Exactly. Not only that but the chance of an entire team agreeing this is the best idea would split the team between the yays and nays. The only thing that would work would be for people not to buy tickets and not to watch the matches but sa

It is obviously easy (and perhaps often true) that many problems in corporations are due to inefficiency and job creation but there is something important that is also implied from the fact that they have got to the stage of large corporate

Lots of comments seem to get something confused. Devops doesn't mean you won't have specialist ops teams, but it also doesn't mean that every deployment has to go via the ops team. Devops is: Moving value quickly from left to

I read that the low ground-clearance of the 737 was really popular since it allowed easier/manual luggage loading at smaller airports. I suspect their existing stock of spare parts would also favour a refresh of the existing model comp

I think a big issue from what people are saying is that somehow it has become an infosec's employee's fault that the system is not secure. This is about managing boundaries and happens in many disciplines. My wife struggles as a S

I agree and I think the detachment comes when you try and make sure you aren't bringing in fear and insecurity into the room, whether you get that by self-help books or therapy is up to you. The way to deal with any difficult situation

Here's the thing. Developers are generally perfectionists and marketers are realists. As a Developer, I am naturally uncomfortable with marketing because my default view is that I don't want to lie or over-promise and I don't

It makes a lot of sense, which is why a lot of people follow it. Your comment is implying that somehow 1000s of people around the world don't realise they are doing something stupid. You are portraying a poorly run implementation of ag

So you are saying that agile happened because of coders and not because there were fundamental problems with using waterfall on large projects? No part of agile says that you get rid of planning and organizing, it is just done in smaller sl

Personally, I do find back-end easier to reason about than FE, although it will almost certainly depend on your choice of language/framework to a greater or lesser extent. In C# MVC (Or PHP MVC like Yii which is very similar), you have
