Your 'controversial opinion' is incorrect. We live in a world where THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE. Not withstanding the negative environmental, social and psychological effects that advertising can have .. I simply don't care to li

I wonder how many people _think_ about applying for a job advertised by traditional means; but never actually end up applying? I'd imagine a lot of people do; I know I have in the past. Perhaps the main difference with a digital applic

How on earth is not our right to engage our own brains and decide if we agree with any aspect of the world that hold sway on us????!! I completely disagree. To think otherwise is to be entirely passive and compliant in a world that quite po

It's wholly dependent on the larger organisation. If you need to demo to gain stakeholder approval, and provide ceremonies like retros to disseminate knowledge to a wider team .. these events need scheduling. Randomly springing these o

I'm sorry, but; no. Developers aren't the only part of a product team. You can't just drop sprints without failing to meet other objectives.

I don't want to be rude; but this essay really isn't useful. It's a rant. To the author: You don't like sprints or backlogs? Okay. So what's the alternative? Take step back, think about the problem that agile tries

I think one issue, is that the world changes around an app or library. In these cases, the code base could need updating as a side effect of this change. Also, not many people (especially me included) are able to write something that's

I agree it's a rat's nest of bad decisons. But ultimately, all it reinforces to me is that there is no chance in hell I will ever give money to a company that can remotely perform this type of sanction on a product I own. I will n

Why should anyone else be able to choose how someone lives their own life? I believe in freedom to choose.

No. I think what you mean to say is, it's an extremely terrifying situation for an investor. By the end of the article, I wonder whether there weren't actually fixable problems. I was left wondering whether I would have made the s

Here's how I see Apple: They will do anything to continue to grow. Including things that are seen as pro-consumer. This is actually is a cost, as it's used to justify their continued domination. The harm done shouldn't be exa

I guess Apple is aware that by caring about photo metadata, they'll increase user retention for their cloud services. Apple is always mendaciously aware of its own strategic business objectives. Any set of user-positive functionality i
