I've also seen some instance where gatekeeper were pretty effective at filtering users demands because some of those requests were too dumb and the "paying" users were used to have everything they wanted, and because they "paid" the dev department, "they had to do everything they wanted".

Like asking for a 6months dev work to help them save 1 hour annually on an annoying task they had to do.
I worked at a big tech for many years and my team never managed to get Scrum working properly. Every year my team commits a delivering certain product/features at a very specific date (some sort of launch event), so we have to know very early in the year what's all the work required and report periodically whether project is on track. The deadlines are also always on the tighter end. The flexibility of Scrum becomes an issue in that case, because not everyone can deliver the same tasks at the same speed and without careful planning you can easily miss important deadlines.

At our company, We believe that the way you get to the objectives and result is immaterial. Some teams that are very IC driven, will not care about the process and but will be jet focussed on result. Some teams need structure, some don't. Enforcing same process on all the teams is kind of shackling, what ends up happening is that teams do process for the sake of it. Our teams have occasional alignment calls, team and individual OKRs, company objectives are the key indicators for the manager to see if the we are on track or not.
I suspect the prescriptivism and detail have one end goal and that is for someone that has no idea how software is done to follow the procedures. It also turns the process into an "almost predictable process" for the higher-ups to see turned into a graph in some ppt. You also have to deal with people who needs to be told which shoe to put in first before they think the process is "confusing".

Same reason for PMP, it's to turn the procedure into "paint by numbers". Of course it rarely works that easily.

But of course you can't justify the multiple middle-managers and why can't the people at the bottom just "turn the wheel faster" without it so there's a bit of purpose in that.

Tinnitus is an interesting state. I've had it for quite a time, having had loud car audio systems and attending rock concerts in my teen years. I've tried doing as you say and focusing on the noise. It does seem to be more noticeable when I focus on it, but I've never had the experience of it getting louder when I stop.

There is also the case of bleeding as a direct experiment one can do. Next time you cut yourself and suspect you may have some blood, try not looking at it (reduces the mentation/expectation of blood), and focus exclusively on the feeling of the pain as much as possible. You'll find the bleeding stops substantially faster.

Thanks for your response, yet i'm not sure if you've read my question thoroughly enough because i'm not seeing a response to the question i posed, which is concerned with lack of access to scientific literacy opportunities.
I use vim-markdown. It's not perfect, but does what I want. Generates a table of contents in a side window, from there I can jump to any heading by putting the cursor on the item and pressing RETURN. The TOC is indented to show heading level, so it serves as an outline. In the main window there are commands to jump to next or previous heading, sibling, heading of current section. It has concealing for bold, italic, and (this one is important) links. It syntax colors code blocks using the syntax file for the language in the block.

I'm making small changes to it, and actually have my own fork on GitHub with a change that I needed. But the developer doesn't seem to tend to it much.
That's a bit different. Haskell has arbitrary precision numeric types, which are commonly found as defaults in scripting languages and usually available as something like "BigInt" libraries or via gmp in C. But this article is talking about behavior when using machine types, not software numerics. Haskell offers types that expose machine integers, and I believe the behavior is truncate if you try to assign something outside of the representable range and wrapping on overflow. I have no idea if that is a standard or just what GHC chooses to do, though.

If you want something closer to what mathematicians are doing, you're probably looking for a computer algebra system, which just reduces symbolic expressions to their simplest form. At some point, you have to plug in actual numbers if you want a numeric output, but by doing it in the simplified representation, you at least avoid all the problems of overflow and truncation that might happen during intermediate computations. Whatever you're doing needs to have an analytic solution, though, and a whole lot of math problems don't. Nearly all of machine learning, for instance, so they'll take a different approach. Often what matters is relative magnitudes, not the exact values, so normalize inputs into a prescribed range you can represent. When dealing with probabilities that can potentially become infinitesimal as in something like language modeling, use log transformations instead, so you get numbers you can represent and you also get the benefit that addition is faster than multiplication.
I'm from Bulgaria and the article is pretty good for the most part. I'm from the so called "children of democracy" generation which is basically the first generation(s) after the communist regime fell in '89 (I was born in 1993).

One thing I have to say is that IT in Bulgaria succeeds right now not because of the government or some historical acumen, but despite of it. I think there might be some inertia from back then, but that's gone if we look things as of today. Taxes are low (relatively) to other EU countries, while the quality of work being done is very high. With that said Bulgaria is still mainly an outsourcing destination. There are some innovative homegrown companies like Chaos Group (creators of V-Ray) and others, but relatively to the size of the market they are few and far between.

