Some say that giant Koreans don’t exist.
I bet he’s a fungi at parties.
Someone would look at our process and say “that’s not agile!” and they might be correct, technically speaking. I don’t personally care what it’s called as long as it works.
We agree to requirements up front with our customer; we might change stuff as we go along if our customer realizes that what they asked for won’t work (this happens occasionally), which is fine, but otherwise we don’t let them change stuff around on a whim, and we don’t allow scope creep. If they want a new feature, that’s version 2 (or 3, or 4).
We don’t meet very frequently. We do check in to make sure we’re on target, and deliver features incrementally when it makes sense to do so. We do sprints. We talk about when things are working and when they aren’t, but only when we think it’s a good time to do so.
At the end of the day, you need to tailor the process to your needs and what makes sense to you and your team.
Happy cake day, friend! Thanks for providing this place for us.
Yes. Tuesday is the superior day.
You’ve gotten over the jarring shock of Monday, and nothing is happening in your life on a Tuesday night after COB.
could be a fun project for someone with a severe lack of sanity
Starting a little late this year, but it’s coming along!
That’s beautiful! You should be proud.
Yep. Look up the Great Filter theory.
Does this actually even work any more? I figured most things protected against it nowadays.
Vim is like the Hotel California.
Same. I was a Perl dev back in the day. It’s excellent for massaging data.
Mouse: someone kill me
Pan-ah-SEE-ah
I was saying puh-nay-shuh too
Panacea. I pronounced it incorrectly for a long time. Never knew because no one corrected me. Fortunately it didn’t come up too often.
Newpipe has been working very well for me… for now.
And you avoid making an app that you show to the customer for the first time only for them to say, “What the hell is this?” My company used waterfall for the longest time, and this happened several times. It was really frustrating.
Yea. Coffee is hydrating, just a tiny bit less so (i.e. negligibly) than water.
Alcohol is a cursed potion that makes you think you’ve increased your Charisma and Intelligence, but it actually decreases Wisdom and Dexterity.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone else for the great suggestions! I have ideas for several projects, but def want to start with basic stuff and work my way up from there (and just use minimal tools for now until I decide that this is what I’m into).
