Are there any rules at your Software Company that slow down delivery? I'm thinking of things like No deploy Fridays, Changes must be manually tested, Changes must go via a change Advisory board, that sort of thing?

Interested to see what whacky org constraints devs live with

@yomexzo At my current client i have four month old branches that are un merged because there aren't enough QA opeople to test what the developers are building.

one of these branches is literally a one line CSS fix.

@sleathing2n @carbdiem They didn't say the models earn that much, note the word 'generate'. Wonder who keeps the lions share of the income?

@Malcolm_Ocean You're through the worst part for a dad i think, when the baby just stares at you and doesn't give you much feedback. But they will begin to smile, and then laugh, and then talk, and it gets so much better. Hang in there.

@davedisasterman @Aaronontheweb And if you think they're a pain to deal with, then imagine what it's like guiding manual testers through visual studio

@GergelyOrosz I once had a conversation with a female Delivery Manager, and she was talking about adding engineers to hit a rapidly approaching deadline. So i said 9 women can't make a baby in the month" and she said, "well that depends on the woman."

@therealhostman @thomasforth Does it need to correct it's position? There's thousands of satellites it can connect to.

[Liam Blizard @LiamBlizard]

@Aaronontheweb Very difficult to get product managers to agree on that.

[F# Online @fsharponline]

F# Online will be moving to Bluesky (as well as Mastodon, YouTube), and will no longer amplify content posted here.

@ShowerAbsolute I used to work with a British Guy who had infowars on all day long, who stormed into the office on Nov 10th 2016, and screamed. "YES! YES! YES! NOW LET'S HANG THAT FUCKING BITCH."

I wonder what he treated his colleagues to on wednesday morning.
