Nobody mentioned the PO managing anybody. But of course they own the priorities. The whole point is to stop the original poster trying to micro manage and in doing so preventing the team from self organising. You've completely misunder

This is the very opposite of a sweatshop. It's giving a nascent team control over their own success or failure and the quickest possible feedback loop for them to apply their own learnings. If you don't recognise it perhaps you

Self analysis. Think carefully about your motivations, decisions, feelings - be honest with yourself. Don't just let things happen to you and react, understand why you feel like you do and either accept it or change it.

Stop managing the team. No 1-1s. Don't insulate the team from the product owner, let them feel the pain of not delivering. Shorten the sprints down to a week to reduce the feedback loop time. Stop doing commitment based planning, just

I'm largely reading novels or technical text as epubs on e-ink devices and the only time I've ever had issues like those you mention is when publishers have included "arty" css. I wouldn't tend to read magazines in

I find for me the most usable experience is to convert to epub, strip all the CSS and fonts, and let my device sort out the typography according to my preference. I never really understand why people think the publisher is best placed to d

Misuse of checked exceptions pre-dates this advice and some of those libraries are very slow to go away. Library and framework developers mostly only know that a client cannot recover from an exception; rarely can they make good judgement a

Lusha in NY does this too except they claim the deletion magically happened automatically because of "algorithms". I'd made a subject access request because they'd sold my personal email address linked to my business pos

Ironic that the application won't load in Firefox without disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection because it relies on third party access to storage.

Jira. How can so simple a concept be implemented with so many unnecessary lines of code and run so slowly? Despite (because of?) several major redesigns, that is.

What makes the manager responsible is being a human who is aware of danger they might reasonably be able to protect other humans from.

Well written apology but despite that I'd still be very concerned that a company entrusted with so much sensitive personal data can get this so wildly wrong and then also get the initial responses to the very predictable negative react

No, it covers EU citizens' data fully no matter where they are or where the data is. It may also cover non-EU citizens when in Europe which is perhaps what the article you read was referring to or had misunderstood.

I've always found TripleByte's marketing-disguised-as-help left some vague sense of distrust with me. I think it was pretending to have some deep insight about recruitment that never felt in the least bit believable. I guess the i

One simple example - of many: Enterprise clients with low workload but very sensitive data strict infosec and segregation requirements - several clusters per client all managed with infrastructure as code. There are lots of benefits to k8 o

I don't like the direction this is heading, it seems like the SLA and the accompanying charge could easily have been optional. We have a couple of dozen clusters, two per client, and can't change the architecture. We use helm and

I write shorthand notes in a text file using a text editor saved in a folder mounted from Drive. The first line is the subject and meeting date. Sometimes the second line is names of attendees & their initials if it's not a regula

GDPR doesn't work like that, the means of obtaining the data does not relate to the legal basis you have for processing it. If you process personal data you need at least one legal basis, you decide what that is and you take on certain

Contrived wooden questions like these would be a solid reason to not work for a manager. If someone isn't able to empathise with other humans well enough to discover how they're doing without trying to artificially manipulate a co

It's hard to conceive of an issue which is less important in modern programming. In 20 years of commercial programming on a variety of platforms my experience is that case sensitivity causes no problems at all and case insensitivity c

In my experience its unlikely this will be complete or accurate on any project maintained by a team of more than a couple of people. Common practice for a long time has been to include a ticket id in the commit and then use a script to pull

How do you link the tickets to the code that was actually built to be sure the changelog is complete and accurate? It's usual to include the ticket id in the commit or PR so you can pull it from logs at build time and have a canonical
