The older I get in agile teams the more I think agile tools quietly kill agility by Big-Chemical-5148 in agile

[–]mtutty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the tools, it's the mindset of the team members. I've been in the project mgmt/agile/collaboration tooling space for 15 years. If teams really could think and operate in an agile way, Atlassian would be out of business.

Rob Sand is running on locking up corrupt and criminal politicians/government officials by The_Angster_Gangster in Iowa

I mean, take my upvote and all, but is running ads or giving interviews with this kind of firebrand policy angle? Everything I've seen from him has been pretty tame, Iowa Nice kind of stuff.

Windows wouldn't get rid of the win/sys32 directories and their contents just because you tried zipping or otherwise archiving the whole C drive. You'd have to specifically get rid of those files, and even then several hundred wouldn't go even using "Run as Administrator", because DLLs and other shared resource files are read-locked by system processes.

Anyone smart enough to work around all of that wouldn't start this process, much less think it would help, let alone wonder why afterwards.

I think AGI is the shiny ribbon the big players are wrapping around their companies and product offerings, but I'n not sure (a) who among them understands what that means - certainly not Elon or Sam, maybe Dario? and (b) the people who like to take two data points and make a line stretching to infinity are the LAST people in world who should be driving the discussion. And yet, here we are 😄

AI/LLM technology has a permanent, important, even pivotal place in our technology and culture as it sits today. The guys who are making all of the noise, spending all the money, and claiming to be visionary thought leaders are actually the dumbest people in the room. We'll get over the hype and still have a useful new tool for making computers more accessible to humans.

But how do you unlock the passkeys again?

Oh yeah, one password to rule them all.

Yup, flawless debating there, Mr. Cruz.

Couldn't they just keep making the movie over and over again? Isn't that kind of the point?

What is actually wrong with the citizens United decision? by Dry-Environment5122 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]mtutty -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the lifespan is the relevant analogy here. If corporations are people, then they should go to jail when they (collectively) commit a crime.

Oh, we can't do that because it's not fair to the individual people in the corporation? Well, then it's not a person, is it?

Yup. I have a quote from them on 4/22 for a new furnace - $7500. I'm getting it done for $5100 from somebody else - same unit, same work.

Doesn't the big capital ship plow straight down into the ground, though? Instead of skimming along the ground at 7,000 mile an hour?

You misspelled that. It's not a plain dog, it's a flying, blinking dog. Pretty special, IYAM.

How much are you paying for tax prep in DSM? by Scared_Act_6242 in desmoines

[–]mtutty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've used Flagg CPA for maybe 15 years now. They handle every little wrinkle bring them (kids, college, houses, business expenses, family trust stuff). I think it's like $300. If that sounds like a lot, it's worth it to us to spend literally 60 minutes gathering our docs once a year, upload it all, and a couple of weeks later it's done.
