I’ve had this conversation:
We need to increase our velocity! Has the customer told us yet what they would like us to build?
Unfortunately I can’t have that chat ever. I’m the one (in most of my career, not now) responsible for telling my folks what the customer wants, and not in a sales way.
You can fix it later, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to.
Nothing’s more permanent than a temporary solution.
I’ve seen a “temporary fix” serve as a core element of a service stack for a company with annual revenue in the hundreds of millions for like at least 5 years.
They can’t fire you if you’re the only one who can fix your shit…
Oh, they can, they will just force some other poor programmer to read your code and figure it out. A profoundly miserable process, but someone is willing to do it.
my heart goes out to the poor soul who tries to make sense of my code

Technical debt goes brrrrrrrrr
mmmm spaghetti code
“Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can’t build the wall per specifications.”
“We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today.”
You have a problem with agile methodology, you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.
there’s a special place in heaven for kanban lovers that’s what i always say
To be faiiiiiir, it’s is the easiests of the ways of workins.
To be faaaaaaiiiiirrr…
To be faaaaaaaiiiiiiiiir 🎵
I loved agile as an analyst, we used to use waterfall and you’d hear about incorrect designs months later, or not at all, where in agile you can work out the details with the programmers and get both nearer the business requirements, and better designs
Also I absolutely love the job of scrum master which had no equivalent in waterfall
I love waterfall as an developer, I’m using agile now and we have incomplete, conflicting designs every sprint, or spills which affect our metrics, where in waterfall you can workout all the details and have full vision of product and better design with less reworks.
Not to mock you. My point is that methodology is not import when team consists from responsible professionals
There are some instances in which waterfall is not only entirely appropriate, but also the best possible choice in terms of work organization.
There are some instances in which agile is the best fit. Likewise kanban.
Different domains have different optimal workflows.
Is there some reason that wall won’t work fine?
should work fine if there is no load on it , this seems deliberate for the look
Ah the well known technical debt
