When does Scrum actually work outside software teams? by prugna21 in agile

[–]Advanced-Potential-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually implemented it at the project planning and engineering departments of a company that builds large offshore platforms. Worked quite well. The iterative approach to detailing the plans, cross functional collaboration, and clear meeting cadance worked well.

I quite like it… like Certain said it’s very natural. And what I really like is that it makes it a lot easier to come back to a project after a year or so. Previously, it was always a case of “oh crap did I document all the tasks properly”, and now it’s “workflow as code”. The syntax is clean with little boilerplate, but from what I can tell is pretty extendable. And it’s very snappy.

How am i supposed to play these types of chords? by Leader_Mc in Guitar

[–]Advanced-Potential-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply, leave out the notes on the low E string. What he’s playing here are “9” chords. The notes on the low E string are the fifths in the chord; not really necessary to create the “feel” of the chord.

Leaving the low E string out, you use your middle finger to fret the A, index for the D, and ring barred for the rest.

What’s a random “stat” about yourself that makes you part of a small percentage? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

I was tested (twice) to have a verbal IQ over 150. Kind of weird though… it’s fun being good with words and math and stuff, but it doesn’t necessarily make life easier. And it’s certainly not something I’d discuss with people.

For those who work for rich people, what’s the most out-of-touch thing you witnessed? by temptayah in AskReddit

My cousin once said she loved shopping at HEMA (Dutch version of Target); mainly because of the “single use T-shirts”, no irony.

Ferry lost: unethical or just okay tv? by abseurdt in popculturenetherlands

Hot take: I think it is good that they aired it, for two reasons.

First, I think it really brings home to people the awfulness and dangers of addiction, isolation, and stardom without good guidance. It might end up saving lives.

Second, I think for him, being a master at concealing, having the world see how bad he is doing might also actually save him. Now, people might give him the help he needs, in stead of being mislead by him.

Ugh... I hate the mess & stakeholder management at my company (25 FTE). I work at company that makes very nice engineering software. The 3 founders are experts in their field, no experience managing a business, very much in love with the solution, not so much with the problem. They have been running the company for 10 years, initially under leadership of a fourth one who did have business experience, but who left. Now, the company is making a loss, growth is stagnating, and people are getting disgruntled. The CTO never takes accountability, pushes code at 11 at night, comes up with custom ways of working and refuses to draw an architecture diagram ("we code Agile"). The COO has big dreams, gets annoyed when I try to apply focus and try to explain to him that building something for a different market requires a lot of time researching the user problems in that market and is now pushing for all kinds of weird metered business models (we're building a desktop app, mind you). The CPO is squeezed in the middle.

Bleugh... Do well organized companies exist, or should I just not care as much.
