It’s agile if the plan is constantly reviewed with every new information in mind and you can change what you are working in to better implement it.

If you do do Scrum, that’s almost never the case.

They have a golden statue somewhere…

In the 80s. If you look at what your examples have in common, you’ll notice you’ve heard it in the 80s.

Too bad 80s nostalgia is all the hype nowadays, but at least this seems to be passing in other subcultures. I really hope it passes in software development too.

Oh, man. Can you tell what the second step is? I’d really like to learn that.

Make the box transparent.

But seriously, all of those have older versions that don’t work as well but look absolutely cool.

There’s nothing dull about seeing a spectrograph working.

Edit: also, how come you can’t find a real hologram displayed in a museum?

If you are asking the first part is probably true, and for the people you noticed the second part is probably true.

Well, they have a choice of pandering to this one large customer for whom they’ll always be the untrusted underdog, or pandering for the larger, more diverse market.

They never managed to become profitable as the untrusted underdog, so the option of keeping doing the same was obvious, I guess.

Lol! Be like GitLab instead:

1 - Be the underdog with good reputation in a market completely monopolized;

2 - Have the incumbent self-destruct by vibecoding its product and pushing AI above every other feature to its customers;

3 - Loudly announce that you are leaving your past good behavior behind, and that you are betting everything on vibecoding and pushing AI to your customers!

Is your nozzle becoming full of molten filament on its outside while the printer is heating up?

Modern CPUs can manage what interrupts them. Almost nothing actually does.

Computers have a CPU just to get in the way of things interrupting the main CPU.

It’s a HELLO II keyboard. Probably the next model after the original one.

If you are on the web, there’s a link for it on the top of your page.

Cron is absolutely lawful, not neutral. If there’s any deamon that defines lawfulness it’s sendmail, but after it, it’s cron.

Lol! Not even the English-speaking media is caring to pretend the US has any reason to look.

They even got into the trap of asking a Brazilian what he thinks of the “fraud risk” thing English-speakers talk so much about…

So he didn’t notice that Europe created an alternative NATO and just didn’t invite the US?

Nope, he’s smarter than that. The entire thing is just bullshit for the Russian population.

What are you guys doing to your JS packages for them to last so long?

You can set a connection pool. Or use a database proxy.

EDIT: Oh, you are using Django for shell scripts?

Said 2 months into the war…

A speed-boat is something you get a few dozens in a container, all for the price of a single missile the US will use to destroy them.

Iran doesn’t need a navy to keep Hormuz closed.
