@gnut00@joey_harmon93@SStricklandMMA can you even call it a sacred text then? If it's ok for society to pick and choose what makes sense, it really doesn't sound like a very sacred thing
@caiocgomes Eu fiz um programinha num hackathon pra calcular como fazer seu offset de carbono no ano em termos de horas de vôo de jato particular de bilionário. Se o Bill Gates topar reduzir só 20 horas de vôo no ano (foram ao total 600 horas em 2022) eu viro Carbon-neutral!
@pmddomingos Certainly, something like Amazon could not have happened in Europe. There's too much legislation to prevent slave labor. There's no way to keep that exponential growth if you're not allowed to treat people as cheap cogs in your machine
@larianstudios@NeilNewbon So many games over promised and under delivered. This was the first case in a long long time of game that built very high expectations and still managed to surpass those!
@Cardoso Então, não dá pra negociar ou esperar civilidade de uma organização terrorista. Mas de um estado soberano dá sim.
Assim como o atentado da Al Qaeda não justifica os EUA terraplanar o Afeganistão, o atentado do Hamas também não justifica a limpeza étnica na Palestina.

-qual era o carro que seu pai te levava pra escola?
-então, meu pai...
-não, responde. que carro era?
-não é uma resposta simples
-qual era o carro que seu pai te levava pra escola?
-ok. nos anos 80, meu pai tinha um Rolls-Royce

@mitsuhiko honestly, I prefer that to the abomination of a framework that desperately crams async everywhere to solve problems that are initially architectural rather than language related. If rust can stop fastAPI, I'm becoming its biggest fan today!
BREAKING: In a shocking new interview, Twitter owner Elon Musk blames his transgender daughter’s “communist” $50,000 a year Los Angeles private school for the fact that she “doesn’t want to spend time” with him no matter how hard he tries.
But Elon Musk didn’t stop there…
Musk told a biographer that his estranged daughter was brainwashed into “thinking that anyone rich is evil” at the ritzy California school he sent her to.
The CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, washed his hands of any responsibility for the recent rift between himself and 19-year-old Vivian Jenna Wilson — his trans daughter who changed her name in order to erase any connection to him — instead blaming the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica for infecting her with the “woke mind virus.”
According to the biographer, Wilson’s transition was part of a “domino effect” that led to Musk buying the social media app as part of “his mission to stomp out wokeness.”
Musk told the biographer that he was okay with his daughter’s transition until she “became a fervent Marxist and broke off all relations with him.”
Musk, whose net worth is estimated at $258 billion, says that she “went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil.”
According to the biographer, Musk felt that Twitter “had become infected by a similar mindset that suppressed right-wing and anti-establishment voices.”
Of course, Musk conveniently left out the fact that, by unbanning tens of thousands of previously banned neo-nazi accounts, he turned Twitter into X, a cesspool of far right, transphobic bigotry and hatred — and that Musk himself has posted and reposted dozens of blatantly transphobic attacks.
This new interview provides a dark glimpse into Musk’s motivations for buying Twitter and turning into into hate-filled X. Perhaps if he had been a better, more accepting father, his trans daughter wouldn’t have disowned him — and he wouldn’t have felt the need to buy Twitter and run it into the ground just to stop “wokeness.”
Please retweet and ❤️ to expose Elon Musk — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
In 16 years developing software professionally, never have I ever been on a team who could look me too n the eye and say "our current speed is x points per sprint" or who weren't trying to tackle problems of overcommiting or under commiting for a sprint.

Scrum is a cancer.
I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does.
Some anecdotes:
1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game.
2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing.
3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.
4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.
5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.
6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points."
7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this.
8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously.
9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind.
I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile.
We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it.
The result was always the same: It didn't work.
Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control.
But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team."
Sure it is.
