Risk: team size is too small to move fast, and Zig is not yet well adapted.
Opportunity: more people would learn zig.

[Jarred Sumner @jarredsumner]

We are getting > 50 issues per day and our team is currently 7 people. Really need to hire more engineers. Strong C/C++ or Zig background required

Rails is good for prototyping, but lacking of type information is bad when the team grows.

[Alec Chernicki @alecchernicki]

Hulu is actually now almost entirely built with @nextjs in TypeScript. Type safety has helped us as our engineering team has grown to hundreds of developers.

@vercel always do things fast 👍🏻

[Vercel @vercel]

Vercel now supports Bun install with zero configuration.

Use react query for sever state for sure. For the client state, @jotaijs is a great option in addition to redux.

[Cory House @housecor]

Problem: I'm working in an app that uses both Redux and React Query. React Query responses are copied into the Redux store. The app is buggy because it has 2 sources of state on every page: Redux and React Query. It reads and writes to these 2 spots inconsistently.

Solution: Pick *one* global state management system.

Store each piece of data in *one* spot.

Just did a quick test of Bun 1.0 on Create T3 App vs pnpm

pnpm: 27.23s
Bun: 0.35s

Story Points don't work.

Even Ron Jeffries, who invented them, said he was sorry years ago.

And not only did he apologize, but he called the whole estimation idea "Evil."

Unfortunately, too many teams still use these points to estimate their work.

Story Points is a made-up metric to estimate work effort, not time. The goal was to prevent management from misusing estimates.

But it didn't work.

Every team I've ever met keeps a conversion table to translate back and forth between points and time. Some will never admit it, but go and talk to the folks doing the work.

Look at me and tell me I'm wrong.

But it gets worse:

Teams use points to decide how much work they can finish. But how can they do that without talking about time?

The effort to do something is not the same as the time it will take to finish it. This is especially true when planning an iteration with many people and tasks.

It's clear now: Story Points don't work.

What's the alternative?

I'll let the people who manage projects for a living offer their alternatives, but I can tell you what I've done.

As I got older and wiser, I stopped with the estimation charade altogether. I had my teams focus on short iterations with constant feedback from stakeholders.

From the "scope, budget, and time" triangle, I always tried to keep two of them variable and fix the third one.

If the customer was looking for a specific scope, we had a variable timeline and budget to finish it. We kept the scope and time flexible if the budget was non-negotiable. And if we had to deliver by a specific date, the scope and budget were on the table.

Every company is different, and this doesn't work for everyone. But if it does, I hope you stop the charade.

I'd love to hear about your experience estimating software. What crazy things does your company make you do?
