You guys seem to be using the daily scrum as a planning meeting, I would suggest to add all the after-meeting stuff to the backlog and discuss them in the next sprint planning. Daily scrums should not take longer than 15 mins. A good scrumm

Prosecutors enjoy a broad array of tools to do their job. It is up to them to use these tools sensibly or risk Congress taking them away. AG Ortiz needs to go not only for the prosecutorial bullying but also because she was dumb enough to e

Ms Ortiz was making Swartz "an example" by throwing the kitchen sink at him so nobody else thinks about "hacking". The ones among us who signed the petition want to make AG Ortiz "an example" by asking for her head in a platter, so prosecut

I worked there as self-employed contractor and unless the law changed, the employer was forced to convert you to full time employee after 6 months. They might have changed that, last I heard there was a huge political fight about part-time

I grew up in Chile and although bankruptcy laws are harsh, labor laws are even harsher and unlikely to change given the political power of unions: Employers are mandated to give 30 days notice when laying off employees. They also have to pa

"there's no way of enforcing these workflows or practices other than out-of-band social conventions" I think this is exactly what Linus intended when he designed Git. He explained in a Google talk the way he controls what is committed to th

This is progress, but not nearly enough. Imho we shouldn't need to dig prior art like this to protect ourselves. I think granting a patent should be the EXCEPTION, not the norm and patent examinators should aim at finding any excuse not to

Every time I come across "why scrum sucks" articles like these I can quickly point the problem: the ScrumMaster. #1 - Iterations are less efficient than pull-based approaches: A good ScrumMaster keeps an eye on the burndown chart and negoti
