Old school team management was always a disaster. No project manager in my 36 years of software development could ever accurately "estimate" the level of effort for developers. Asking us to estimate was never helpful either.

I've worked on scrum and other types of agile project management over the last ten years. In that time, I've seen many bad implementations and only one good one. At Redbox, they had it down to a science and it worked perfectly. They had meetings for developing stories run by business analysts. They had sprint planning meetings run by scrum masters that only involved fully vetted and story-pointed stories. They used Fibonacci numbers for voting and everyone had a vote, including the QA people. They had QA people! We only started a sprint if everyone agreed on the stories. We (the developers) selected stories. We were never assigned anything. Stand ups were very quick. What are you working on, what did you complete, do you have any blockers.

The entire point of agile/scrum is transparency and to focus on delivering incremental value. Over time, that value can be packaged and reported upward to show management what features are being added or improved. No one can hide. If you're not pulling your weight or invested in your work, everyone will know within a day or two. If you legitimately have issues with your assignment, you need to communicate that and the team will help you.

The issue that comes up over and over with agile/scrum is how management and budgeting interact with the backlog and prioritization. There is often zero trust from the people writing the checks on "incremental continuous delivery". They want feature X boxed and completed by an arbitrary date. In my experience this _always_ fails. What you end up seeing is "something" being delivered by that date, but with an "acceptable" number of "defects". Which is to say the entire feature isn't really complete and everyone has agreed to lie about that fact.

So continuous delivery via an agile process is the only way to do the work and make sure things stay on the rails. The harder problem is getting people in management circles to understand this process and embrace it and set aside their old school project success reporting techniques.

Like I said. In ten years I've only seen this done well once. And then a few places did it "okay". Most places do what everyone laughingly calls "fake agile", which is a mix of waterfall and agile.

Don't get me started on things like SAFe or Pivotal. Those are ways of putting process behind agile and that breaks one of the primary tenets of agile. People over Process. It's also clearly an attempt to monetize agile through testing and certification or by putting an app in front of it.
Anecdotal, but your experience seems to match well with my understanding of the dark side of scrum/standup.

Holding all else constant I hope to have a job where I am not on the spot for making some unknown amount of tangible progress every 24 hrs. Deep work cannot take place in short, consistent staccato steps. Sometimes big moves forward happen in a day. More often it’s a day better spent thinking hard, rather than thrashing around for quick answers.

Moreover, if I have to ask for extra help to make progress quickly and consistently, I miss out on the learning that trying things myself would provide.

In addition to being very unfulfilling, this means that I do not grow to properly understand the codebase in a timely fashion. This means I will under achieve over the long haul. All the better to judge me inferior I suppose. It can be quite toxic.

I sat in class while we learnt a carol which included the lines 'even if he's black sir'. It sucked. Not just offensive. To kill a mockingbird is a great book but not suitable for kids in it's current form but I don't think it should be rewritten. This isn't woke, it's decency and kindness.
I partially agree but have found it useful to just air my thoughts briefly as there is not always an obvious expert for every subject

"I am not sure about the best way to proceed..." Or "I think I am going to try X not Y..." Or "I got some weird error I don't understand so I am going to be trying to work that out today..."

Often someone will pipe up and say they've had some experience there or faced same issue before and let's talk after the standup or they have a fix in the pipeline for that so don't worry about it until next Tuesday etc etc.

I guess if your colleagues don't listen in meetings though you have a different problem.

I personally find that standups that focus on the outstanding tickets help me to focus on actually working on the tickets themselves :) rather than getting distracted onnbusy work or investigating some curious bug or refactoring something if I have to standup the next day and say "I did nothing on those tickets assigned to me".
Among layers of buried ledes: the underdosing was the result of pre-loaded syringes from a "national stockpile", so presumably the Oakland incident would not be the only case of such under-dosing occurring.

> If you are writing an operating system for a machine with little memory to spare, this seems like a good decision.

Also registers! Especially in syscall interface, consider eg:

int renameat(int olddirfd,char* oldpath,int newdirfd,char* newpath); /* first example I found that had 2 paths */

If you have registers edx,ecx,esi,edi,ebx available, nul-terminated strings make this fit into:

edx olddirfd,ecx oldpath,
esi newdirfd,edi newpath

If you need separate length fields, there simply aren't enough registers:

edx olddirfd,ecx oldpath.ptr,esi oldpath.len,
edi newdirfd,ebx newpath.ptr,??? newpath.len

Very similar experience and age to me.

I tested positive for Covid late March last year. I was moderately sick for 2 weeks, chest pains, tight chest, loss of smell etc, also had a weird rash on my shins (mini blood blisters). Any way I thought I was better, I had a bout of small relapses and general fatigue through April then come mid May, I basically had a huge relapse in symptoms, admitted to hospital with Myocarditis (heart inflammation caused by my immune response to the virus), highly elevated troponin levels (indicators of cardiac damage) - which meant bed rest for 3 months. One other weird symptom I had that was confirmed by MRI, was the V5 nerve on my cheek had its Myelin protein sheath stripped/damaged by my immune response/covid which has caused me facial pain (Neuralgia) for most of the past year. According to the Neurologist I saw this is uncommon in Covid, but happens to MS patients and more commonly post other viruses.

