Nope, I think I mis-understood what you were saying :) I thought you had said "risk $100k" meaning $100k worth of on-paper gains, not $100k of cash to gamble on stock. My mistake!
One thing I've observed in (badly-run, I think) Agile teams is big standup meetings, where if anyone starts a discussion or even asks a question (rather than just reporting status) somebody immediately says "offline!" -- i.e., have that discussion after the meeting.

I can see that the motivation is to avoid wasting the whole team's time on a discussion that only needs two or three people; but suppressing discussion can hurt too, as it stops people learning about tricky issues outside of their immediate work area.

It would be helpful to have some rules of thumb to show when you're doing Agile wrong. Probably those exist already -- anyone got a good link? And probably "too many people in the standup meeting" is a good rule of thumb!

Dragging on for an hour sounds absolutely awful. I'd even say more than about six people is too many.

In Utah, we can pass on the right as long as there are more than two lanes. If there are only two lanes, you are supposed to only pass on the left. As noted in other comments, this is state-based and I've never once seen it enforced.

I think that people just want Tim Cook to be Steve Jobs. However Steve even wanted Tim to come in and do what Tim does.
Ballmer was a political leader for Microsoft (looking back on his statements, they were all designed around keeping the stock price up not prognosticating the future of tech/Microsoft).

I give Cook a lot more credit than Ballmer, he may not be able to attain a Jobs/Gates level performance for the company but let's not insult the man.
Assuming equity is worthless the base salary has to be north of 200K to match the market rate (for low level software engineers) for public tech companies. In most Unicorns that's definitely not the case. In fact when I interviewed for Uber they explicitly said that their base salary is low compared to Google/FB but they make it up in equity.
At least in that case you get the days paid out when you leave.
Many of these practices are popularized by Google/Facebook/Amazon but don't make sense for a company with 100 or even 1,000 people. I try to focus on whether a practice will solve a concrete problem we're facing.

Switching from Hadoop to Spark was clearly a good idea for our team, even though it required learning a new stack, but there isn't a strong reason to switch to Flink or start using Haskell.

Agile makes sense when your main risk is fine-grained details of user requirements, but not when you have other substantial risks, such as making sure a statistical algorithm is accurate enough.

Microservices probably reduces the asymptotic cost of scaling but add a huge constant factor.

Relational databases are the right choice 95% of the time, non-relational stores require a really specific use case.

TDD is good for fast feedback in some domains, but for others, manually investigating the output or putting your logic into types is better. E.g. a lot of my time comes from scaling jobs that work on 10gb of data but crash on 1tb, TDD is not that helpful here.

Continuous integration mostly makes sense when you're making a lot of small changes and can reliably expect a test suite to catch issues.

In short, ask the question "when is practice X useful?" instead of "is practice X a good idea?"

The EU actually means something, though. It's a shared economic system. The UK is the one who's choosing to leave that system. So of course that means that ... drumroll please ... they're actually going to leave that system, which means that jobs that work inside that system now have to move somewhere else since London won't be in the system anymore. You're twisting yourself into knots to somehow pin this on the Europeans.
Your comment is simple trolling. Most nations in the Snowden leaks spy on each other with humans and hacking. Only a few had their tools leaked by Snowden. Others, with spy & surveillance programs still running. immediately used that as political and economic leverage. That leaks damaged one set of countries while giving others benefits is a fact.

The real question is whether there is a greater good to that damage justifying it. I think there was for the domestic leaks but not the foreign ones outside a few. Far as that few, the Belgacom attack is a good example where taking down allies' telecoms over bullshit could have consequences for America past the usual info collection the spies do. Americans should have a conversation about that kind of thing before those acting on our behalf do such acts.

My Go Resolutions for 2017
It's annoying when people get really dogmatic about having to stand up in the stand-up meeting. I know it's supposed to remind and encourage everyone to keep the meeting short, but in my experience that simply doesn't work.
It's hard to say without more details:

- Are you experiencing a lot of stress at work or at home?

- Are 60hrs/week the norm at your workplace?

- Are you sleeping 8hours a day? Has you sleep changed (getting either more or less sleep than usual)

- How is your diet? Are you eating hurried meals at your desk or sitting down with colleagues or family?

- Are you experiencing physical fatigue?

- Do you have some close friends you can interact with regularly? (especially outside of work)

My general advice would be to:

- Take a 2 week vacation as soon as possible, and disconnect completely from work during that period.

- Reduce work hours to 40hrs/week

- Spend time with friends or family, have a laugh.

- Make sure you are getting enough sleep.

- Exercise. If fatigued physically, keep to mild exercise like walking in nature. Aerobic exercise is fine if not fatigued.

- Disconnect from work evenings and weekends, no monitoring slack channels or cellphones.

- Reduce cellphone use to minimum to perform specific tasks.
I have never heard of using salary to buy options instead of just having a fixed salary and fixed options package.

This sounds like it might be a way to dodge the taxman (but you paid income tax on the $1000/month, so maybe not), or maybe your employer is trying an experiment with compensation packages.
Seeing the comments, many people are still in denial that some finance jobs might leave London this year.

This seems strange, considering that even the Prime Minister's position is that keeping those jobs is not a main priority. She has said that very clearly.

That's a simplistic application of lane discipline principle to a 7-lane road. I'm sure you aren't advocating for everyone to drive in the rightmost except when overtaking. The question then becomes one of acceptable gradient. How much faster do I need to go to warrant the use of the lane to my left? Is there a quantum?

In America the accepted answers are "none" and "no". Also a 7-lane road is a terrible idea.

It's probably too early to say that Realm made it work.

They've raised a roughly similar amount of VC money as RethinkDB did. Their last raise was a few years ago, before Parse's shutdown, so I suspect that investors are more antsy about this space today.

