Downvote, its not January anymore.

It was a script undirected for 12 years

Lotteries are no different than stepping on people. They have to buy into the process, but the amounts allocated from lotteries for education or other grants is outpaced by what is given up in prizes.

Agile has poisoned software development to the point where it’s fine to ship shit products that can be fixed post-release, which of course gives stakeholders and execs the reasons to tie performance and bonuses to shipping, as opposed to routine stable operations.

I don’t know if going back to Waterfall is the right fix, but something has to change. Shipping crap is the new normal. If programmers organize to fight for better wages and conditions, we absolutely must fight to hold management responsible for code quality. Get us additional hours for unit and behavioral testing, assessing and tackling technical debt, and so on.

Its there, you have to find it.

Honestly, software development can be so demoralizing at times.

We agreed on Primary/Secondary and Primary/Replica already. Sorry.

I’m in no rush to play Alan Wake 2, if Control 2 goes to Ebin Aids Store I’ll be in no rush to play it either.
