They’re phasing it out, manifest v2. Blue green testing, at some point you will be forced out as well.

Yeah strong disagree with this meme. 15 years into my career and everything gets a data type.

The only engineers I know who still don’t like strong types are engineers who haven’t lost a weekend due to a stupid type issue. Once you have one or a few of those, you start to like types again.

You got an audible chuckle from me on that one

Docker compose in git. Env in 1password or whatever password manager you use. Most support uploading a raw file.

Ah floating point math. Works fine for 90% of use cases, until it doesn’t.

I got the Hyundai Kona to be a simple small barebones EV and it has done that. It’s going to have the same bells and whistles most people expect, but I did also get a physical key with it.

Had it just over a year now and love it. It’s a great car

Yeah why would they keep making games that were successful when instead they could make games that no one asked for

I loved shadow of mordor/war, and always wondered why they didn’t make another. However I also guess better to go out early before it’s done to death

Then they really are horrible at gaming because there are millions of people chomping at the bit to pay any amount for dlc to that game

Seriously they could have done sims level DLC and people could have just kept buying. New mounts, small new areas, bits of story here and there, a new class

I’m glad I’m not the only one genuinely confused by this. Are they shorting their own company? What is going on?

I mean, a Gollum game?

Which is fine, but I have no idea why they’re just throwing everything they have in the trash. They built the whole world and just sat on it. Expansions could make them so much money to fund the next game in the short term

WHY?! WHY ARE THEY BEING SO STUPID WITH HOGWARTS?!

They built this whole world into the game and did NOTHING with it! It’s empty! Hogwarts the settings is perfect! The castle was fun to walk around in, to explore! I 100%'d the game because I loved exploring in it! Then they did nothing else to the game. I don’t even remember what the antagonist’s name was!

The game oversold all expectations! People just loved shelling out money for it! Then WB just dropped it.

I see things bitching every day about how their game studios don’t make enough money and then they shit the bed here by just letting that game sit here!

If they’re actually worried about money why are they not cranking out DLC every 4-6 months?! People would buy it! The world they built is begging to have more stories told, and people are holding out their wallets asking for more content for it - and they cancel it?!? They can’t bitch and moan that games don’t make money and then they just flip the off switch on their freaking money printer.

Thanks. That was cathartic.

I’ve had about three companies do agile correctly. They were either less than 10 people total or did not care at all. Any company with middle management dipped their toes in, I think because they need to prove their existence

Ah the right of passage. The first “horny time I don’t know what consequences are I’m sure I’ll find a way out of it” moment.

Have fun with the parenting!

My mom bought me a book that said the devil was in my pants and I’d go to hell. So, that’s one approach.

Yup. Agree or disagree, it’s meaning has shifted. Language is an ever evolving thing. Computer meant something different 100 years ago. We didn’t have the term fiber optic. There’s always things that change.

Yup, wasted memory allocation to get something that’s there already

God, as a true scrummaster - one who believes in actual scrum - where the devs make the rules - not management… this hurts. This hurts so goddamn much.

• 4 hour planning? PMs shit the bed.
• Story points = hours? Micromanagement
• Estimate with that much accuracy? Micromanagement who are also terrible with managing their own schedules.
• It’s a simple task. - How would any business person know how long or expensive a dev task is.

And on and on, and of course you all know this. The term “Agile” has been so bastardized from it’s conception by management who think it’s a micromanagement tool. It’s quite literally the opposite. It’s mean to put the power in the hands of the developers - so they can be efficient and keep management out of their way. Management just couldn’t handle handing over a tiny bit of power though. Have to break the fundamental pillars of agile, like dictating what a point is, or how long things should take. Ugh.

I mean, you’re right here.

Thank you I thought I was going insane. It’s not Reddit levels of activity, but I’d say this is pretty dang active. Stats on the right show almost 600 users a day, ~7k a month, almost 100k comments…
