  • Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

    Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.



  • No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

    That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

    I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.


  • If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

    But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

    But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.








  • I’m talking about really basic stuff. AI is great as an entry point to a new language.

    For example, in python, finding out the current folder in which the script is running or in preact, how to use simple hooks.

    It’s fast, and once I know the name of the functions used, I can look up the documentation I need to and find appropriate tutorials and examples.






  • The process to install Ubuntu vs Windows is pretty much the same.

    Create a user, choose a timezone, connect to Wi-Fi or LAN and wait for setup to finish. It is not complicated by any mean.

    As I mentioned, most people never install an OS in their life, so they don’t know how to create a boot drive and install an OS.

    So the issue isn’t that installing Linux is complicated, it’s that installing an OS on an empty drive is not a thing that the vast majority of pc users has done or will ever do.
