You know what, you got me there. Cloudflare is free at any time to add "don't bully people into committing suicide" to its list of rules, at least that way the rule can be applied fairly instead of in a reactionary way.
Well, it depends. I have seen many teams where retrospectives are basically a lot of personal mea culpas, people talking about what they did not do right, and it was mostly about how they should have done things differently rather than how the process or organisation could be adapted. The overall feeling is that agile works great, scrum works great, so if something went wrong it's because of the human factor and that's what should be fixed...
I don't know about communism, but at some places the implementation of agile sounds like a regime.
Agile lives and dies by communication. Both amplitude and SNR matter, and have always been present in the proper ratios in the best engineering.

Agile is very open to attack when it veers from a list of useful practices to try out in a given context and instead turns into dogma.
Yeah, and when you add kernel TLS to the mix, you can handle the certificate part of TLS termination in a guarded user/process, which never needs to touch HTTP headers.
The sales team sells what has already been delivered.

In my experience, the customer collaboration happens through a proxy called the product manager. It is their job to hold meetings with customers to figure out priorities.

You don’t “prevent” feature creep ever. It is part and parcel of development. You can, however, manage it by restricting when the goalposts change. In Scrum, that’s at sprint boundaries. The most important bit is that the customer chooses priority but the developers choose velocity.

Cool, those are great things that are explicitly not “working at a gas station”.

Regarding SFO, "The SFO BART Station is located on the Departures/Ticketing Level of the International Terminal (Boarding Area G side)." - it is located at the airport (you need to take AirTrain from other terminals, though).

Not sure why connection to Caltrain matters, as BART itself has about 7 times more daily raiders and connects to more places.

Senior management in a lot of places is by now trained and groomed to see everything as a process, so principles don't cut it.

Similarly, consultancies need to sell "products", i.e. implementable processes and change, so again principles are a problem.

Lastly, in a lot of places the actual users or product owners from the business side are only involved via representatives, so there is no closed loop to run.
It seems to me that a secure OS would be an OS I wouldn't care to use. It would be so locked down that I couldn't really tinker with it.
Definitely agree with the spirit of the article. Favoring tool or anything without concrete reasoning is laziness in thinking. Note that this is different from choosing established convention for solving minor issues without much investigation. In cases of minor problems, the consensus is that they are simple enough to justify common tools, there is no process involving favoring tools or certain solutions in the process...
This is such a terrible idea.

When looking at log files you need to know which node is having a problem. It's also helpful to know what environment was responsible for a security alert at a glance. It's also helpful to know if the instance that is running is the same one that had the incident, or whether it's a brand new node and the old one is gone.

Naming servers the same name loses a ton of valuable information and provides almost no benefit. It is just inviting people to make mistakes, and creating a nightmare for your noc/soc and siem response teams.
Thats one methodology. My parents on the other hand told me to get an education first and worry about a career later. I got a philosophy degree and have never regretted that decision.
Sure, but organizing code in files is one of the most important parts of programming!
Using story points for evaluating developers goes against the ideals of Agile. It also makes story points useless. See Goodhart’s law.
This is how I see agile too. With it’s links to lean, it’s about minimising waste by minimising work in progress. Since the biggest waste is building something no-one wants, getting a small increment into the hands of a user/customer as soon as possible is key.

The problem, in my experience, is many development contracts are still structured in such a way that this becomes too difficult. Management fearing early exposure to the customer will lead to scope creep and cost growth.
It's a bit more than that. I always respected cl for their simple clean design.

But then the internet evolved. On one side prostitution and trafficking became rampant, on the other scammers and spammers. And CL did nothing until court ordered.

Sometimes that's the right decision. But legitimate people suffered through all of it, and left for the first possible replacement.
I don't think he assumed that. He just said the conversations need to happen, not necessarily with parents.

People should have and understand a plan for repaying a loan. Of course, the hard question is how can we make this happen?
I've seen Agile at a handful of shops, a couple dozen projects. I've seen it implemented well just once...

The "scrum master" was a dedicated role, filled by a technically able person, who sometimes helped a little bit with the coding. This individual had read several books and taken a course on Agile. They were sincerely passionate about Agile and wanted to implement it effectively.

The "project manager", a DIFFERENT PERSON was part of the "business", and interfaced primarily with the scrum master, but they were with us for several hours of both planning and retro.

Our sprints were 2-3 weeks. At the end of the sprint, we spent AN ENTIRE DAY on retro. Before the next sprint started, we spent AN ENTIRE DAY on planning. We used a physical board which was matched by the tracker. They were kept in sync by individuals and validated by the DEDICATED DOCUMENTATION PERSON.

We broke down the tasks relentlessly, until there were almost no 3-point tasks, maybe one or two 5-point tasks, and everything else was 1-pointers. I think this one is the most bang for your buck, lowest hanging fruit, easiest to implement winner. Someone has to enforce it vigilantly until everyone is used to it.

