I hope the author means HTTPS, not HTTP - otherwise, I don't think this is a good idea. Anyway, as everything in software development: it all depends - serving a simple JSON over a…

Yeah, maybe, but I'm not the one who said "I hate them" or "they just sound so damn whiney" and did nothing to change it.

> I am trying to come up with a way to find profit in going against the grain, because I think this is the only way to drive change (or at least preserve my sanity). I know what yo…

All we talk about here is how to work with people. I'm sorry, but you strike me as more of a talker than a doer, I hope I'm wrong.

LOL, just name your stories accordingly and move "as a user I want to" part to description. Haven't you raised that easy-to-fix issue with your team members?

One thing to add in favor of user stories: they have very broad audience - basically every non-technical person will understand it, which is very useful if the domain is specific a…

I suspect that this approach might not be the best fit for more "fluent" projects as you are unable to reevaluate how things should work until the whole feature is finished, but th…

A user story is good exercise for less technical people to grasp what developers need to know before starting development: - they are easy to understand as everyone is familiar wit…

What you've said is very true, but implementing it depends heavily on the client. The fundamental rule of agile is that business needs to participate in software development on dai…

I wouldn't use "them" in this sentence, Mozilla is non-profit organization, but Gecko is open source - anyone is free to send them patch. The problem is that development in this en…

> Also, please review the HN guidelines. Yeah, I know, you downvoted me, I don't mind, enjoy yourself. But, again, to the point (because you still missing mine): I don't argue libr…

I thought I was talking to an intelligent person - do you understand that "necessary" is totally different category than "nice to have"? What's the point of having libraries if the…

I repeat: public safety is THE reason why we organize in countries, so police, army, justice system is in COMPLETELY different category - it is something essential, the rest is dis…

I have suspicion you haven't read my first comment in this thread.

Like you said: it's the matter of opinion, public safety, though, is not.

Arguably, cities need public transport in from of a metro even more than stadiums, yet, the first underground railway was completely private enterprise.

How did you get from stadium to police? The whole idea why people organize themselves in countries is to ensure internal and external safety and thus that everyone pay taxes for po…

I remember times where free market and private enterprises were huge part of American culture. I miss those times, bloody socialists are going to ruin everything.

Well, encourage socialistic views, there will be more tax money to "help" those organizations.

Are you talking the country that gained its wealth from years of capitalism and centuries of colonialism? Yep, it will fail soon, like it always do.

> Maybe it's not that the government doesn't have power, but more like the government's power has become a tool for the rich and their corporations due to their larger influence. T…

> This capitalism you're talking about is an imaginary construction. It never existed, never will. I hope you understand that we are referring to models there, right? Your point th…

More taxes = more power to people who decide how tax system is designed (there are many, many examples where big companies get away with literally not paying taxes) More money to r…

Funny, but we are in an adult conversation now, you can't ignore facts with just some joke. Grow up.

That's my point - there would be never a discussion about saving bankers in 2008 if there was capitalism, capitalism rejects ANY intervention into free market (except maybe anti mo…
