I really like this list, they all resonate with my own experience, I’ve been in both sides of many items (zealot became cynical)

try to focus on the things you are good at and enjoy doing. It seems that you don’t enjoy the more design side of things (animations, layout, pixel perfect) and perhaps nor the infra part (setting up es6 libs), but what do you enjoy? Do you

A better reason to not return void is that it will make you think more about immutability and side-effects. Not returning void allow you to reduce the hidden state changes or at least to manage them better

As for the query parsing, here is a suggestion: couldn’t you convert that in shell argv automatically? If “name=foo&email=bar” becomes “--name=foo --email=bar” then devs can just use regular argv parsing utils from the language, and th

Weird because that’s exactly the points I feel agile should be help with. In the teams I’m in I always promote the whole team should be part of deciding what to do, prioritizing, and coming up with ideas of valuable things to do, I speak up

Do you hate the idea of pair programming or the actual act? Have you tried it? It was indeed weird at first but then I had lots of fun from pairing, I really miss it since the whole corona started

My first experience with agile was not with Scrum but XP, and it was a very good one. There are so many people here conflating Agile with Scrum, and I shouldn’t be surprised I guess, but my goal was not to invoke the “No true Scotsman falla

If nothing, it was valuable for me already. My goal was not to preach agile (much less scrum), but to actually try to find a common rationale behind the good and bad experiences that people do feel they had coming from agile. And for me (ma

I 100% agree, it was not my intention on the post that “nature” is the approach to follow completly, we don’t want to take million years randomly guessing for sure, just borrow a part of what nature does, which is facing the real world, let

I really despise those apps, it’s yet another thing putting people to work under middle-class instead of each citizen solving their own problems, increasing the social inequality, and also another duck tape to the problems car-centric socie

Sometimes people claim to value “quality” of the product over engineering, but by quality they actually mean short-term profits increase, which is very valid for a startup if you ask me