The fact that Realm recently entered the cloud space sounds similar to RethinkDB's trajectory too... Of course I hope Realm makes it, it's a great product. But I'm worried that they're trapped in the VC-funded model like RethinkDB was.

> Straight honesty isn't always a virtue.

I find this an interesting statement. Would you mind providing some clear examples of a real-life situation where honesty isn't a virtue?

I often find that lying is convenient (for the person lying) in the short term but its damage can be far reaching and difficult to predict. If you want to have meaningful and effective relationships (at home or at work) straight honesty is always beneficial.

I do remember working with someone who had Alzheimer's disease. I stopped being honest with her quite quickly as I figured that repeatedly reminding her of her husband's death was wrong. But I can't think of any other examples of my life when straight honesty wasn't a virtue. What about you?

I was raised in a home that didn't allow any swearing, swearing just really isn't in my active vocabulary.

I totally swear when I stub my toe, when I forget something and I'm half way to work, but I never feel need the need to interject swears into common sentences.

People comment that I don't swear often -- usually uncomfortably checking if I'm against it-- I'm not, I work in finance where there is a lot of swearing done and don't mind. Its just not part of the vocab I use.

Interesting twist for me is that now that the kids are all grown up my mother swears and said she swore a lot before kids but 'gave it up' to make the rule real. Totally hard for my brain to handle.
That's not quite how AMT works. AMT is not added to your taxes, it's an entirely alternative tax system (hence the A in AMT). You'll pay the larger of the two values (AMT vs ordinary tax), and given the taxation rates, you may not have made enough to actually trigger AMT. The rate for AMT is lower than ordinary tax, and there's an exemption for the first $N (where N varies based on several factors).
DW is a replication of tech from 1999 (hey, Mr. Fitzpatrick, thank you!). It shows. DW is also more geared towards discovery and community-building, a somehow different offer.
Most instances of tech debt are things you don't have to deal with. Usually, it is the term pulled out for things people don't like. Or generally deprecated methods that have better replacements, but still work.

It is this second sense that I was latching on. It --tech debt-- will drive decisions today. But it is not clearly bad. Just a constraint on current decisions that was made in the past. Often for decent or really good reasons.

Bit rot is another term for things that start to decline in how well they work. That is generally different, though. Usually a by product of replacing implementations without keeping functionality. Such that people relying on old behavior are left cold. (I can see how tech debt can easily turn to bit rot. But it is not required.)

Consider, LaTeX being an old code base is often used to call it tech debt filled. People want to modernize it. Not because it doesn't work. But because they think there are better ways, now. And they do not consider all of the documents made on it as infrastructure.

Now, i concede that all of this is my wanting the terms to have unique and actionable meanings. Elsewhere I was told "tech debt" is a catch all term now. That seems to rob it off usefulness.

Edit:. I forgot to address the monetary aspect of the analogy. I like that, to an extent. But most debt is taken in very specific terms financially. Unlike colloqually termed debts between friends. That is, there is no interest in this metaphor that works. Nor is there a party you are borrowing from.
Bollocks. Less populated states have vastly higher federal legislative representation per capita.
1) Sounds like there's a lot more to the story.

* Was the "best tool" what the devs thought it was?

* Was it something they would hate using? Say, Java for Perl devs?

* Was there a steep learning curve? An obscure language?

2) How big is the system? How complex is the business? How ops-friendly are the devs to start with?

3) You (or someone) must know how much system failure would cost.

4) CI can help with your devops, but its main point is to help with your software quality. See #2.

5) Totally agree, though you can also try being agile about "Agile" and taking just whatever parts work for you.

My $0.02 anyway.

(Aside: years ago I worked on a team doing ad-hoc semi-agile, which worked pretty well. I'm 99% sure I could have double our output and launched a management-consulting career if I could have credibly held the threat of Real Corporate Agile Scrum over their heads. But that was before the flood. One of them works for Atlassian now, ironically enough.)

I have a hard time believing that you can gather that much about "culture" from one visit.

I spent two months living in Toronto again as an adult after 10 years living in Mountain View and then San Francisco, and I hated:

- the lack of interesting tech jobs

- the lack of culture

- the terrible weather with no upsides (Ontario is so topographically boring and you have to get on a very expensive flight to get anywhere interesting)

There are similarly competitive people in engineering disciplines, even.

You basically just said, totally straight-faced: "Don't do it man, it's not worth it! My friend thought he was worth $40 million but was never able to cash more than $10 million out."

That is literally the structure of your comment. You said, don't do it, you mentioned your friend as for why not, and the punchline to his sad story is he only cashed out 25%, or $10 million, of what he thought he had.

By positioning this as your example of a loss, I don't think you could have made a stronger argument for doing it if you had tried. Anyone who has $10M is set for life and independently very wealthy: they're rich. They could fly every two weeks for thirty years, for example (780 trips) staying at a four star hotel every day of that entire time (100 euros * 365 * 30 years still gets to only $1M). I mention these because they're luxuries. He's loaded.

>> I worked for one startup which got bought. The founders made money. All of the employees lost money.

I think this is far more common than you'd think. Take YC for example. I'd be really curious to compare SamA's outcome vs. employee #5's outcome (for example). Even when companies "fail", founders do just fine for themselves via acquihire, and it's generally not tied to their stock (acquirer values stock at $0, pays off investors, employees get retention bonuses of ~$50-100k over 4 years, founders get quite a bit more than that).
I think this is where a lot of varied work experience (small / large / old / new companies) is key, because it gives you perspective. You can then ask yourself, "why does this process suck so much, and why didn't it when I worked at X? In my experience, people who come from a monoculture background usually seem to not question dubious software, architecture and methodology choices that end up killing productivity and sanity.
