The point of a stand is for the team to synchronize and raise potential issues. If the team is small, cross-functional, and working in the same area, it has a lot of value. You seem to be looking at this from the perspective of "what c

I can't wait for the inevitable lawsuits that will result when this technology is white-labeled and misrepresents the business to customers or investors.

Sorry, I assumed that you were part of tech. I only know about good processes for software development.

You should be able to know this through a defined engineering process, and the signals that this process produces (standups, ticket progress, etc). Regularly interrupting people to get status updates is not the way to do it.

Yes but I don't go to work to socialize with my manager. I go to make money for the business and me so that I can have a life outside of work.

These have always been an enormous waste of time from my perspective. They only serve to make a manager feel like they know what everyone is doing, all the time. Anything process-wise should be handled through scrum. Anything personal can b

You can ask ChatGPT if you can run it locally, and it will happily say it is open source, then give 2 github.com links that 404 and then say it doesn't know where the code is if you press it for answers.

That's the intention. Suggesting that there is something wrong with that is implying that it is not designed to be that way. People barely struggling to stay afloat means the system is close to an optimized state. If people have any ex

While I agree, you're right, nobody wants to hear it. There's no point telling people to have discipline, because discipline is not spread through strangers telling each other to have it. Someone either has the capacity to have di

The thought experiment doesn't depend on Jobs knowing or not.

Isn't this the natural progression of a shrinking population? If you don't want this to happen, have lots of children.

It's not a nonsensical "spherical cow in vacuum" thought experiment to say "Pixar exists but some employees are treated bad" vs "Pixar doesn't exist". If you think that it becomes impossible for a rat

Yes, because a and b represent a specific combination I said I was interested in exploring. What you've shown doesn't lower the plausibility of those scenarios. Are you being intentionally contrarian or is there a reason why you a

So far I haven't seen a counter experience from you about how Jobs treated the "regular workers" at Pixar, so as I see it, it's a quote from people who were close to what happened versus the absence of a counter experien

Why wouldn't I be glad for something that I thought was worth it? Not really sure what you're trying to say.

I addressed why the hypothetical is limited to two options, and taking a subset of plausible scenarios does not reduce the plausibility of the selected scenarios.

A legendary animator and director, both who helped found Pixar with Jobs, aren't credible because they became so successful that they're now millionaire executives?

"Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer-animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply 'make it great.' He is why Pixar turned out the way we did and his strength, integrity,

It's not an unreal scenario at all. It's entirely plausible that a company falls apart when lacking the specific motivators and pressures that Jobs brought, and therefore never really exists in the first place. What's unreal

If the question is "Is the limited bullying and serfdom of 40 people (the original Pixar team size) justified by bringing joy to billions of people (more accurate than millions) for decades (and likely a lot longer)?" Then I answe

If the two options are "Pixar exists, but some employees were treated unfairly" or "Pixar never exists", I will choose the first. Whether or not there are other options is not a hypothetical I care about, I am interested

by mshake2 4y ago
It matters because whether or not I take your question in good faith is dependent on how much you distort my words in the asking of it.

Why did you substitute "art" for "bringing joy to millions of people for decades"?

by mshake2 4y ago
Seems like a small price to pay to assemble the most innovative animation studio that would bring joy to millions of people for decades.

Simply "disagreement" implies that there are valid opinions and perspectives to engage about. What we have now is a culture so polarized that you are literally evil to the other side if you disagree. We can't afford to have s

To piggyback off of this, I predict we'll be hearing (not seeing) the phrase "the internet is fake" a lot more.