Those three things are, IMNSHO, the keys to getting halfway decent Agile going.

Edit: Was one of the least soul-crushing and nicest experiences in professional software development. The planning meetings were a serious effort, but also a pleasure because I liked everyone on the team, and the large time windows made it not seem rushed, so we had time to joke around and shoot the shit.

It would be really interesting to know how many of these products have squeezed competitors out of the market before being axed. More than a few I bet.
well it seemed a bit funny that he used to bash apple while he worked at google and now that he works at microsoft he bashes both apple and google. in all cases he leaves his current employer out of the criticism.
That is the theory, except on the customer side you actually need the people that will use the product.

Usually what happens is that you get a customer team, that is supposed to voice how the organization wants the software to be.

So the same mismatch is bound to happen anyway.

And when they do involve the people from the field, depending on the company culture, they might even be quite positive on the demos (cause being negative isn't good) and then completely find it unusable on final delivery.

Agile misses that many engineering teams lack people skills to actually navigate and avoid these scenarios.

EDIT: several typos

I think Apple (Computers) can't be compared with organic food because Apple's business and operations model implies that everything is protected intellectually with patents.

Protecting your manufacturing process via patents implies that "people at the side of the road" don't know how to make it. Otherwise the patent would be nullified.

To stay with the metaphor I think we'd have to classify Apple (Computers) as a processed food manufacturer and not the same was as organic food, and also not as something that other people can easily grow themselves in their backyard.

That would be probably something like a USB cable or maybe a touchpad or something, but even that far outreaches the knowledge of the general population that are not specialized in the area. Planting a seed and taking care of a plant to grow it, is pretty much doable by a child in comparison.
I understand that your comment is facetious, but I think there may be something to this line of thinking. Men are more likely to follow through with their actions, due to immense social pressure for success. Even if that success is killing yourself, I think a lot of men would rather a successful attempt than an unsuccessful, just to avoid the shame of failing at something so serious.

Something I've wondered about art and traditions that predate Islam, is how many of those spiritual and material traditions were appropriated or assimilated into Islam and have survived for centuries by becoming mainstream. e.g. Christmas - the tree, the 3 days of the solstice relating to the resurrection, it was a long time before it became common knowledge that those "Christian" traditions pre-date Christ, right? So what ancient history is staring us in the face because we've been calling it Islamic all this time?

By far their biggest threat is students studying at foreign universities. I would have thought this is the number one issue to address, perhaps they can't yet.
The thorny issue is that your 3 examples might reduce that girl's chances on the dating market, so it might even be reasonable for her relatives to attempt to support her in obtaining a high quality partner.

I'd say the critical part wrt suicides is not that people are competing for attention from the opposite sex, because that has been around for a million years. The critical new aspect is that people are now grossly underestimating their relative standing. And that's because social media makes the one pretty outlier actress from the other side of the globe feel personal and acessible, which tricks us into treating them like a valid comparison point even though most high school girls will never need to compete against a Hollywood actress on looks, because the latter one is unavailable to all of her male classmates anyway.
Just as Science was adopted as the official religion of the Government, lucky bastard.
The money is taxed when individuals finally get it, assuming they are US residents or citizens and earn above the minimums required to pay taxes. Corporations don't need to pay taxes at all in theory; it just double-taxes the same income and leads to the govt adjusting rates accordingly to achieve the same outcome (e.g., avoid driving corporations overseas with an uncompetitive high tax regime, which the US currently has).

You are confusing physical blocks (i.e. flash memory) with logical blocks (i.e. filesystems).

> People are choosing suburbs based on costs. The aver person has little ability to choose based on any other reason.

That's quite a wide unsubstantiated generalization.

Tons of people have no interest in living in a tiny apartment in a tall building and will happily pay extra to move to the suburbs to avoid that.

This is possibly a perfect example of a faulty/unwarranted generalization.

I do enterprise consulting for a couple of years, the kind of organisations that buy Oracle or MSDN licenses without thinking twice about it.

The best I have seen were mini-silos that managed to de-couple themselves from the org chart.

However I also have seen that it hardly lasts more than a couple of years, because as soon as someone noticed the success of the business unit they were re-integrated so that they could teach the reasons for their success to others.

You can imagine how well did they usually fare afterwards.
My PM does know more than me. And he's good at directing where the team should invest it's efforts. That's why he's my PM.

You seem to have completely missed my point, which is that technical leads and PMs should have domain knowledge and that this is why DevOps is not in danger of failing at competent companies.
Actually I always considered marketing as a type of hacking. Figuring out what consumers want (features, appearance, feelings, etc) and tweaking how you talk about your product to create them.
It’s an internal product/feature promotion. It’s uncool to title the post and word the complaint (thereby attracting enough rage-votes to get onto the front page) by making the impression that they’re still running pre-roll video ads before the videos you watch.

The issue you’re complaining about is a relatively very minor inconvenience, and they would reasonably argue it’s helpful to make users aware of new features.
Don't talk to me about pre-OSR2.

