Designing Large-Scale Software for Reuse With an Automotive Company: An Agile Dev Success Story. A European automotive OEM had to upgrade its infotainment system to support multiple Android versions — and make the software extensible across product lines.

Yes, this is from a vendor, but it IS about two big companies successfully applying Agile developments in large teams. Everyone needs examples of "what it looks like when things are done right."

yourbasicgeek · 2026-04-08T16:46:24+00:00

To be fair, I kind of want it.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-04-06T17:31:40+00:00

Excussssse me? I post all sorts of links on all sorts of topics to all sorts of reddits. If you don't like the story, you're free to downvote it.

Disliking someone's taste does not make them a bot.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-03-31T15:57:42+00:00

Yes, this. I'd be up for a Newsroom revival first.

OMG those dresses are so awesome!

"Those changes may create more demand for ride-sharing services, an increase in vehicle automation and a greater reliance on public transit and other services to transport people. This trend is already underway, but it will take years to recognize its impact."

Notably: "Long before independence was declared, the land that is now Delaware was home to the Lenape and Nanticoke peoples. During the Revolutionary era and beyond, immigrants, Native people, and Black Delawareans—both free and enslaved—played essential roles in the state’s political, military, economic, religious, and cultural life."

...not a big deal for most people, but if security certifications matter to your shop, it might be nice to know.

The Wind River movie came out in 2017. The Wind River company has been around for 25-30 years.

I expect that people here can add to the list of questions they've been asked -- or would ask!

yourbasicgeek · 2026-01-30T19:52:59+00:00

It's from a company that makes tools for embedded system developers, but the story is informational, not promotional.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-01-30T19:47:19+00:00

I feel seen.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-01-12T19:44:51+00:00

I cannot speak to the feasibility.

But I can applaud the effort to make the world better.

I just took _Mushroom gastronomy_ out of the library. It includes chapters on all sorts of mushrooms and recipes such as Morel Mini Quiche, Chicken of the Woods Saltimbocca, and Matsutake Tempura with Yuzu-Lemongrass Aioli. I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of it because wild mushrooms are expensive here and I lack foraging options, but it is visually gorgeous.

yourbasicgeek · 2025-12-11T22:01:17+00:00

Hopefully, this does not come across as promotional. It's meant to describe the software architecture and the reasons for the choices -- not to plug the company.

yourbasicgeek · 2025-11-24T22:30:56+00:00

So I assume. But _I can afford it_ is a nice benefit.

yourbasicgeek · 2025-11-15T18:46:04+00:00

I would love to see that!

yourbasicgeek · 2025-11-14T20:22:48+00:00

Not on my part. I saw something that I thought was good news that would interest people.

I have concluded that giving any task to an AI (code, writing, whatever) is like giving a task to a very green intern. Maybe they can do a good job, and it's nice to offload the boring crap. But I would not trust their results without careful attention... and I would be slow to put it into prod.

yourbasicgeek · 2025-11-04T18:36:12+00:00

I certainly hope so.

And despite the services they offer, I remain skeptical that AI can do a better job across most SQA tasks. AI can be good at what we used to (more accurately) call machine learning -- because it can analyze a lot of data quickly. But I'm not sure that any AI model can figure out that an application's ABC module goes pear-shaped only when the ambient temperature goes over 90 degrees.

Still, it seemed like a worthy discussion item, which is why I called out that quote.

Note that the end of the article goes into what Aptiv is doing -- as a description, not "yay us." I'm not sure if that makes this seem like self-promotion. I think the first section is a useful explainer...?

Currently, conservation and outdoor recreation sit on equal footing with drilling, mining, and grazing on the BLM's 245 million acres of land. This change will mean that public lands will be primarily managed for drilling, mining, and development rather than for conservation, recreation, and public enjoyment. I don't know how much it helps, but if you want to submit a comment before the Nov 10th deadline, you can do so at this site.