Anyway I am much better now and barely have any symptoms now with the exception of getting tired much more easily. I wouldnt wish this disease on anyone. I hope your symptoms improve. I also have told basically no one except my immediate family about my symptoms as its not worth the pain of discussion!
How do those plans tackle the problem of heterogenious tax systems internationally? No tourist is going to visit you if the restaurant visit costs 3x as much as in their home country (assuming similar living standards in both countries). Those tourists would effectively be taxed twice. Income tax at home and then again full charge on the steak on vacation.
It is a lot more uncommon for MBR-based boot partitions these days. It is no longer the default for Windows. With EFI and GPT, it is a lot simpler. Linux can use a Windows EFI boot partition, or vice-versa. Additionally, in my specific case I have a separate EFI partition saved on a USB stick for booting my encrypted root partition. It adds plausible deniability.
It's common in Germany, called "Sprechstunde" ("speaking hours").

The “3 questions” are alluded to in the text you linked (emphasis mine):

>The Developers can select whatever structure and techniques they want, as long as their Daily Scrum focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan for the next day of work. This creates focus and improves self-management.

> Daily Scrums improve communications, identify impediments, promote quick decision-making, and consequently eliminate the need for other meetings.

While I agree with your point that the format is flexible, asking the questions is a good way to keep people on topic.

Last time I looked into Audius (6-12 months ago), my impression was that they fell into the solution in search of a problem camp of blockchain developers. Good on them for getting some users, but the burden of programming a blockchain and competing against Spotify is very high. Nonetheless they do have users.

A good write-up of how they are missing the mark from the music end is here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/9/20905384/audius-blockchai...
In terms of stand ups and such, it really depends on how well they are done.

Typically, they just become another box to check. “This task is underway, blah, blah..” and everyone tunes out.

I’ve seen them done well and usually because they are focused on prioritization - “is this still important? No? Stop doing it”.
Scrum is great because it encourages hyper-communication through ceremonies but there needs to be some acknowledgement of its purpose, right now it has been hijacked by consultancies so they can save money on BAs and analysis, so it always works out badly in practice.
No worries, for future reference you can check here (hopefully that page will report improved support in the future)

How bad is it really? I get that there are rural and outlier areas but the average bandwidth is higher in the US than Poland. Maybe I just find it hard to relate, but I and most of the heavily populated areas of the North East have had symmetrical FTTH for 15 years now. We have Gigabit up and down for about $90 USD a month.
You can't just go out there and delete history, no matter how bad it was, because you know what happens when you do that? You will end up repeating the past mistakes. The book shows how society was back then, you can't just all of a sudden decide that it didn't exist and somehow put kids in a bubble and hide our past from them.

That is freaking awesome. I learned something new today and it is much simpler than trying to manage inverted colors in CSS.
This signals to me that Google thinks that Chrome either has, or will soon have, a significant enough market share where it is realistic and useful to move their invasive tracking methodology from the web into the browser. Maybe they also realize that any sensible browser vendor which is not also an ad giant should already be blocking web-based tracking technologies. So why even try to make them compatible.

Honestly, as long as Firefox is still compatible with most sites, this won't hugely impact me. After that, I don't know.

What I dislike about things like male privilege is it points the spotlight away from women and ways they are unfairly treated to men.

To me it feels likeanti-colonialist rhetoric perversely applied to gender relations. When you comment on colonialism it makes sense, I'm using a f'ton of resources from say Africa that saps that live there aren't allowed to. But for gender relations, it's not a zero sum game.

Interesting. I'm in South Africa, right now. The largest offer for a senior C# dev *right now* on www.pnet.co.za is R960k/a.

Twelve years ago, the GP that I was dating, who worked in a *state hospital* (i.e. not making as much as she could have in private practice) was making more than that.

I don't believe that doctors' salaries over the last 12 years have effectively been lowered. OTOH, if you know of places where they are offering more than R1.8m/a for senior developers, then by all means give me their contact details.

The issue is when there is a crash or a death could that situation have been avoided if the driver was looking ahead with two hands on the wheel, like you would in any other car without the marketing hype.

I've seen more then enough crashes and deaths in Telsas that were perfectly avoidable providing the driver wasn't watching their ipad.
> I too have worked many places that did not have success with scrum -- all of them had one thing in common, they didn't actually follow one of them

To me that approach goes against the original principles for agile, especially "Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools". I'm not a huge fan of highly structured Agile and scrum processes. But I think the best agile implementations come when teams have ownership over their own agile processes.

And if the team truly has ownership they are responsible for their success or failure. Sure, their process may be objectively bad, but that doesn't mean a better process should be imposed from outside of the team. The team should have some level of trust to fix it.

I also disagree with your three points being hard requirements. They may be really good suggestions for teams doing scrum, especially in lower trust environments. All three are specifically for scrum, for instance they lose meaning if you aren't doing sprints. But that's just arguing semantics. Fixing compromised scrum isn't strictly necessary if the team can be successful by dropping scrum.
> Seems overkill since plan is to execute the plan we discussed in the sprint. So, why do we need to remind everyone daily that we're just following the plan?

It's the question whether we can adjust "things" to be able to reach the sprint goal. It's the goal that counts, not the way imho.

> Also, why are emails not a thing anymore?

Emails have their Pro's & Con's - I prefer them, but not everyone is able to be precise and on-point in written language. Also, you need to be able to express your feelings in written language. That's one of the reasons I use emojis even in emails. The ascii-ones, but still...

> I feel like we're not talking about the elephant in the room here and finding ways to justify stand ups or scrum or whatever.

Well, I can see the elephant. But people have different opinions on this topic - something you need to accept.

That's what companies developing SMRs aim to do. For instance NuScale has a design using up to 12 modules of 77 MWe each in a separate stainless steel lined concrete pools of water. The modules are quite innovative and incorporates passive safety features such as natural circulation, redundant passive decay heat removal, gravity driven safety systems.

I think OP’s just trying to say that we’re the vocal minority - Google has literally billions of users yet HN gets ten million or so unique monthly viewers[0] (my estimate from 2015 stats).
