If a company enforces RTO or other policies making many employees unhappy, it's the people with options to work somewhere better who are leaving. Having such options is likely correlated with good performance. So Grindr probably took a

The issue is that agile was once (back in the days of the manifesto) a grass roots effort to make life for developers better, but in many companies it has been perverted and twisted from a framework for collaboration and self-organization t

Indeed, Scrum looks nice in theory, and can be nice in practice (from my personal experience), because in theory it is about self-organizing of teams and collaboration with the product owner. In practice however in so many companies it is t

There are so many reasons sprint goals are abused, it can be it bad management culture trickling down, people in charge not understanding even the simplest points of the Agile Manifesto, or even weird companywide KPIs linked to Scrum or Kan

I've worked agile for quite some years now. Please repeat after me: 1. The sprint goal is not a contract. The mental and physical well being of the developers always takes precedence over the sprint goal. The sprint goal is merely a gu

A bad PM that's good at talking will usually lead to a non-consistent product strategy (due to promising too much to different stakeholders), and subsequently to death march projects to fulfill all the non realistic promises made. If y

I don't think that Product Manager is exclusively a trophy job, if at all. It takes quite some skill to manage a product properly, maintain healthy product boundaries, create a sensible roadmap, combat feature creep, etc. A product man

It's a bit weird that the author doesn't mention System1 with a single word in the announcement. Also no word about what replaces that partnership.

Well, there's procmail[0], and there's Sieve[1]. I've used both and was satisfied. There are solutions that work on remote IMAP accounts, shuffling messages into folders. However I've never used one of these. 0. https:&

It's full mesh with 3 fixed servers and one machine with a dynamic IP. Just configured all peerings in WG instead of Tinc. I don't need Tinc's mesh routing, so WG is sufficient for me.

I recently switched from Tinc to Wireguard (4 machines) due to simpler configuration and better support for road warriors. Transition was quite painless.

The first graph in the article is a bit misleading, as it muddles together the full-time working hours and the amount and fraction of part-time work. Fortunately, lower down in the article there's a graph that shows the full-time worki

I don't really know about the current state of hiring in the different sectors. What I can say from my experience doing some IT projects for manufacturing, is that the one thing they surely would never do was over-hiring of IT people a

I can vouch for my Arctis 5 to be the most comfortable PC Headset I've ever bought. I had to replace mine after ~3 years due to multiple parts slowly failing (cable, plugs, volume knob on the headset).