I'm based in London now, but on my recent trip back a month ago I met with some ex-colleagues and we talked about how there's potentially a salary bubble forming. There are positions for new grads without any experience starting from 5000 BGN (2500 EUR) which is absolutely insane. Given that the average gross salary for Sofia (the capital and most well paid/expensive city in Bulgaria) is 1976 BGN[1] that's not normal. Another case was for a German company so desperate to find people that they paid a friend of mine net 6000 EUR a month as a front-end. That's even crazier. Companies like VMware that created big campuses pay around 7000-9000 BGN a month for devs (not seniors/team leads). You can live like a king with those kinds of salaries in Bulgaria, but you'll be surrounded by shitty infrastructure, non-existing government and all other types of shit that people like me that have left don't want to deal with.

I think the core observation that teams are best allowed to adapt to their own situation is a good one. One thing I want to take on though is this:

> “Kitchen sink teams” which have everything thrown at them, typically find that managing stakeholders with a heavyweight process like Scrum is a win. Stakeholders are educated to understand that an ongoing sprint cannot be interrupted and that new feature requests need to be groomed.

I have repeatedly see teams that run like this fail. They're happy in their own right, they've got their process, they get what is in front of them done, but the process makes them entirely unable (actually more often just unwilling) to respond to urgent issues or adapt to a changing environment.

It's absolutely great for a team that has a large number of external stakeholders with diverse needs to be able to point at some process and say "Oh well here's the process we follow, here's what you need to do". But in reality what they're saying is "We're entirely unable to respond to the actual requirements of our stakeholders, so instead we've decided there are only a subset of requirements we're going to fulfill" and anything outside those requirements you just have to work around the team. It very often also works to provide barriers between the stakeholder and the engineer, so by the time they tackle they're either doing the wrong thing, or it's no longer needed or they fail to actually deliver it to the stakeholder. It's a great system to build a well functioning team that entirely fails to deliver what the larger organisation needs. /rant over I guess
This is exactly spot on and my go-to approach as well. I always thought myself of a huge fan of DDD, simply because I think it makes so much sense to discuss the architecture directly with the stakeholders until everyone technical and nontechnical alike really agrees about the existence, relation and constraints of entities: By using common, ubiquitous language and just giving the same things the same consistent, common-sense names while giving different things different names.

It's a godsend for the top-down inside-out approach of requirements engineering that I like and teach.

Then I met some people the actual local DDD meetup group and was shocked that that part basically made up effectively zero percent of their discussion and the rest was taken up by talk about adapters, hexagonal architecture and all kinds of artificial design patterns that cultivate complexity and self-importance. I've been careful to call myself a DDD advocate ever since.

IMHO DDD went through the same unfortunate descent that Agile did: An originally really great idea and common-sense approach that went on to get bastardized into a cargo cult by coaches who like to produce sheets for BS bingo.
I'd take it as a complement, but I think that's a thing that comes with age.

> The idea an "agile enterprise" is intrinsically absurd. Teams are agile not companies

I’m really not sure what you are basing this on. Agile, as I’m familiar with it is framed in terms of lean management which is a well established approach to running business, exemplified by Toyota. Now you can debate the suitabilities of this and the effectiveness til the cows come home, just as you can with agile and scrum etc but it isn’t accurate to say that there aren’t a lot of businesses that aspire to the lean approach.
Scrum is like a global variable or a goto statement. If used carefully it could provide benefit but is often thought negatively. Used by untrained or junior team members and projects spiral. Senior members shy away because of experience.
An informed and empowered populace is a check against imperialism/colonization. Look at the opposition to the Vietnam war, for example. With the existence of the global internet, it has become much easier for citizens to track what their governments are doing. I think that we can decrease inter-country domination over time by pushing for more democracy and education worldwide.
I'm absolutely unable to give a reliable estimation so I use the "Duke Nukem Forever" method: when it's done.
I went down the rabbit hole of trying to work out what this is. In involves new coins and ICOs. I'll stick with Matrix and Signal.

"Session is enabled by services provided through the Loki blockchain network. The Loki cryptocurrency is a fundamental part of these services, providing an anonymous way to transfer value between people. A lightweight wallet integrated into the Session app, using keys derived from the users existing keypair, could allow users to quickly and privately transfer value inside Session."
Not what I was talking about. What you're describing is a great way to make your co-workers hate you (or make your subordinates hate working for you if you have any and you tolerate this style of communication) while telling yourself how clever you are for figuring out how to flip the script on the system. It's not clever at all. Anyone with a brain can see what's going on when you do it, and it shouldn't be permitted just because someone managed to make their barbs in subtext, rather than explicitly peppering in words like "fuck you." Not-clever toxic passive aggression is one of the worst contributions that office culture has "given" to modern society. And it's certainly not something that makes sense for someone to recommend weaponizing against one's family...

The practicality of telling people to fuck off means saying the equivalent of, "I need you to fuck off right now [so I can take care of something important without any distractions/obstructions]," ideally having cultivated the kind of relationship where the receivers understand that importance, whether it's stated plainly or merely implied.
Try that again with "cars". Clear positive to most people's lives, very very bad for some.

