@vfsglobalcare The eVOA for Thailand site looks broken and I can’t proceed with my application. Can you please report it to the team and me know if this is going be fixed? Thanks
People who can just sit at home chilling in jeans unnerve me. Why are you in denim under a blankie on the sofa? Why aren't you in sweats or jimmyjams like a normal person? Get cosy you silly goose, you deserve to be cosy
When the USA and allies stood against Ukraine war, I thought they are doing the right thing for humanity. With Gaza, some are even encouraging genocides and war crimes under terrorism name (like they did in Afghanistan...) which is unjustified. #Gaza_Genocide#IsraelTerorrist
Murdering children, genocide, carpet bombing, erasing entire neighbourhoods, assassinating journalists, massacring medical crews, cutting off telecommunication, depriving civilians of food and water and collective punishment.
This is what's taking place in #Gaza now.
The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the horrific attacks by Hamas.
Those horrendous attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
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.
When creating reactgg, we had one goal – optimize for "aha!" moments.
Our favorite way of doing that was creating interactive visuals that represent core React concepts
Today, we're excited to announce "React, Visualized" – a free, visual intro to React

My NFTs are off localhost and alive 🤯!
Wrote a smart contract that can mint NFTs and then deployed it to an actual Ethereum testnet.
Here's a screenshot of my test collection on OpenSea! Ty @_buildspace✨!
Learning how to build my own NFTs w/ @_buildspace!
The plan is to:
✍️ write my own ERC-721 smart contract
💰 let people mint my NFTs to their wallet
🚀 deploy it to Ethereum
Let's do this 😈.
As promised, tomorrow I'll have a new Medium giving details about Shiba Inu Games & introduce the consultant/lead who will work directly with the AAA #gamestudio.
I'm so grateful 🙏 for YOU, @RyoshiResearch and the entire #SHIBARMY. #oshiverse#mobilegaming
