I've spent the last 25 years writing enterprise applications. 10 or so years ago the sdlc became "Dark Scrum" where all the trappings of scrum, expectations of waterfall and non of the prep work of waterfall. It's an interesting system where management can demand anything and then blame the devs for any and all problems that occur because "we didn't follow the process". Recently I've been given a larger management role and kind threw the entire process out of the window. Baby, bathwater, all of it. And just went with a basic kanban style. We try to do one thing at a time and a lot of my time is spent keeping a backlog that is estimated and prioritized. We have a standup type of call on Monday and Thursday for no more than 5 minutes. (we're a 100% remote team now, so no office)

Yeah, I've got a lot of sisters.

One time I was out walking someplace and a woman was walking about 20 feet in front of me. I just took out my phone and called my wife and rather loudly announced where I was walking to, asked her about her day etc. The woman visible seemed to relax.

I think the people should boycott all headlines with slams in the title. Unless it's about professional wrestling.

KDE plasma, unless it's on a tablet, then Gnome

Love that series.

Atlas Shrugged... But not in the way most people would think. I was raised very conservative. Growing up people always talked about how great of an author Ayn Rand was. But when I finally read some of her books, they made me sick. It kind of opened my eyes to how the political beliefs I was given as child clashed with my own personal values.

Honestly, Debian 12 bookworm with the KDE package is pretty damn solid. It's all I need for my desktops.

I was raised Mormon. Finally left in my 40s.

So Al Green got booted from the room. Interesting.

I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don't have to store or return anything.

The only surprising thing is that Moscow mitch voted with the democrats.
