Nobody likes being wrong is more apt

What store has an isle? Like one of those chain surf shops, Alvin’s Island? Or did like Wal Mart the company buy a private Virgin Island?

It’s literally just describing scrum and agile processes as if they were reporting on a cult/religion and its rituals. The bit at the end about it still being waterfall development with rituals actually got me pretty good lol

The issue I had with using it for code is that the scrolling in the video seemed pretty bad, which is pretty essential for it. Would love an e ink monitor dedicated to code/terminals, so I’ll be waiting to grab one when the frame rate’s a bit better. Also, in some of the footage of them writing in Word looks like there’s a decent amount of burn-in. I’d do it for $2k today if it had better frame rate for scrolling/typing and much less burn-in.

Go to a local business, steal the bowl of business cards for a free dinner raffle, and start an immortalized game of connect 4 in your door.

Na, they’ve got managed forests and it’s fine. Your comment had me google to see and it’s actually pretty interesting.

I think they just stare at it, hoping the vulnerabilities come to them in a moment of revelation. A Linux Joseph Smith, the kernel playing the part of the Golden Plates.

I think they’re using definition three from Merriam-Webster

lol i was more or less just remarking on the fact that yes mainframe and other legacy apps are pretty old, however that does not mean that they’re necessarily worse than a modern implementation

I had to do some legacy app modernization for one of the largest telecoms companies in the US, and their mainframe system and the UI, while ugly, performed so much faster than the modern approach.

Given, we weren’t the most talented team out there, but rendering the UI on the server side was unmatched in performance versus what we could get out of a web browser. I was the UI guy so I didn’t really touch mainframe side, but it was wild to me that they made this system like 30 years ago and it worked so much better than our modern implementation
