I refuse to believe that unlimited spend on something that cannot be measured, and multiplies potential negative productivity, is not in the best interest of the company

Google Meet is an order of magnitude better than Zoom. It’s also free. I straight up don’t get why people use Zoom.

an underutilized pattern to add custom functionality to Zod:

create a "myzod.ts" file that re-exports everything fro zod. then define additional types/functionality in that file.

i am so over the web design trend where every piece of text on the page has to animate in

begging the devs angrily RTing this to actually try explaining a piece of code to a non-coder. it will, in fact, bore them to tears. understanding the details of postgres (which the article isn't about) would take months!

lighten up, it's a good piece https://t.co/WAzdQ10J2t

@ThePrimeagen Is this for real? I am so hyped for this if so!

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.

@ThePrimeagen Opportunity missed. Should have been a pointer to peanuts! 🥜

"What did you promise at the last general election?"
"Triple lock pensions, not raise national insurance, hire 50,000 more nurses, reduce household bills & make Brexit a success"
"And what's happened?"
"Fucked it"

Think before you code. Identify, understand & solve the problem then implement the solution. Prototyping helps, but think before typing a lot.

@TheHusayn You people just don’t get it...There are real people getting hurt by this manipulation. If you actually lived closer to where some of these people lived, you’d see the pain this is inflicting and the number of spaces opening up at marina’s, as refugees flee for the Caymans.

I knew I should have written tests first! But I thought: “oh, just this once. It won’t matter.”
