I hope the author means HTTPS, not HTTP - otherwise, I don't think this is a good idea. Anyway, as everything in software development: it all depends - serving a simple JSON over an existing "full blown web application back-end&qu

Yeah, maybe, but I'm not the one who said "I hate them" or "they just sound so damn whiney" and did nothing to change it.

All we talk about here is how to work with people. I'm sorry, but you strike me as more of a talker than a doer, I hope I'm wrong.

LOL, just name your stories accordingly and move "as a user I want to" part to description. Haven't you raised that easy-to-fix issue with your team members?

One thing to add in favor of user stories: they have very broad audience - basically every non-technical person will understand it, which is very useful if the domain is specific and you need an input from regular users.

I suspect that this approach might not be the best fit for more "fluent" projects as you are unable to reevaluate how things should work until the whole feature is finished, but that's just my wild guess as I've never wo

A user story is good exercise for less technical people to grasp what developers need to know before starting development: - they are easy to understand as everyone is familiar with concept of telling stories - they enforce a way of thinkin

What you've said is very true, but implementing it depends heavily on the client. The fundamental rule of agile is that business needs to participate in software development on daily basis (and I agree with that 100%). Although, it is

I wouldn't use "them" in this sentence, Mozilla is non-profit organization, but Gecko is open source - anyone is free to send them patch. The problem is that development in this environment is not an easy task. Yup, it is imp

I thought I was talking to an intelligent person - do you understand that "necessary" is totally different category than "nice to have"? What's the point of having libraries if they will be looted or bombarded on th

I repeat: public safety is THE reason why we organize in countries, so police, army, justice system is in COMPLETELY different category - it is something essential, the rest is disputable. That's why you cannot compare them with, e.g.

Like you said: it's the matter of opinion, public safety, though, is not.

Arguably, cities need public transport in from of a metro even more than stadiums, yet, the first underground railway was completely private enterprise.

by bladelessninja2 4y ago
How did you get from stadium to police? The whole idea why people organize themselves in countries is to ensure internal and external safety and thus that everyone pay taxes for police, army and courts. Everything else is an addition and in

I remember times where free market and private enterprises were huge part of American culture. I miss those times, bloody socialists are going to ruin everything.

Well, encourage socialistic views, there will be more tax money to "help" those organizations.

Are you talking the country that gained its wealth from years of capitalism and centuries of colonialism? Yep, it will fail soon, like it always do.

Funny, but we are in an adult conversation now, you can't ignore facts with just some joke. Grow up.

That's my point - there would be never a discussion about saving bankers in 2008 if there was capitalism, capitalism rejects ANY intervention into free market (except maybe anti monopoly laws). That only proofs that it is not capitalis

You forgot to mention how rules changed - if you are right that is the only way to undo what happened. Instead, you argue "it changed for the worse, let's change it even more in some random direction" - this completely illogi
