Agile SHOULD have a lot of the things 'traditional' management looks for! Though so many, including many college teachers I've heard, think of it way too strictly.

It's just the time scale shrinks as necessary for specific deliverable goals instead of the whole product... instead of having a design for the whole thing from top to bottom, you start with a good overview and implement general arch to service what load you'll need. Then you break down the tasks, and solve the problems more and more and yadda yadda...

IMO, the people that think Agile Development means only implement the bare minimum ... are part of the complete fucking idiot portion of the industry.

Fuck man, why don't more ethical-ish devs join to make stuff? What's the missing link on top of easy sharing like FOSS kinda' already has?

Obviously programming is a bit niche, but fuck... how can ethical programmers come together to survive under capitalism? Sure, profit sharing and coops aren't bad, but something of a cultural nexus is missing in this space it feels...

Nah. You are assuming a red blood cell is a common size. It'd be like aliens coming to Earth, seeing Humans, and assuming life's average scale is that of a human on this planet.

There is a MASSIVE scale of difference between cells of different animals. Some cells can be seen with the naked eye. That doesn't magically mean other animal cells have to also be large.

There are entire living organisms that are smaller than Titin. Several species of eukaryotes are smaller than Titin, and they're single celled orgsnisms by definition. A single celled organism smaller than a human blood cell by an order of magnitude.

That says nothing of prokaryotes, which are also celled organisms that are multiple orders of magnitude smaller still.

Again, it's amazing only because you assume humans aren't fucking insanely huge. An understandable perspective for sure, but a wrong perspective none the less.

Exactly. I don't know why I'm being downvoted for describing the thing we all agree happens...

I don't blame the students for not being seasoned professionals. I clearly blame the executives that constantly replace seasoned engineers with fresh hires they don't have to pay as much.

Then everyone surprise pikachu faces when crap is the result... Functionally idiots is absolutely correct for the reality we're all staring at. I am directly part of this industry, so this is more meant as honest retrospective than baseless namecalling. What happens these days is idiotry.

Again, it is amazing ... but because we cannot fathom how big it still is.

I'd give you a Vulkan, "neat, curious even, but not mind blowing", as to what I mean a truly aware response would be.

It's neat, but if you're aware of the developmental stages of even just human babies, it's really not surprising nor unique as to how small something with such differentiated parts is.

Probably because all the dummies are finally realizing it's a fucking stupid slogan that's constantly being misinterpreted from what it's supposed to mean. lol (as if the dummies even realize it has a more logical interpretation...)

Now if only they would complete the maturation process and realize all of the tech bro bullshit runs counter to good engineering or business...

It would depend entirely on how it was phased out. If it's straight up now totally illegal, they'd have to shut down or change product. If it's just becoming a restricted chemical, they'd have to attain licenses or some other form of permission and likely find new customers since I doubt you'd be able to sell to the general public.

I'm sure there are good and bad examples of how governments handled it all throughout history... Even recent history. Which country had the dumbass that basically made extrajudicial and vigilante killings of drug dealers legal? If such a turn happened for my product in such a country, I'd be closing up shop pretty fast if my product was made illegal...

Cocaine itself would likely be more under the "just shut down" side, since refining plants and stuff is a bit less transferrable of a skill/process than, say, chemistry skills and tools for cooking meth. Though that's an assumption, because I don't know the process! Maybe it'd be easy to switch to a different product.

Well, it's also stupid to use RAM size as an indicator of a machines CPU load capability...

Definitely sending off some tech illiterate vibes.

Definitely part of it. The other part is soooo many companies hire shit idiots out of college. Sure, they have a degree, but they've barely understood the concept of deep logic for four years in many cases, and virtually zero experience with ANY major framework or library.

Then, dumb management puts them on tasks they're not qualified for, add on that Agile development means "don't solve any problem you don't have to" for some fools, and... the result is the entire industry becomes full of functionally idiots.

It's the same problem with late-stage capitalism... Executives focus on money over longevity and the economy becomes way more tumultuous. The industry focuses way too hard on "move fast and break things" than making quality, and ... here we are, discussing how the industry has become shit.

Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They're better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops ...

What about Manson Lamps?

What is that? Chicken noodle soup with gelatin crafted in to a jello dog/thing?
