I don’t know what a LINE profile pic is, so is OP cyberbullying be weab Japanese girl?

Such a weird song at the time, but the vibe is so good

RagnarokOnline ,

YOU’RE DOING QUADRATICS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?’

RagnarokOnline ,

What are you implying here? People don’t use Lemmy because of this guy’s politics? Do we know the politics of other developers?

RagnarokOnline ,

Oh nice, thank you. I didn’t realize they were an admin and mod too. I thought just a developer.

RagnarokOnline ,

I couldn’t disagree more.

In medical I would end up being apart of endless retirement gathering meetings, then draft up the SOW doc only to have stakeholders change requirements when they were reviewing the doc. Then months later once the doc was finally finished and I could do the development, when UAT time finally came, they’d say the build wasn’t what they wanted (though it matched the written requirements).

Most of the projects I saw executed in the last 4 years either got scrapped altogether or got bogged down in political bs for months trying to get the requirements “just right”.

It was a nightmare. You could blame me, or the company, or bad processes all you want, but I’ve never had fun on a waterfall project, especially not in medical. (Though, in my opinion, we are severely understaffed and need like 4 more BAs.)

RagnarokOnline ,

what matters when it comes to delivering high-quality software on time and within budget is a robust requirements engineering process and having the psychological safety to discuss and solve problems when they emerge, whilst taking steps to prevent developer burnout.

I haven’t read the book they’re advertising here, but I’ve found these challenges to be socially created, not caused by agile.

RagnarokOnline ,

I would say yes, the problem is stakeholders not having thought critically about what they really wanted from the project.

The motivation for projects were usually “regulatory told us we need to have this new metric for federal reporting”, or “so-and-so’s company can do this, why can’t ours” rather than, “we’d like to increase retention by 6% and here’s the approach we’ve researched to make that happen”.

I ended up experiencing that people in the highest positions weren’t experts in their field, but just people who had a strong intuition. This meant they would zero-in on what they wanted by trial and error rather than logic. Likewise, it meant they were socially adept enough so their higher-ups would never get mad at them when we finished “late and over budget”. People lower on the totem received that blame.

I think humans are just really bad at estimating and keeping their commitments, which is why I enjoy working with agile more. It’s a forgiving framework (imo).

RagnarokOnline ,

In the article, they’re proposing a solution to agile (“Impact Development” or something). The quote I listed above is talking about how Impact Development is supposed to provide those things. That said, I don’t blame agile for projects not having those things, it’s the people’s fault. So changing methodologies likely won’t help.

In short: yes, make AI do all project management :P

I dunno about this… I see a wet cucumber and I’m runnin

O shit 0.o

I love pickles. I don’t think I can live with this contradiction

RagnarokOnline ,

I can’t even imagine the heat generated from charging a battery in 60 seconds. Gonna get branded by my bezel

RagnarokOnline ,

Look, I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know how this is going to go. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to be a fly on the wall.

That said, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put yourself out there, too. By asking for a dance, you’re communicating “I’m here to have fun”. Try to say that to as many people as you can and you’ll have a blast.

Also, Salsa is so dang easy to do the basic step. 90% of the Latin dances I’ve been to have been just doing the basic step for the whole song and looking at people around me for inspiration of moves to try.

You’re gonna do great.

Kids of vloggers being regulated like child stars is definitely a compelling idea. Not sure how you would actually enforce that since there’s no registration as an influencer’s kid with a governing body (like child stars do with SAG), but it’s definitely a better way to go.

RagnarokOnline ,

Got a backbone controller and ain’t been back to a console for anything other than watching streaming since.

RagnarokOnline ,

Any kind of faster music that keeps up the tempo. Two Door Cinema Club has been a go-to.

You’re wanting, like, “Michael Cera from Juno” levels of nerdy?

FTC bans most noncompete agreements between employers and workers (www.npr.org)

The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes. It says the policy change could lead to increased wages totaling nearly $300 billion per year by encouraging people to swap jobs freely.

RagnarokOnline ,

They’ve been around forever, which is where my pessimism comes from. I’ve personally suffered and even had to pass up a job due to a non-compete. I’m not going to court to prove a point, which means employers have much more power than workers.

RagnarokOnline ,

This was the advice I received when I consulted a lawyer on my non-compete. She said “I mean, you could go for it, but if they do call you on it, you’ll either owe the wages from your new organization, or you’ll have to take them to court and that’ll likely take a year or legal fees. You have to ask yourself if that’s worth it to you and your family.”

Sucked to hear, and NCs are predatory anti-worker BS.

Delta is a great app if you have iPhone and a Backbone controller 👀

…stop cluckin around back here! We’ve got customers to serve.

RagnarokOnline ,

Good thing you checked, that’s ridiculous. If I’d cut a dado for some mixed stock and found out some of them were 1 & 1/3 instead of 1 & 1/2, I’d be pissed.

RagnarokOnline ,

Top comment, this. This is gonna be my default when folks ask about dimensional lumber sizes in the future

RagnarokOnline ,

I’ve found some applications for it, honestly.

I made a work bench with oak 4x4s for legs and dado’d in pine 2x4s for the cross braces. Nice and sturdy with a good enough fit and no movement I noticed over the past 3 years.

RagnarokOnline ,

I shouldn’t be commenting here, but I will. I haven’t played Earthbound yet, but it’s one of the retro games I’m most looking forward to (besides FF6).

The music is so charming and the aesthetic is legendary.

That’s all I’ve got.

RagnarokOnline ,

Just cuz I haven’t played it yet. Feels like I’m not competent to really be able to discuss the game like someone who has.

Anon has allowed himself to become manipulated by bees

After years of being told I was part Cherokee, someone was mad that I wasn't. (lemmy.world)

He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…

RagnarokOnline ,

Knew a pastor who this happened to. He was adamant that he was part Native American. After a DNA test it turned out he was zero percent Native American.

He was big enough to embrace it, tho

RagnarokOnline ,

TIL: I’m looking for a job I can Quiet Quit at for the next 20-30 years.

Sport-mode. This man is dangerous, indeed

The only remaining use for reddit for me is basically being a Stack Overflow for non-technology stuff (want to find the best bidet, there’s probably a review post on reddit that someone put together).

Now that comments might be well-hidden marketing attempts, there’s legit no trusting that information anymore.

Way to go, Reddit. In a few months, I’ll no longer have any reason to look at a post from 2024 or later.

If they charge by the image, and there is any expectation that AI image-generators might produce garbage results, then AI providers are incentivized to make you pay for their experimentation

without you ever knowing about it, as well as (perhaps) swapping in a cheaper-to-operate model some percentage of the time, perhaps as request loads peak, hoping you’ll just roll the dice and try again.

RagnarokOnline ,

I think there’s a chance we’ll see that type of cost-cutting eventually, but the only way I can imagine a pay-per-image model working is if you get unlimited “spins” until you get an image you find acceptable.

RagnarokOnline ,

Passcode, baby, I’m coming back to you!

RagnarokOnline ,

Hell yeah! I hadn’t seen the extended cut
