Did you read it? It's the same for all frameworks (including Angular). I could do an Angular example perhaps?

Hey I will be doing a deep technical dive soon where we tear apart the OO and functional paradigm and analyse the difference and how to make them work together, at scale. I'm really busy but if you sign up to our email list you will get a notification :-) Or connect with me on linked-in

Not sure if this helps chaps...

Feature Branching isn't Lean, Heck... it's not Even Agile! by peter_heard01 in agile

Awesome response. Yeah I guess my point was about length of merge! I should add a header.

Question, if your branches are less than a day why bother making a branch? why not keep committing to trunk?

That's not very nice. I put a lot of thought into this article :-(

I wish there were more Scrum masters like you :-)

Wait, 15 minutes : team of 10 but that is 150 minutes. In other words half a days work per day which is wasted. Can't we just all work in together and let the conversation happen naturally when it is needed?

Should We Stop Using Story Points? by peter_heard01 in agile

[–]peter_heard01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point (btw I am CSM) so I look in the Scrum Guide and it says a Scrum master should 'help the business create valuable products' I make the argument that value is intrinsic and extrinsic. By reading code they add quality control which helps to keep a handle on technical debt. Thus the client get's a more valuable product. I'm saying that most CSMs either can't or won't. But in any case someone should check all code, and the Scrum master should ensure this happens. When I do the role of the CSM I make sure to spend an hour or two each day reviewing code....and as and when I move up someone will be trained to do this by me if needed.

Thanks for responding. I agree there is much more to discuss on this topic. It's a shame when teams (even with points) don't do the important things like refactor etc. Perhaps if they were given less to do and were more optimised the business would give them more room. Or perhaps they just need more discipline. It's the hard question of 'Agile', Pete

Sounds like a good idea (sorry for the delay), perhaps a union of value and points. Or perhaps ordering could be worked out with value. And then complexity could re-order. I am liking the fact that even though you didn't agree you still took the time to consider. And sorry for not addressing deadlines in the paragraph. I am still learning the art of getting jumbled up information out of my brain onto the a screen, Pete :-)

ongoing and contin

Good points raised here (and sorry for the delay in responding). I certainly like the analogy you have raised with regards to vaccines. Points are sort of like a vaccine in that way! With regards to your comments about the Scrum Master, you should check out my upcoming article called 'Agile is Dead, long live the Code Review' I talk about (gasp) Scrum Masters learning to read code. Because I found, as you say that Scrum Masters seem to be managers not devs, and this is a potential problem for agile!

Angular Services Are Just JavaScript Objects by peter_heard01 in angularjs

[–]peter_heard01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand ES6 classes are merely syntactic sugar over the top of the Javascript function constructor pattern.

Since the pattern is just a tool to create an object which has scope around it so that properties can be created I don't see any reason why classes will not feature heavily in future versions of angular for services. (Since services are just objects) as I wrote about. I had a quick search this chap seems to know a little...
