  • Agile SHOULD have a lot of the things ‘traditional’ management looks for! Though so many, including many college teachers I’ve heard, think of it way too strictly.

    It’s just the time scale shrinks as necessary for specific deliverable goals instead of the whole product… instead of having a design for the whole thing from top to bottom, you start with a good overview and implement general arch to service what load you’ll need. Then you break down the tasks, and solve the problems more and more and yadda yadda…

    IMO, the people that think Agile Development means only implement the bare minimum … are part of the complete fucking idiot portion of the industry.



  • Really proving how intelligent Apple fans are with that reading comprehension… The argument referenced there is obviously referencing the arguments you brought up elsewhere on the internet between Apple fans and other fans.

    It’s not out of nowhere. This is a topic about how people maybe should not give Apple money if they don’t want to support a corporation that will bow to fascists.

    How stupid and captured their dumbass fans are is DIRECTLY related to how easy it’d be to convince them to not keep throwing money at Apple.

    The fact you cannot even follow a basic conversation is the only pathetic thing here.



  • Exactly. I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for describing the thing we all agree happens…

    I don’t blame the students for not being seasoned professionals. I clearly blame the executives that constantly replace seasoned engineers with fresh hires they don’t have to pay as much.

    Then everyone surprise pikachu faces when crap is the result… Functionally idiots is absolutely correct for the reality we’re all staring at. I am directly part of this industry, so this is more meant as honest retrospective than baseless namecalling. What happens these days is idiotry.










  • Definitely part of it. The other part is soooo many companies hire shit idiots out of college. Sure, they have a degree, but they’ve barely understood the concept of deep logic for four years in many cases, and virtually zero experience with ANY major framework or library.

    Then, dumb management puts them on tasks they’re not qualified for, add on that Agile development means “don’t solve any problem you don’t have to” for some fools, and… the result is the entire industry becomes full of functionally idiots.

    It’s the same problem with late-stage capitalism… Executives focus on money over longevity and the economy becomes way more tumultuous. The industry focuses way too hard on “move fast and break things” than making quality, and … here we are, discussing how the industry has become shit.


  • No, they’re pointing out the chilling effect of shitting on the topic.

    You’re the kind of fuckwit that would say Chris Hansen does no good against predators because he’s one guy doing a small set of stings… You’re the kind of guy who’d shit on a compromise policy that’s otherwise still a step in the right direction. You’re the kind of guy to make good the enemy of great.

    and you have the gall to use insults when YOU are the one committing the social faux pas…

    Pathetic. If you’re going to point out flaws, be constructive with it. Otherwise it is still on YOU if someone assumes negative intent from unconstructive criticism.




  • That won’t protect shit. You need laws that actually protect and preserve privacy. Otherwise they’ll just find some loophole. Like the NSA in the US. Not supposed to get searched without a warrant to the point where evidence gathered in such ways is supposed to be inadmissable in court… But your data isn’t your property.

    Even if it were your property, you’d have to add protections so that just because a company handles your data doesn’t magically make it their data to sell for profit so it ends up spread far and wide and hackable in dozens of databases around the world.

    If you don’t protect PRIVACY and your right to control your own data, they’ll just say they can force companies to use more hackable methodologies instead of an outright back door. They’ll just force government ID to get on the web so even just your comms patterns without the content can be very telling. They could even simply force companies to forward the data some other way after the data legally becomes the company’s data…

    If you try to protect “from mass surveilance” without understanding the legal avenues in which your data is extracted… you’ll just end up making room some other way while innoculating the tech illiterate public from how vulnerable their data still is.

    Remember, nobody thought there was mass surveilance in the US until Snowden leaked it… Even then, the tech illiterate do not understand how it is EXACTLY a runaround of the fourth amendment.
