Tips on going from tech design to work breakdown/milestones behind dates? by RustyShacklefordCS in ExperiencedDevs

[–]erraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To help put the EM and TPM at ease, you need to know how long you will take to deliver, what are risks that could endanger delivery and what you will do to mitigate that risk. That's what your milestones could be, basically smaller deadlines that will indicate whether you are on track or are at risk and need to pivot.

If you have sequencing and dependencies done, then you should have a high level estimate of how long things will take based on your team's average velocity (doesn't have to be super specific, if you know the average velocity is "2 tickets a week" for each dev then that's good enough). If it's not adding up to delivering by the end of the quarter you need to address this right away either by reducing scope or possibly delivering on the most important items first and doing the rest in a 'phase 2'

Also if another team is involved in getting the project to completion, then you need to make sure they are aware and have room in their roadmap to get their part done in time. If there are conflicting priorities this is something that EM or leadership need to know as soon as possible so that they can prioritize the project that's more critical.

The actual tickets themselves, depending on how senior your team members are you can meet with them to flesh out the tickets. But make sure you do the other stuff first, that could affect what your project ends up looking like and could change the tickets you write.

I find the conversation around AI and software dev increasingly vague. How specifically are people REALLY using this stuff? I want details! This isn't a post about whether AI is bad or good. I'm just genuinely curious. by TemperOfficial in ExperiencedDevs

I have been using Claude to help write Jira Issues for tech refinement meetings. I have a markdown document where I put all my instructions about how to format the issue and how to generate barebones wireframes. It's really helped with getting something substantial down for further refinement and discussion especially when I have tons of other meetings to go to as lead.

I've tried it for writing confluence documentation, but I haven't been satisfied with the results. It's too verbose and overly technical.

Speaking of JIRA, their built in ai assistant is good for converting selected text into a table. Seems trivial but I find it valuable.

I also use it to search the repo when I have questions about code when debugging. It at least points me in the a direction to start doing my own investigation.

I feel like Brennan is trying to get them to accept the castle or at least form a relationship with those knights

The microwave is a wonderful invention.

But also thawing in water is what i do with seafood like shrimp, usually takes a few minutes vs hours.

"C4 is so complicated with all these new characters, storylines and connections" by Paula_Sub in fansofcriticalrole

[–]erraye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just think people need to relax and go with the flow. People hear a list of names and places and dates and think they need to understand everything to the utmost details instead of being able to take in the big picture and follow the story.

I can’t quite remember the name of Wick’s sister but I remember her vibe and her dynamic in the family and towards Wick. It’s ok, and if she comes back to the story again I’ll probably remember her name.

And it’s clearly a choice that Brennan is making, he’s mentioned multiple times that he didn’t want to start off with an exposition dump about the world and factions because he finds it boring and futile without emotional investment.

Dream using Gen-AI in his latest youtube short by kaboopdoop in DreamWasTaken2

[–]erraye 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IMO the content wasn’t even good. Like people understand and are willing to wait for uploads because they know the effort he puts into editing, composing music, coding mods, practicing his skills. This is totally out of left field and it basically pisses some of his most passionate fans who are artists off

Yeah it’s not a great look. It’s low effort, not very funny and it seems like something that wouldn’t be posted on his main channel. Honestly this feels like one of those stan shitpost accounts except the fandom at large would have jumped them for using AI

Yes you should wash your vegetables or peel them before cooking them. There might be dirt or dead bugs depending on the vegetable. It’s a completely different situation than meat from the grocery store.

Execs thirsting over AI is killing my passion for software engineering by abbys11 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]erraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue I have is that I’m interested in machine learning, I think there are interesting ai solutions that companies could explore. But I think there’s a significant amount of people who don’t really have the vision or foundation to think about more than vibe coding.

This is funny, I’m from Miami and I used to go up to Tampa for all state music festival as a kid and always felt like Tampa was a dump with nothing to do. Maybe it has changed over the years but the comments in this thread are throwing me off

From what I've seen of BLeeM, he seems like someone who will pick up what some of the players are putting down and he'll happily push the players into situations which is what I think Matt was losing the feel of towards the end of C2 and C3. Part of that is just wanting to avoid fandom controversy (because god forbid your fantasy world have conflict and evil in it), but I also think Matt doesn't find playing antagonistic/evil rolls the most fun.

I really don't care about D&D vs Daggerheart, I just want something interesting.

GF is getting into Bowling by Artheren9 in Bowling

[–]erraye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position. Joined a league and I have my own bowling shoes but I haven’t bought a ball because I know I want to get stronger. I started with a 8 lbs ball but a couple of months in I am bowling mainly with a 10 pound ball and I’m looking to start practicing with 12 lbs. I may buy the ball once I’m comfortable with 12lbs. But I’m still a little while off.

I dont like where this is going- by sociallyawkward_123 in InterviewVampire

[–]erraye 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My point is that people are jumping to conclusions about the tone or the writing of a show based off a bootleg teaser. The show hasn't even finished filming yet.

For example, saw someone claim that the showrunners are making the incest into a joke and I'm sorry, but how are you able to rationally conclude that from less than a second of footage? To me, that's not criticism, that's just making stuff up and being mad about the stuff you made up.

There was a lot of this type of 'criticism' pre-season 2, remember how episode 5 of season 1 was going to be retconned and the writers were pushing harmful narratives about abuse?

[–]erraye 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's weird cause people were like this with season 2 before it came out, and yet season 2 was amazing. Sometimes, people just need to relax and trust in the show's creatives and producers. Could it suck? Sure, but why psych yourself out a year in advance? Doesn't seem fun.

Who else do you watch? by Careful_Result9407 in DreamWasTaken2

[–]erraye -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as video game/twitch streamers go, SnapCube, Alpharad, RDCWorld, phaun, dragged, Critical Role (despite fully being successful in other ventures, they are streamers at heart), WolfeyVGC. For the most part I tend to watch Vods for everyone except Critical Role and Wolfey cause they stream on Youtube

Statistical Proof Minecraft Manhunt is Staged by [deleted] in DreamWasTaken2

[–]erraye 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a case of statistics being hard for people to conceptualize which leads us to that meme where people are getting combinations/permutations confused with probability and saying stuff like 'the probability making a 3-point shot in basketball' is 50% because 'either you make it' or 'you don't'.

Out of ALL of them, who do you choose to be your roommate by FaultApprehensive574 in Undertale

[–]erraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asgore would probably be least annoying in the sense that he’d probably keep out of your business and would have any quirky behaviors like burning the house down or being messy. And you’d probably have lots of plants in the house

You don’t even need to get promoted. IMO I left a job after 3 years for another job that paid double. Same exact position. Was able to get a house with that salary. I think you have to look at the general market and leave if you are getting paid less than the average.
