I've always wondered, how did it come to this? isn't having a standup every day a 'process'?

ooh yeah, the industry is dogmatic about ill thought about so called agile principles. Nobody dare to question them it baffles me. I've been consulting for over 10 years, how come I've never encountered a useful scrum master if th

that's exactly my reluctance to question Agile processes, because people will think I am pushing it too far.

I can't agree with this strongly enough also with the parent comment. I think it's the constant conflict between the 'maker schedule' and the 'manager schedule' I firmly believe that I can be way more productiv

interesting to see this becoming part of the tools. In 2012, I was on project were we used a physical board, and we would make a black circle for everyday on the board and once we started exceeding the initial estimate (it was done in days

it absolutely makes no difference to me to have standups, yet still we participate in them... - To see who's working on what, I just look at the board. - To seek help when I get blocked, I send a message on Slack (or whatever) at the p

The anti-pattern in play here is that “the decision is in the hand of the least-informed” I believe technical decisions should be delegated by the “aware” manager to the team to make or to the most-informed. But then if the manager in quest

Not really referring to these type of decisions, but things like "should we extract this into a service, instead of having it to live in the monolith?", "should we use this type of tech to X" type of decisions that in mo

Yes, surely it's possible. But the resultant test is highly tightly coupled to the implementation of the SUT which gives the test more than one reason to change. We should strive generally to have tests that only change if the business

I love this. I started with trying to have simple, short and descriptive names for the test methods but then it doesn't work quite well with more complicated test cases. So I grew to like something along these lines: given_someInput_so

beware of the difference between simple and too simple though!

Well to me that sounds more of a process matters than a choice of technology. I use git day to day and before that used svn for a number of years. Now on the odd codebase, I tend to find svn is still in use, and I don't mind that, I ju

despite being old, I think the value lies in the "principle", you don't have to generate your code out of your markup but at least if you document your thoughts and reflect upon them and what and why certain decisions were ma

I do this day to day, nice to see that there's a name for it :) Start every piece of work in a markdown with vim. and proceed to dump my thoughts, what I have tried, what did work and what didn't. Also any useful links that I&#x27

statically compiled languages are a pain, let's use a dynamic one for this project!

awesome indeed. Any plans to support more Vim navigations, something like 'gg' and 'G' would be useful IMO. As well as the ability to use a custom 'ESC' mapping to leave the scroll mode.

in short, grab a task. make it work, and never look back to make anything right.

I like the stability of Maven, despite XML and people complaining about it's complexity, I just find it stable enough and does the job quite well. For one of my clients, we created lots of similar microservices, similar setup but sligh

It's a template, GDPR is EU-specific and not everyone in the world has to worry about that, it's just too specific a subject to consider in a generic template. If an EU-based (or storing EU data) team need to jump start from this,

I come more from a JVM world. But aren't there any DB migration/refactoring tools in Rails to allow for changes to propagate across tenants ? E.g for the JVM, there's Liquibase and Flyway, and I agree with you, setting that u
