That's cargo scrum, very common disease. Teams without autonomy or self-organization. The queue should consist of higher level tasks, milestones, and the team should rework them into the small tasks that will actually go into sprints.

It's main purpose is to react to changes, and make the whole process sustainable. It's literally one of the 4 main lines of the manifesto and the second of the 12 principles, and included in the meaning of the term "agile&quo

No, they need to come up with that on their own. What exactly "wrong" means? And why do you think you know it better than them? What if they find some better way that you didn't know about? Agile says that it needs to be sust

This is why I hire students. I have to teach them my way before some other company ruins them forever.

We still need to explain what "agile" is. Ask yourself why do we "need" to deliver small increments at frequent pace? Isn't it to be able to react to changes?

Have the team reflect and come up with a better process, or they will be disbanded. Give them any and all the resources they ask for.

True. Unfortunately I've seen similar arguments discussed unironically before, so I just didn't catch it here.

Some engineers complain about having the ability to pick their tasks and have input in prioritization and planning? This has always been the most attractive part of agile for me. Self-organized team. Built around motivated individuals. Stri

Can you point to any of the 12 principles which says that we should do "barely any testing"? I can point to some that say "deliver working software" and "it's the only valid measure of progress". If testin

Agile is about reacting to changing requirements. If the requirements never change, then agile doesn't promise to be better than other methodologies. It came from a rapidly changing crashing markets in the .com bubble. How would the ot

Then again, the best ideas come from constructive disagreements, not blind conformity.

But that implies there are a lot of good programmers among the rejected CVs. I mean here in this example from OP - if he improves his CV visuals and then finds a job - that means he had the technical qualities to get the job in the first pl

Is there actually any measurable relation between the colors on a CV and work performance? If hiring managers drop candidates just based on this, then I assume there must be a really strong relation, but I've never ever seen one, or ev

What I'm saying is that if it's really true that he is going out because "the people that matter don't think Emad was going to be able to turn it around" then it's very likely that the replacement will be mor

Well, that means his replacement will be a money shark, enshittyfying Stability AI for higher profits.

What I saw way too often is that a project will use a dependency only for one tiny function. That's how we get a calendar app with 2.5GB node_modules.

Apache-2.0 gives everyone those rights. The CLA makes Element the only one who can build proprietary modifications on top. Monopolization of the position they gained by advertising as open-source.

In the article: > Don't get me wrong, people will expect you to write good and clean code. I can agree with this. Clean code is not "celebrated" because it is expected as normal. You won't get a raise for it. You coul

Realistically, if they started as proprietary in the first place, they wouldn't ever grow to this size (just another closed chat app competing with Discord and Messenger), so they still benefited from being open-source. Now they are re

The CLA ennsures their monopoly, it increases the asymmetry over time. Forks will have to share all improvements with Element, but Element will be able to provide proprietary improvements, which means more people will chose it. Then they ca
