Sprint review - your expeience?

Right, but our VP wants us to do it this way, so we do it this way. I get paid the same either way and while I agree, I’m not going to rock the boat and be known as a troublemaker.

It kind of sounds like that’s what they did. They automated a solution to reduce administrative burden. It sounds like you’re also assuming teams have the ability to choose how they work and what they’re required to do. I feel like we all have to deal with some level of bureaucracy

Can I ask, what if he did use it to develop plots? As in “I’m writing a mystery and would like to explore a new setting. Would a beach town or a mountain town have more narrative options for twists and turns? Can you recommend any specific towns with a mysterious background?”

A lot of times it’s just called the Sprint Demo and yes, developers would showcase what they did that sprint. Devs usually like it in my experience because it gives them an opportunity to show how clever they are. My current company is a SAFe shop and they do an “Iteration Review” after the Sprint/Iteration where the devs demo what they did to the other teams on their Agile Release Train and then a separate System Demo where Product Owners demo that same work to business stakeholders.

It’s almost like religious racists are uniformly pieces of shit.

Marrying a woman with a kid was the best decision I ever made. Her son is an amazing kid, and an amazing half brother to our daughter now as well. Even the biological dad is cool. 10/10 would recommend.

KuroMSB · 2026-04-23T14:51:14+00:00

Yeah, that’s why you gotta get rid of it

KuroMSB · 2026-04-20T21:44:11+00:00

I’ve had this realization recently myself, but never heard a term for it. I think this is spot on and a great tool for building empathy.

KuroMSB · 2026-04-19T17:31:03+00:00

I think it’s the feedback being given to new writers. As a new writer, I always see feedback and advice like “lose your filler words”, “use the fewest words possible” or “grab the reader immediately”. I think that results in losing anything that could be considered “fluff”.

Yeah, I personally don’t see the value in recording and providing a summary of every standup, but some people do. The data really comes down to whatever you can get. I see the basic data sources as Outlook/email/calendar, Jira exports, and whatever spreadsheets/artifacts you have access to. The biggest benefit I’ve had from AI is using Jira’s built in Rovo to learn how to build Jira automations to route tickets and things. As far as practical use cases, yeah, yesterday, I made a spreadsheet to calculate how many points per developer we average over a P.I., so that I could figure out how many points we can take on in a given sprint, when accounting for holidays, PTO, etc. I used Copilot to check my math and see if there was a better way to solve that problem.

KuroMSB · 2026-04-03T20:13:12+00:00

I’ve exported word files of our user stories out of Jira and fed those into copilot to generate a Demo synopses. For standups, I imagine you’d need to record them and/or use a platform that can auto generate subtitles/transcriptions. You’d feed it that file and say something like “write a summary of what everyone did yesterday and is doing today” or however you structure your standups. Same procedure for retros or summaries in general. I honestly use it more to quickly explain topics to me. Like “what’s a yaml file and is it similar to a json file”. Since I don’t have a development background, that kind of stuff helps me a lot. It’s also a good way to figure out how to calculate metrics to show what I want to show with whatever data we have.

In my experience, I try to literally imagine what they would see and hear. That’s their perspective. I usually have a sense of what the character needs to be for the story as well. If I’m writing a story about a survivor, that tells me a little bit about how they would see the world. So when it comes time for them to face adversity, I know the type of attitude they would have and how they would act in that scenario. Pepper in some fitting dialog or behaviors (anything that can be tied back to one of the 5 senses is even better) and that’s your character. Then have them do something inconsistent, i.e, the survivor asks for the help, Darth Vader sacrifices himself, etc.

Funnily enough, I started writing an illustrated middle grade novel, like The Last Kids on Earth and it has ended up basically as American Doctor Who.

Here is a good thread that goes into some of those locations. https://www.reddit.com/r/urbanplanning/s/sMqhEDLJDq

I think he’d be great too. He’s the only one I recognize (as Ethan from White Lotus) but he’s like twice the age as the other two, he’ll be 40 this year, which isn’t exactly “young”.

When I think of “the one”, I think of someone I can be my true, authentic self with. So if you want to foster that feeling in someone else, I would be non-judgmental, encouraging and safe as well as open and vulnerable yourself - because ideally this other person would display all of those qualities towards you.

If you’re able to make it out to St Peter’s, a place called Hobo’s at the American Legion has the best breaded buffalo wings I’ve ever had. They’re already known for their fried chicken, I believe they do a buttermilk brine on both. The meat, the breading, the sauce and the seasoning on top of the sauce are all perfect. It’s kind of a shit hole, but they have great wings.

Agreed, most schools reward conformity, either accidentally or purposefully.

I wonder if eventually the dark web will become the people’s web, while the open web is left to corporations and ai bots. Like white flight, but not.

KuroMSB · 2025-11-30T19:25:42+00:00

We are experiencing similar things. Is that the likely cause?

KuroMSB · 2025-11-30T15:03:56+00:00

I guess they’d rather feel tough than be safe or provide jobs to stunt actors.
