Nice! That place was invaluable for beta testing it and provided a ton of good ideas. Cool you saw it there.

For me, its a better CarPlay experience with the phone. Google maps has very tiny text that is hard to read. Waze has a great high contract view of all upcoming turns that is easy to drive with.

I agree Id rather call it something else but Id rather get back to "global warming" or better yet "the greenhouse effect".

This is a very nihilistic, hyper libertarian take on all of this. This comes off as just a rant against the boogyman fed which prints money and creates inflation.

Thank you for this comment. I was reading the article and couldn’t agree more. Theres a place for hacking towards a goal theres a place for reliability. If you can only do one, then you are only half an engineer. If success isn’t defined an

Absolutely wild that apparently the Twilio team doesnt require any sort of MFA to access internal data, and then even wilder that this incident report doesnt even mention this.

Tangent related to this. I had an old yahoo mail address from late 90s till mid 00s before I switched to gmail. Lots of family / high school / college / early professional emails were there. The other month I logged in to vie

I think the answer to all of this is 'it depends'. Is there already a ticket and are you working to update the app? Then update the documentation. No ticket necessary. Are you redoing the whole set of docs to make the steps for ne

by mr-ron 4y ago
I dont really think you are grasping what I am saying. I want engineers to make tickets, and prioritize their time themselves. Creating a ticket to update docs is fine because it allows the engineer to set the scope, and define the audience

by mr-ron 4y ago
Im not sure why you are describing my example of PRs needing tickets to be 'heavy process'. Especially since Im pushing for engineers being able to create quick ad-hoc tickets within 30 seconds.

SOC compliance is indeed a beast. I have my own theories on how valuable this benchmarks REALLY is, but if teams are in a financial org, it is super common to have controls that have the potential to really hamstring teams. Which is doubly

What is the scope of this documentation change? Is this a quick edit, or is this a whole new tutorial for new engineers getting their stack up? How long is this going to take? Do you want an engineer every standup saying 'im working o

Ive both worked in and led highly functional, and highly non-functional organizations. You are exactly right, that much of what Im pushing is the vision of what Agile / Scrum is supposed to facilitate, and what the benefits can look li

by mr-ron 4y ago
Yes I agree and thats why Scrum / Agile gets a bad rap around here.

by mr-ron 4y ago
I think you just nailed it. With the PR that fell through the cracks. The danger of having a ticketless fix is, you end up with PRs that are not on anyone's plate to fix. The nice thing about tickets is that it creates a clear line of

My comment above is describing a place that is all autonomy and no micromanagement to the extreme. Its a place I worked before I understood the value of upfront documentation. The situation Ill describe as a good place to work is, you have

I think we started there but have extended into a different discussion as to 'why is jira important to engineering teams'.

by mr-ron 4y ago
Those ad-hoc doc updates are the exception vs the norm. It is also common to have controls in github, where its required for a jira ticket to be attached to a PR. In that situation. Its literally impossible to merge into the codebase withou

by mr-ron 4y ago
This is why tickets can be used to protect the engineering team. You dont want people ad-hoc adding scope, or interrupting work for engineers. You want engineers to have focus time, on a clear actionable item, that is set up for success, an

Imagine the inverse where you have a team of engineers working on their own projects. And you dont know who is working on what, or why. Because there is no pull request yet. Who requested this change? What is the scope? Where is the upfront

by mr-ron 4y ago
It can add value if done right. Just as you typically want to make a design doc / rfc before working on a project, you often want to describe what you are doing before you do it. This can protect the engineer / team against scope
