  • I love how bright bulbs have utterly perverted the spirit of agile development into something so horrible that people are memifying ignoring it rather than trying to fix it.

    Repeat after me: If standup takes any more than a minute or two per person you’re really really doing it wrong and it isn’t standup anymore and needs to be staked, buried and the earth salted that it may never rise again.

    For an act of socially immature but oh so satisfying passive aggressive resistance, leave a copy of the Agile Manifesto on your scrum master’s desk :)

    (Or, if you think they’d be receptive, talk to them about moving long form reporting to any other medium so stand-up can be a simple meeting where folks give blocked/not blocked status and, where blocked, resources are directed to help.

    that’s it.

    Stand-ups where Mortimer from the Front End team gives a 30 minute treatise on why react is a horrible fit for your application ARE IN FACT NOT STAND-UPS.

    They’re just poorly run meetings in an agile trench coat.

















  • I think a lot of the hating on Gamepass is justified, but I’ve just gotta say as a partially blind gamer it has been a godsend for me.

    I used to struggle with whether or not to buy a game every single time because in most cases there is no way from descriptions and reviews for me to know how any given game will work with my vision and fine/gross motor impairment.

    With gamepass I can try things and if I can’t play it? I move on and try something else.

    Kinda sad that we can’t find some middle ground between making games accessible for disabled folks without bankrupting developers and ultimately hurting consumers.

    The crafting of titles is a tricky thing :) Sure, you could say that the title should read “Python 3.13’s code base will have the addition of support for a JIT” or similar, but at the end of the day, does this distinction actually matter so long as the article contains the important bits in an accurate way?

    I guess what I’m saying is that we’re in subjective territory here and to my mind, I’ve seen WAY more egregious examples of misleading utter click bait titles.
