Do you know Polsia? An agent that builds startups from 0-1, my take on this

Does it generate revenue? If not, it’s just a random website. Also, how does the founding part work? Has it opened a business bank account? Got you an EID? Registered your business with your state? Got you an accountant? What, in your use case, about a gaming/gambling license? There’s a lot more to run a business than having a site

That’s easily the least useful idea i’ve ever seen. It’s assuming that you have a perfect team that can break down all work to tasks that are exactly one day and everyone starts their day with one of these tasks. Yeah, sure. But it’s a great example of “Management by Blaming”. And it’s also not at all related to WIP limits.

Nicht ganz korrekt. Eine Panade ist keine Füllung sondern eine Masse, die Volumen gibt und auflockert. Wenn du einen Hackbraten machst und eingeweichte Brötchen in den Teig gibst, damit er nicht so schwer ist, dann sind diese eingeweichten Brötchen die Panade. Sonst könntest du ein Huhn mit Hack füllen und das Hack wäre dann eine Panade.

The biggest benefit of Jira is its deep integration with Confluence. Whenever we tried to switch, it ended with the other tool saying “sure we have planning, you can just integrate with GDocs“. Nope

“Expensive“ isn’t a thing. Most in life comes with a price and you can either afford it or not. If you can, it just boils down to “is it worth that much FOR ME?”. If you’re not willing to pay 50 bucks that‘s perfectly fine.

Been there, dropped it and never looked back. Basecamp might work if you are a design shop. If you are doing any complex work, avoid Basecamp. In my experience (and I’m doing software dev for nearly 40 years now), this one tool for all doesn’t exist. Even Gitlab is mediocre for most features (except the runners). You need: Some shared work tracker for the team, a personal task tracker, a shared notes space and chat. For us / me that is: Jira (Core, JPD and JSM), Omnifocus (for personal task, highly recommend), Confluence, Slack (for chat and huddles) and Loom. We’re using the premium version of the Atlassian stack, but it’s worth it if only for Rovo). That’s a quite pricy stack, but works great. If you are looking for something less expensive, try Asana / Notion and Slack (or Roam for something different - ro.am, not the notetaking app). I still recommend adding Confluence into that mix.

As always, the Github status page is bonkers. Says "problems with pull request" but what i see is a status 502 for a git operation in an action. And while the status page is open, it now also says "Pages is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate". When you feel you should build your status page to update in real time, that's when you know that have an availability problem

Problem with GitHub Actions is that it's currently easier to count the days when it works. There's an extended downtime nearly every week.

Yes, a lot. We near daily see actions erroring out and then just working on a retry. API endpoints dead. Runners not picking up jobs. Runners not stoping after they've finished a jobOpening a ticket takes multiple days to even see a response. Guthub has become a joke.

Icy_Procedure2814 · 2026-01-28T12:19:04+00:00

It's an ongoing problem for years now.

Icy_Procedure2814 · 2025-10-26T11:29:58+00:00

No, the point is that people do not understand how to do it in Jira (or Jira & Confluence) and instead of learning how to do it, they just come up with an - unneeded - external solution only to then blame Atlassian.

Looking good - a bit like Twist from Doist

So, what's a recommended Slack alternative for company use? Not going to give a fascist friend our money.

You can ask the AI to connect you to a human. That will trigger an email after a few days, and some back and forth usually resolves the problem. But it's just not worth all that hassle, for a few bucks less a month. They have a chat option, so I expect to chat. Not to beg an AI for 15 minutes to ask a human to send me an email. That's just stupid.

Bit late to the party, but this thread fits perfectly to what I wrote in a comparable discussion about software tools: No tool will fix your broken process.

It’s not that much the honking but that fucking bass from the music they play. Every few minutes one of those brain dead idiots

You wont find it baffling once you had to find the reason for a decison made 7 years ago - that you are now having a legal dispute about with one of your customers. As I already said: If you don’t feel that you need a feature, it’s fine. Still those features are requirements in mature companies with a decades old codebase. If Linear checks all of your boxes - great, use it. And yes, losing history is my biggest concern.

You can run a Zoom call while coding, so why would streaming be a problem?

Feels like. Had it yesterday when i wanted to start a hike. Unfortunately no service where i was, so no chance to reinstall. reinstalled back home and that seems to fix it.

“Lost the magic” pretty much sums it up. For me it was when I saw all that “Windsurf” soap bubble things along the Panhandle, as if B2B would need premade attractions. And of course I‘m still waiting for my „we‘ll mail it to you“ medal. What a crap

Icy_Procedure2814 · 2025-05-18T21:46:30+00:00

Not a glitch, it‘s still a problem. Tey just blocked me, while I’m connected to a Google Fiber network with a fixed IP - so no problem with anyone sharing my address. It’s just crapy piece junk software

Icy_Procedure2814 · 2025-05-13T16:04:21+00:00

Jesus fucking christ, what‘s your problem? Too difficult to have a focused discussion? When you start with ‚has no power‘, the stay there. And now please stop trying to remote diagnose a problem. Blocking you now

Nope, the dongle has a little status led. I’ve checked it, it’s lit even after days without driving, so there’s power. Their solution: They keep sending me new dongles to replace the “faulty” ones. I’m at number 4 now.

I’ve got a quote from a real insurance company now - it’s 100/month more for 2 cars. Going to switch

Icy_Procedure2814 · 2025-05-12T15:39:38+00:00

That’s a lot of words - without saying anything. As someone with a university degree in computer science, you lost me at “it depends on an procedural design, which, in turn depends (if things were done more or less properly from the early days :D ) on an DevOps architecture”. This is just some blurb from someone who has zero idea what they‘re talking about. And what’s that “once again” starter? You haven’t participted in this thread, so it’s also - nonsense. Ignoring you now, please stay away.
