YOU’RE DOING QUADRATICS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?’

RagnarokOnline OP ,

Design specs for establishing your own coastal quay, of course!

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

RagnarokOnline ,

Was gonna post this

RagnarokOnline ,

Each system is born with the biases of its creator

RagnarokOnline ,

“Conservatives hate this one like of code.”

It initiates a drag queen show.

RagnarokOnline ,

Damn. It’s amazing to read some of the HIPAA and FERPA fines out there for exposing data accidentally. Then you’ve got this kind of breach, which is probably endemic and at a much larger scale.

Great read

RagnarokOnline ,

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

RagnarokOnline ,

Fidget spinners?

RagnarokOnline ,

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

GPT: “What’s Lemmy, lol”

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 ,

Church of Glacier Cherry rise up!

RagnarokOnline ,

Sport-mode. This man is dangerous, indeed

RagnarokOnline ,

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.

RagnarokOnline ,

These AI generated press images are so easy to spot

RagnarokOnline ,

All my homies hate Sarah

RagnarokOnline ,

I mean, that survey on the back isn’t lying, per se, but it’s taking things that are only minorly concerning and stating them in a way that is overblown or more alarming than they deserve.

“The best lies are based in truth”, I suppose.

RagnarokOnline ,

I think you’re right :(

RagnarokOnline ,

Is this loss?

RagnarokOnline ,

Fuck these monsters. Government won’t even let the homeless eat these little monsters, so they have no dignity and purpose beyond harassing good-natured citizens.

RagnarokOnline ,

I guess I better figure it out…

RagnarokOnline OP ,

Oh shit - good to know!

RagnarokOnline ,

I think “brick” could be a solution to a lot of life’s current challenges…

RagnarokOnline ,

Off the grid it is, then

RagnarokOnline ,

BEWARE THE IDES

RagnarokOnline ,

Fuck spez

RagnarokOnline ,

I love this

RagnarokOnline ,

Doritos are probably plenty powerful enough

We smokin' sequoia banshee boogers

RagnarokOnline ,

Wtf?!

RagnarokOnline ,

I’ve started sending things to myself in email. That way I never look at them, but it doesn’t free up my precious cloud storage space when I have to reformat my hard drive.

A failure that never goes away.