Another top review says (after giving it 1 star):

> Meandering, confused, and overall a waste of time, 'Subprime Attention Crisis' kicks up a big fuss but never lands the knockout blow it thinks it does.

Comparisons with the 2008 financial crisis are overblown. This is essentially a personal blog post blown up in size, and reveals nothing that isn't already widely appreciated. In the midst of this, Hwang also manages to demonize paywalls without offering an alternative to, well, pay for the internet. And no, 1930's law simply doesn't apply.

As an insider, I take issue with the gloss applied over the many people who are working to improve the ad industry. There are many companies that work for the betterment of ad tech. Citing 'explosive' blog posts on Ad Age or Digiday to the opposite effect is misleading — these reports are frequently created by competing companies shilling their own products.

Overall, the adage "nothing is as good or bad as it seems," is relevant to this. But the sweaty, Hawaiian-shirt wearing author got a little ahead of himself. Still, the cover is well done...
Yeah, I share the feeling.
Thanks :). Yes, it works on iPad, although currently only using the normal "iPhone App on iPad" compatibility mode.

Make sure to start the App while the iPad is in Portrait mode, we have a bug there that might else prevent you from tapping "Next" in the onboarding. This bug is fixed in 1.0.1, of which we're currently, let's say, experiencing [...] the App Store Review process (which is not always an easy one as some of you might know as well :). We hope to release 1.0.1 in a few days, as it includes some other bugfixes as well.

Internally, every large corporation in a capitalist system is a miniature Stalinist centrally-planned economy. The key differences are that (a) corporations are generally several orders of magnitude smaller than a state (hence, easier to plan for and amenable to real-time adjustments if the plan veers into the long grass), and (b) the corporation can dump overheads into the external state -- downsizing, for example. (If you try to reduce the head-count of a nation-state by 10% that tends to earn you a place in the history books, and not a good one.)

If you step down to an even smaller scale factor most families operate on a communal basis, with married/cohabiting adults holding shared assets and funds, contributing their earnings from external employment and disbursing in accordance with need -- a pattern that goes back into deep antiquity.

So the dysfunctional aspects of communism emerge when you scale it up too far -- which suggests to me that it's an information processing problem.

"There is some benefits to what you're proposing. My primary concern is cost. I see no technical difficulties with doing it <this other way>, and one of the benefits of that is that you'd have it ready in a tenth of the time. If I'm wrong, we can always change our minds and build it your way. That would barely take any additional time at all, since what I'm proposing is so simple to begin with.

"So, what do you say? Would you like to try to get it done by November, or should we labour over it until next June? If I understand the business figures right, if we can get it out in November, we'll make $6,000,000 more – and it would all be because you made the right technical decision here."

Then you take appropriate measures, or you don't. Compare it to regular diseases. If you have a history of cancer in your family, you would probably want to go on regular screenings. Or if your family has a history of suicide, perhaps you want to pay special attention when your kids are feeling depressed.
It is easier to deal when one considers alternative of returning to India. One can get a job in IT in some tech hub back home in India, However everything that people find commonly available in US/Canada for middle class or sometimes even lower than middle class is either not available or just reserved for 0.1 percent of ultra rich.

I have had distant relatives earning in tune of million dollars a year dying for a need of hospital bed. Plenty of people in India who are not Chinese level rich but still well-off and looking to move to Canada from India. They are not in hope of better earning but just better living standard with the money they earned in India.

Having said that there is thin slice of situations where one can be better off in India. One of which is having lot of domestic staff. So someone can have a full time worker at home who can cook, clean, and take care of kids for about same money that will get you a weekly maid service in USA in a month.

Can anyone make explicit some of the "various reasons" ES/CQRS are associated with DDD? This is confusing me.

You cannot get management buy-in to Scrum or most agile processes unless they can accept the agile manifesto principles.

The whole idea that you can be agile while having delivery dates for things several months in advance is a nonsense. Agile is about doing what is important now, not doing what we thought was important a few months ago.

The best you could probably hope for is Kanban or the never-ending backlog but some people struggle when there is no finish line, just an endless sea of work!

Github Issues, Linear, or ClickUp
So the key takeaway here is that the Plan, build(iterate), ship cycle works very well. Most successful teams stick to this. What is not clear to me is how an abrupt new feature with an urgent deadline fits into all this ? "We'll fit this into the next release cycle" is not an option, let's say.

So how do you fit in this new requirement ? You are already in the middle of a feature built on day 3 or 4. Devs are working on their forks and have uncommitted code. Now you have a new feature that has to be given priority, assuming there are no dependencies on the existing cycle. Do you just keep a copy of your old work, and start working on this new stuff ? Feels like a mess. Any better approaches ?
