Hell to the yes. Is how.
I thought that went without saying, but I have now made a note of it.
”We moved from waterfall sign-offs to continuous integration. We can move them again.”
Ugh, what? Move it where? Back to waterfall? What?!
I’m so confused Sam.
Ah, well I respect that! Hope I don’t pile on here.
That’s just it right? There isn’t really a golden solution, because I’ve definitely worked with/on teams where the backlog has really worked, but that came down to the team members being just excellent humans I think, not the process itself.
I don’t have a good solution to this mind you, so I’m really curious if there are any takeaways or actual practical applications of ”things to do” as opposed to ”things to say”.
The real challenge lies in identifying the most critical tasks that truly matter, while simultaneously managing and addressing other planning or refinement sessions, requests for updates, syncs, and the need to actually work, review the other 15 LLM-generated PRs that have been released.
Looking forward to this one. As I have strong opinions here.
The backlog is a lie. A safety net we tell ourselves represents the upcoming world. A ”groomed” backlog, or whatever - is mostly for anyone that isn’t a an engineer, and even then it barely gets read, even less now with LLMs.
I know I can dismissing by tapping but, I don’t know. So far not a fan? Will need to give it a longer whirl though.
I do seem to make fewer mistakes while typing?
Hover typing in iOS is already infuriating because it positions itself on top of the UI element that you need in order to send the message.
”Luckily” BlueSky has that button on the top right, so not an issue in that regard, but it hides character count - so I’m guessing right now. Made it.
That feeling when your kid is getting a steadily rising fever on a Sunday evening.
Desperately* obviously.
But I’m also desperate.
Photo of a young man taking a selfie in a mirror, wearing what is supposed to be a fan T-shirt of the classic movie Alien, with the tag line: ”In space, no one can hear you scream.”. The image is in a collage with the left side showing the full image and the right side showing a zoomed in version of the T-shirt. Above the photo is a text that reads: ”PSA do NOT buy an Alien shirt from Temu because wtf is this” Upon closer inspection of the second zoomed in frame, it’s clear the shirt actually reads: ”ALAN in space, nobody can hear you in space”
I can’t stop giggling about this. My wife has excellent taste in internet memeage.
Perfection.
I also desperate want this shirt.
The rules about being nice don’t apply to myself about myself. But I am trying to work on that.
Thanks. This has been my Ted Talk.
And yes this is an oxymoron. But that’s because I’m a moron.
Mind you, this doesn’t mean we all have to get along - that would be boring, but it also doesn’t mean you get to be a complete ass against others either.
So. I guess what I’m saying is:
Can’t we all just, get along?
Remember when we were all excited about stuff? I miss that. Don’t you?
Hey software gang. You know what’s cool and fun? Writing software, learning things, sharing that learning and new ideas with others.
How about we don’t judge people for how they decide to do those things and instead just keep being fun, and respectful peers?
Sam. I need to see you in my office. Right away.
I commented the same thing. Made me all giddy.
Oemotståndligt!
The absolute glee that comes across in this video, coupled with the nerdy proudness is *chefs kiss* bravo sir, bravo. 👏
Next stop: clothing brand for hardware / software engineers.
And a Morris Chang bust?
And the inverse, but that also plays a pitch perfect bald eagle screech every time it converts.
Oh, you are too kind! My hope is I managed to get some more people passionately into careers in technology. I’ve been trying to snoop around but the alumni-group on LinkedIn seems… dead?
I just wish I could’ve kept you on for longer. Looks like they sure as heck figured the money part though 😅.
This website, contains a record of every single lecture I held, live-streamed and recorded, including their course material and all the assignments I made.
Warts and all but man, I can’t believe I found the time to do this, and this is before LLMs kids!
Still a bit proud of this.
Context for anyone curious:
I used to run a vocational school in Stockholm, basically by myself for a long bit, teaching, being headmaster, administrator and well - everything.
I had wonderful people help out, one of which was @crisfduran.bsky.social who basically saved me from burning out.
Oh my word @crisfduran.bsky.social, look what I found:
This just made my day, knowing this lived somewhere. I honestly thought all that work was lost. To the sands of time. 🥹
That pro-tip made me feel so seen, and observed at the same time 😅😬.
*noticed the flip-board like animation of each number*
Nice. *nods* Very nice.
