You know what?

Yes.

Taskmistress** thank you very much 💅

It’s like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.

Lol I went through the exact same process.

Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.

Playing Diplomacy I’m pretty sure violates the Geneva convention.

Damn okay well if the hackers are at that level I guess you’re just screwed.

Mine is not a Tesla, and its range is exaggerated… Or at least its range has a hidden asterisk that would read “under ideal conditions with a gentle driving style.” It self-adjusts based on my recent driving history, and I mostly don’t let the battery get low enough that I have to care about how precise it is… But it definitely skews heavily optimistic, especially when I first bought the car. It’s roughly the same in that regard as a Tesla is, according to the Tesla drivers I know.

Whoa really? How did you figure it out? I’d love to do that with my car, even if it’s a pain.

Can we sync on that real quick? I think we can ideate on some quick wins for your allergy that’ll get you unblocked.

Let’s see the hackers figure that one out!

It’s “fairest,” right? So maybe the mirror just saw her doing stuff like meticulously cutting a cake into evenly-sized pieces instead of portioning out bigger ones for herself and her cronies. That’d be plausible for a 7 year old.

Four! I thought oh his puke looks like a Pacman pill because space people eat space food and I guess it’s like that.

I think you mean “Sacrilege” or maybe “Sacrilegious.” That means “The violation of something sacred.”

Sacrosanct means “sacred and beyond question,” which is related, but kind of the opposite of what you mean.

Okay but how does starting a secure shell help?

Thanks for explaining. I still think “planning” is a weird way to think about what’s supposed to happen during standup-- It seems to me that the whole purpose of working in sprints (and the rituals that that typically entails) is to plan ahead so that during the week you can execute on well-groomed, properly-scoped work. Of course when you notice something is wrong, or needs to be reconsidered, you might need to pull the brakes and realign mid-sprint, but my sense is that if you’re doing planning every day, that might mean that your work isn’t groomed well enough beforehand, or you’re not locking in important decisions during sprint planning.

But it might depend on the work, and it might depend on what you mean by “planning.” If your planning just looks like “Hey are you free to pair on issue 123 this afternoon? Okay sweet, I’ll throw a meeting in your calendar,” then yeah sure-- I wouldn’t use the word “planning” for that, but it’s not crazy to. Or maybe the work is different than my work, and actually does warrant some amount of day-level of planning that wouldn’t make sense for teams I’ve been on. I’m open to that, too.

(Btw I tried to look up this “planning planning feedback feedback cycle” thing and the only search results I got were THIS LEMMY THREAD, lol… Cool to see Lemmy show up in search results)

Err… Is your team doing planning during standup? I’ve never heard of that, from either people who are on teams that use standups, or from any of the Agile/Scrum literature that I’ve seen. In my experience, standups are typically about either a) coordinating the execution of work that has already been committed to, or b) whoops just a status meeting and everybody’s tuned out.

Mine is that, except they DON’T complain. Like when someone is showing me a YouTube video on their device and an ad shows up 30 seconds in… I lunge for the mute button while I scan the room for a blanket, clipboard, or other item to shield us, yelling “AVERT YOUR EYES!!” but next to all of my commotion, they’re just nodding along placidly like “Oh Coinbase, interesting.”

Like… Aren’t you affronted that some company paid another company to make it less convenient to do the thing you’re trying to do?! Does the gaudy, pushy tone change to too-loud propaganda designed to coax you away from your money not gall you?!

“Idk sometimes the ads are interesting. Free month sounds good.”

Jesus christ he’s too far gone.

Look, they only had $70m to work with, okay? You gotta make some compromises when you’re on such a shoestring budget.

Let us not forget the revolutionary idea to-- now pay attention cause this is BIG-- to prioritize player experience! Can’t believe nobody has thought of that before.
