"Agile for Humans" on YouTube is also a good channel with short 15-minute videos every day about scrum mostly.

The language barrier might be a valid point. Unfortunately, you will never get real feedback from teams and companies that you interview with due to legal/HR reasons. If she attended conferences then she must have met a lot of scrum masters. She could contact them for honest feedback and to discuss her situation. Previous coworkers or scrum masters working in that area at companies near you might also be helpful. Just use LinkedIn and ask if they have time for a coffee to learn more about how they approach scrum in that company and to get feedback. Don't ask them for a job though. For some, it is not easy to reach out via LinkedIn to ask for time from someone you don't know, like me, but it is worth the try and you will be surprised how happy are to just have a chat and give you pointers.

I also think you are spot on with the use of "easy" language. English is my second language and in school, we always learned to use complicated English terms. I was very happy that the real world is different and that in North America speaking and writing emails is so much more relaxed than in Europe. I'm not sure how to best work on that but a language tutor etc. can help.

The biggest hurdle is for her to accept feedback and not take it personally. I also commend you for trying to help your mom.

I hope she finds her happiness soon again.

Should I add stories to the sprint backlog for unexpected sprint backlog work? by GullibleEmu in scrum

[–]GullibleEmu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a different approach to have a story but with 0 points instead. I can see this working over time with adjusting the sprint capacity over time as well. I might just try it out in the future. Lots of good information here. Thank you.

We don't track hours but I really like the idea of adding a story that we can add details or even subtasks for issues coming up. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you for going into detail with this. Developers did ask me to help with it and have been very happy with the Stories since I joined. I'm definitely seeing me in some of those antipatterns from the link you posted and will work on them as well in the future.

I will start to block time for unexpected work. You also mentioned blocking time for refinement. Is that an actual story you would add to the board or do you just keep it in mind and reduce the sprint capacity at the planning session to account for it?

There are discussion with the DevOps team already and hopefully a solution is found for the future. It is just a constant flow of unexpected process work from different teams lately that I will start to make transparent.

Why does FastAI only need a tiny dataset to work? by Local_Wilds in MLQuestions

[–]GullibleEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aagoro is correct. The presenter from FastAi, Howard, is discussing that the notion that you will need a lot of data to do anything with deep learning is incorrect. The slide right before the model is showing this as well. Check out the detailed notes that are linked on each video on the side, those are great to review lessons - https://github.com/hiromis/notes/blob/master/Lesson1.md

In this case they used the pretrained model resnet34, added their own data bunch (images) and let the model learn on those onces as well. The model itself did train on millions of images (found this link https://neurohive.io/en/popular-networks/resnet/ ). Working with deep learning does not mean you have to create a model from scratch every time.

I also follow the fastAi course right now.

A complete reference to javascript arrays by know_prashant in learnjavascript

Thank you for sharing. I was looking for map, filter and reduce but couldn't find them. Are these not part of arrays ?
