I've installed it and I felt the same as what you mentioned :) Then I saw Goyo Vim plugin

that's exactly what I said and it's sadly not a joke :(

Some people like developers to estimate in story points based on complexity, some on estimated number of days. Managers or whoever asks for things to be estimated wants to establis…

I've always wondered, how did it come to this? isn't having a standup every day a 'process'?

ooh yeah, the industry is dogmatic about ill thought about so called agile principles. Nobody dare to question them it baffles me. I've been consulting for over 10 years, how come …

that's exactly my reluctance to question Agile processes, because people will think I am pushing it too far.

or do it from a plank position

I can't agree with this strongly enough also with the parent comment. I think it's the constant conflict between the 'maker schedule' and the 'manager schedule' I firmly believe th…

interesting to see this becoming part of the tools. In 2012, I was on project were we used a physical board, and we would make a black circle for everyday on the board and once we …

it absolutely makes no difference to me to have standups, yet still we participate in them... - To see who's working on what, I just look at the board. - To seek help when I get bl…

The anti-pattern in play here is that “the decision is in the hand of the least-informed” I believe technical decisions should be delegated by the “aware” manager to the team to ma…

I get it wrong every damn time. 16 years and counting.

Not really referring to these type of decisions, but things like "should we extract this into a service, instead of having it to live in the monolith?", "should we use this type of…

The IT industry is full of these type of roles, in all honesty and respect to everyone who's in any of these roles, what's the point? I find most if not all of these type of roles …

Yes, surely it's possible. But the resultant test is highly tightly coupled to the implementation of the SUT which gives the test more than one reason to change. We should strive g…

I love this. I started with trying to have simple, short and descriptive names for the test methods but then it doesn't work quite well with more complicated test cases. So I grew …

beware of the difference between simple and too simple though!

Well to me that sounds more of a process matters than a choice of technology. I use git day to day and before that used svn for a number of years. Now on the odd codebase, I tend t…

despite being old, I think the value lies in the "principle", you don't have to generate your code out of your markup but at least if you document your thoughts and reflect upon th…

I do this day to day, nice to see that there's a name for it :) Start every piece of work in a markdown with vim. and proceed to dump my thoughts, what I have tried, what did work …

statically compiled languages are a pain, let's use a dynamic one for this project!
