Having experienced a miscarriage personally, I can tell you it is not the same as losing a child. On the other hand, being a parent, I firmly believe that if my child needed to ter…

please stop using the phrase unborn child. We don’t call eggs unborn chickens. This whole pro life concept is bull$h!t.By that definition, every miscarriage should have a funeral a…

Thanks for the clarification. I have indeed misinterpreted your previous comment

That is far a better use of resources than to actively promote hate against transgender, gay, women, and other marginalized groups, and now doctors and nurses too - a sad trend in …

I’m afraid I disagree… 30 pages for mortgage, and then all the terms of service for the software services that you use, plus the credit cards, websites visited and so on… this beco…

That’s part of the problem… everything can’t be reduced to if-then-else; situational awareness, perspective, nuance and understanding are completely missing. In this case, how help…

Sadly humanity is susceptible to hate - it is so easy to vilify a marginalized group for cynical power grabbing

People are idolized, their accomplishments embellished, and their shortcomings overlooked when they are in positions of power and prestige. Often times the role of sheer luck, cron…

Fired due to clerical error! That’s a new one, and quite motivating for the employee who is no longer fired.

> commentator on twitter put it well saying "It felt like we all lost our Grandmother" This is a nice, soft and mushy comment that will gather likes and retweets. It also influence…

Why? I don't get it

This is exactly what I would not want my team to suffer. They need to feel inspired, and those who are not inspired will know it themselves, and so will everyone they work with. I …

In my experience, metrics are a giant waste of time for engineers and engineering managers. Project managers and folks who depend on the fruits of engineering labor on the other ha…

Indeed. This is the best description of the conundrum of Agile I have read so far

What is a scrum master expected to do? Not being sarcastic here, I am genuinely curious

When it comes to money, the person footing the bill will get pushy rather fast. So I am curious how such a process works closer to the business side of the project, even in a big o…

I understand that 30 years of experience has to count for something, and maybe some people are fortunate enough to be able to work in an environment that is devoid of all the polit…

Software used to be built before Agile... Let's at least keep solution design and also get senior engineers to help estimate And do away with daily stand up and bs rituals.. a meet…

This is not how it works in real life. Contracts are made to the lowest bidder, there are promises to keep or heads will roll. By iteration 10, your customer is fuming that the hal…

Agile is bogus nonsense - there I said it.

I look at the outcome, and can certainly say that the tools I use find issues than I didn't know existed

Is your own code free of security vulnerabilities? Will you be able to identify and avoid issues with 3rd party libraries by reading their code, and the code of all the other libra…

Agile does not take reality into account. Estimates become deadlines and turn into death marches. The watering hole is poisoned and culture dies a painful death. That is because cu…
