Just let me get a job working with computers
SOMEONE out there must be using computers to do computing and not 99 abstractions!

@PizzaFacts2go There's a famous paper called "GOTO Considered Harmful" that basically ruined an entire part of programming, and so now if you're a nerd you make a blogpost called "Thing I hate Considered Harmful"

I dunno, I wrote the copy at 9 am, I guess I was trying to apologize to followers, do you want me to proofread >-1 times?
Probably, I'm still confused about who's the narrator and who's the "douchebag". I thought they were one and the same but the writing makes it ambiguous for me.
Oh! The narrator is a theoretical person running the social experiment
That's why I changed it to be "My Name Is Not Atom Jones" to make that a little clearer

Yeah, but power IQ and stuff. The power supply has logic to specify how much to put out. Because Reliable™ Technology™
One thing I like about my Burning Wheel game is how my PCs get asked by a bandit they own a favour to to disrupt a meeting. And he's like "Hey, stop these people from making a deal by an means necessary!" and the PCs were like "Any means eh?". And then the Bandit gives them a bomb, and the PCs are like "OOOOOOOH you meant violence"

I totally did read it that way and immediately think of that Babylon 5 episode

I once had the one in a lifetime opportunity of leaving a team using an abominable combination of scrum, kanban and general, misc "agileness"
How do people jive the idea of propagating as many tickets as possible, and the ideas of tickets as documentation?

Give your developers Chromebooks running Linux
Make sure that they build using CI and are using a browser that's more painful to use than your users

When developing something I expect others to use, I always want to make sure it'll run nicely on a potato. Modern software tends to be very wasteful of resources.
It helps that I don't run top-of-the-line equipment myself.

@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal Did these people buy a rare book and they think they own the rights to create a dune tv show?
@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal They think nobody ever made jodorowsky's dune because.... What nobody could find these missing production bibles? Were they stolen by raiders? Do they think Alejandro Jodorowsky didn't make his adaptation because the book got stolen?
@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal I joined their discord so i could make fun of them... They have a bot that has to approve you to see all the sections. To get the bot to approve you, you have to react to a specific post. Discord has a hard limit on reactions per post and that post has reached it.
@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal two questions
are these just smart contracts that collect money then place a bid?
does that mean fucking christie's has some sort of API or whatever to collect bids from crypto weirdos?

@PizzaFacts2go @ValpalCoolGal So I don't know
For the Constitution it was just a wallet that collected money without any underlying logic or contract and said it wouldn't be evil
It did refund people, but most people lost all the refund as gas

Cryptocurrency is the best webdev project
You take something that works, and replace it with something slower, less easy to use, uglier, that takes more power
That's basically their whole purpose

Using Archive.org to figure out what the devs are doing because the comments have apparently been there a while
One thing about time tracking and using scrum and stories I am noticing is that they create secret knowledge
Because people are discouraged from solving problems (especially minor ones) without a card, there's friction to solving minor problems, and so you build secret knowledge

I have yes.
In my situation though, we have strong engineering management as well as domain experts that aren't business people, so the business folks have to take somewhat of a back seat.
What you're talking about is a common problem, I'm just saying that there's a different way and that overly powerful PMs are a sign of problems.

I think the problem I am having is that you seem to be focusing on Agile-In-Theory and not Agile-In-Practice.
I am glad you have a great employer, but I have not seen one in any of the several places I've worked.

The "state inaction on a problem" to "individual responsibility" pipeline
Started using Delta.chat ( @Delta Chat ) this morning and I am hella impressed so far. I am feeling a little "who needs XMPP!" but also a little "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to reimplement it badly over HTTP" and I don't know which impulse is winning
