I've had this conversation:
We need to increase our velocity! Has the customer told us yet what they would like us to build?
Unfortunately I can't have that chat ever. I'm the one (in most of my career, not now) responsible for telling my folks what the customer wants, and not in a sales way.
You can fix it later, but that doesn't mean you're going to.
Nothing's more permanent than a temporary solution.
Technical debt goes brrrrrrrrr
Later there will be other projects, other fires.
I’ve seen a “temporary fix” serve as a core element of a service stack for a company with annual revenue in the hundreds of millions for like at least 5 years.
mmmm spaghetti code
"Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can't build the wall per specifications."
"We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today."
This applies to lift-and-shift migrations too. “We need to migrate this now, let’s fix it as a next phase”, then it never gets fixed; instead of taking the opportunity to fix stuff as you build on a clean slate.
My conversation with the moronic MBAs that lead my org today. Who cares about doing impactful work when we can just do useless busy work that makes the nontechnical morons happy.
You have a problem with agile methodology, you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.
I loved agile as an analyst, we used to use waterfall and you'd hear about incorrect designs months later, or not at all, where in agile you can work out the details with the programmers and get both nearer the business requirements, and better designs
Also I absolutely love the job of scrum master which had no equivalent in waterfall
I love waterfall as an developer, I’m using agile now and we have incomplete, conflicting designs every sprint, or spills which affect our metrics, where in waterfall you can workout all the details and have full vision of product and better design with less reworks.
Not to mock you. My point is that methodology is not import when team consists from responsible professionals
"We're just using old, time tested frameworks. They worked fine in the past, they'll still work today for sure!"
About the pic itself, laying bricks like that can't be structurally sound... am I right?
That's actually a nice CSS.
No conflict is for the weak.
💪
just keep coding, your employer will outsource you the very moment i seems convenient
Is there some reason that wall won't work fine?
should work fine if there is no load on it , this seems deliberate for the look
I’m not a mason, but I guess it would work, if it is vertically straight. It’s ugly though. The customer would complain…unless you hide it somehow.
The trick is to get some else to shit the 🧱 when it hits the fan.
Ah the well known technical debt
with lease?