I can recall being very frustrated going into Fry's with my scholarship stipend circa 1999. The K6-2/400 and mainboard I wanted ended up costing another $100 because I needed to buy Win98SE; the Win95 retail release I had features the famous "K6-faster-than-350MHz" fault, and this was not fixed except for late OSRs.

It seems like until we got to NT_based consumer Windows, they had no real concept of service pack level updates.
This sounds a lot worse than it actually is… if you have worked at one if the major cloud operations (azure, aws, or gcp) this is nothing. We are 24/7 orgs by definition, work is happening globally, we have on-call etc, region turn ups or disaster drills in inconvenient timezones. This is what it is at the cloud IaaS level.

I'm not playing the "Microsoft ux team knows best! " game anymore. This will effectively end Windows as a viable desktop for me. I have 3+ decades of muscle memory and a layout I like. It's more than inconvenient, it means months of my computer not behaving in the way I expect, in ways that I have specifically set up according to my preferences and needs. There's a lower threshold of pain in moving to Linux, and no rent seeking garbage ux teams to get in my way.
These kinds of anecdotes are why I come to this site.
Due to the sponsoring of this video by Waymo, I have difficulty giving credibility to its content. Veritasium is (was? ;) ) a channel in search for/highlighting truth through exploration of science based concepts (or something to that extent). It's even in the name. Conflict of (commercial) interest is always a red flag, whether in scientific publishing, journalism, or politics. Given that this video talks about personal safety of a daily activity partaken by billions everyday and tries to influence viewers to regard the sponsored technology as safe, I find it quite frankly unethical - regardless of how convincing the arguments put forth in the video, or a personal testimony by the maker on their integrity and intentions. It would be better to just stay clear of it.
This is (IMHO) the biggest single miss in most attempts to be "Agile". The customer/end user is supposed to be embedded in the team, doing actual work with the program, raw and hacky as it may be. This way the feedback is immediate and accurate. Passively watching smoke and mirror demos once every sprint is a far cry from this.

Of course, this isn't applicable/possible for all types of software (you can't really iterate your way to an MVP nuclear reactor) but there's less of this than you'd think.
I have some nostalgia feelings while looking at this website design. It even has an now very old powerbook g4 on the main page.
So everyone is not getting a more secure/safe system because a small minority wants to run Linux on old computers?
That does not sound fair to me. Why can't they not use old versions of Linux as well.
> The fundamental problem with Agile

This is not what the article is about. If you look at the Agile Manifesto, it says e.g.

- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Responding to change over following a plan

What you get in quite a few big companies following "Agile" with the air quotes is the opposite:

- Processes and tools over individuals and interactions
- Following (and making) a plan over responding to change

Because that's what makes middle management happy.

So this perversion of "Agile", which is actually the opposite of Agile, is the FUNDAMENTAL problem.
>I interpret reality as though it's a low budget teen movie
This sounds soul-crushing and I hope never to work in such an environment.
It depends where you are. In most countries there are KYCs to buy a sim card (post 9/11 regulation). So if you don't buy it physically you'll have to do the process online.

I was brought up in rural environment and education was very less competitive untill I finished 12th. When I got into city into a private engineering college with much high fees and hostel cost, everything in education also felt rushed and sub-optimal.

Nobody has the incentive to teach properly. But until I entered the big college, the pretentiousness of 'heavy' education (which is basically making us grunt work because the professors are relatively very unskilled
) and associated stress was low.

And that's one of the "top" colleges of the state. Professors couldn't properly write a java program using threads or collections and had the audacity to tell us to write every program two times __on fucking paper__.

This country's education system is pretentious AF. The institutions are mostly incentivized to sell snake oil to rich urban parents. The urban parents are pushing their kids into a rat race.

Edit: sorry for venting out here.
I'm sorry, why are you talking about Apple ? The posted article is about every desktop OS, that includes for instance Linux or hobbyist OSes
That being said, non technical PM always turned to be bad. Theoretically they don't need knowledge, but practically they do and it shows.
The vast majority of software is not for flywheel type situations.

For internal customers or in B2B settings getting the actual users and outcome owners involved early is vital - but they are often poorly incentivized to get into the action as there are layers of business mangers etc in place that are supposed to stand in (but lack the detailed knowledge).
Check out NPTEL - it's Khan Academy, but by the government. Don't know about other streams, but for Engineering, it has IIT Professors teaching the lectures.
In your analogy your implication would be that the software engineer should spend their effort in the corporate boardroom arguing for changes in product requirements rather than in fixing bugs in the current product.
I once spent a couple of months teaching at a for-profit tutoring centre (not in China). These were 'review' classes teaching tips and tricks to help students do well on university entrance exams.

I felt dirty doing it as the only students who could afford to attend were from well-off families, and I felt that the (albeit probably small) edge gained by these students might mean someone else more deserving would not be offered a uni placement.
