I hate how true this is. Not even 2 years later for my case.

All the projects that have shittier outcomes in my experience is always waterfall. This is mainly because the stakeholders usually have this bright idea to be added in the middle of development that’s really need to be added at all costs and then got angry when the timeline got pushed because of their fucking request breaking a lot of shit.

At least scrum has a lead time of around 2 weeks so that when someone has a idea we can tell them we’ll add it to the backlog and hope they forgot about it during the next sprint planning.

Thanks for the warning. I just got my first Uber unique in Diablo 4 and I don’t want my day to be ruined.

Henry Cavill as Szeth or Kelsier hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I mostly use Firefox, so I develop on Firefox and check other browsers for issues. That way, I can make sure the app and websites I’m working on still work on Firefox.

Proof that mewing works 🗿

Just hire Kirkbride back goddamnit. I installed Immortals of Aveum and saw that Kirkbride is the main writer and got pumped on the game but that damn thing keeps crashing on me. So I’m back to just playing Diablo or Minecraft for the time being.

It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.

Just hand over the reins to Obsidian and it’ll be 10x better than what Bethesda can produce.

3x times the headcount 9x times the lead times. Spend more for less!

Fuck you. 60s are still 30-40 years ago damnit!

This is what I do. And I’m not an introvert. I spent too much time on people’s homes when I was a kid because I didn’t have a lot growing up. Now, since I got something I always invite people over for dinner or for some LAN party session.

Most of the time they already know whether you’re human or robot from your user agent string and the speed of your request. I encountered multiple layer of Captchas if I turned in my VPN and blocked all trackers.

It might depend on which part of the world they live in. In the West? Not so much. But in a third world country? It might very well be a day’s work wage.

For me, I need to do the first thing in my schedule “right” or else my day is ruined and I lost the motivation to do anything properly.

If your work is bleeding edge enough, even ChatGPT won’t be of help since it’s not in their training dataset.

Ohh I had a similar experience with a quite big open source project (~10k stars on GitHub). Posted an issue, it’s obscure enough even the lead maintainer comes in to help and still got stuck unable to fix the issue.

Ahh, Elite: Dangerous. My pandemic times game. Played that shit almost religiously until Odyssey came out and tanked performance and burned me out of the game. Did manage to go into Sag A* before I stopped playing.

If you’re competent, a SM is invaluable, however it’s one of the easiest to replace role. As an example, almost all of the engineers in my division has a PSM I certification. So all the SM do is just facilitate meetings. When we started we have around 5 SMs but currently only have 1 because all of the SMs are redundant since the team already know how scrum works.
