Nah. It doesn’t say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don’t let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

I’m sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It’s not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don’t pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

Don’t overthink it

I was expecting something more profound. Isn’t this just the concept of using variables to keep code readable? Not a new concept and likely one most devs learn early on.

So that you can self host I think

Reassignment isn’t the same as mutation. But mutation depends on the type of value. If gender was a string like “female” it wouldn’t be mutable cuz strings are immutable in JS.

• TDD (red-green-refactor)
• Dependency injection
• Focusing/skipping tests
• Minimize stubbing (only stub when you have to, and stub closest to the edge of the system)
• Use rollback or other data cleanup strategy. Ensure tests don’t leave data leftovers.
• Test the behavior, not the implementation. Don’t stub and spy so much that refractors to the source code with an equivalent implementation break the test or require extensive refractors to pass again.

We don’t deserve risa

i hate how popular it’s become to hate on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

I completely agree, but the inverse is also true:

I hate how popular it’s become to depend on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

Honestly the article is actually dissing the people, not the technology. It’s about a dude who has no other contributions to society just wanting to absorb in AI tech and rely on it for literally everything.

I’m an AI enthusiast, but I absolutely do not have the same perspective on it being used in that way. To me, they are picking on a subculture of incel/antisocial humans who want to use AI as a crutch, which doesn’t really make any sense, which is why they’re idiots.

That said I think you may be right about the strawman. I mean, I personally haven’t met anyone obsessed with AI like the onion dude is described. Could be a made up persona, but with the way tech companies are going I don’t think so.

I feel like this is inevitable with any new tech. Social media, cryptocurrency, instant messaging, the Internet itself. ML is the new kid that people want to use any way possible to make money, until they realize as you said it can only help in so many situations.

More often than not a nice sql query and some programming gets the job done.

I don’t think it’ll stay this way forever, just a lot of annoying hype atm, but I don’t fault the technology itself for that.

I actually did an ML project at my job, much to my chagrin, to develop a chat app that lets us ask questions about our product.

It actually turned out really cool and was dead simple to implement. Now our employees (customer service team esp) can ask questions with a “trust but verify” approach to solve customer problems and surface information quickly. Saves a lot of time otherwise spent sifting thru documentation and support articles.

Maybe you understand but where does “risa” come from? I googled and it said it’s a place from star Trek Discovery. Why was it picked for this community name?

Explain?

What if it’s a portal between the two points in time and space and the crew are really staring at each other thru the portal?

My wife and I use Spotify premium. The ability to play music thoughout the house is so nice, plus I use the Spotify DJ almost exclusively to give me music cuz it’s less time than managing my own playlists.

I don’t think I’ve used the lyrics feature once. If I want prices I just google

Browser compatibility. Design flaws can’t easily be fixed like how other languages can just switch to a new major version and introduce breaking changes. ES must keep backwards compatibility so has had to do more additive changes than replacing behavior altogether so that older web pages pages don’t break.

I absolutely love using git on the command line. I’m comfortable with the commands, and there isn’t much need for clicking since a lot of it is just typing commands, viewing files/diffs, repeat until files are staged, committed, and pushed up. Who needs a GUI for that?

OTOH, I really like postman for constructing and templating network requests. There are a few helpful panes and forms that just fit better on one screen that I can interact with.

To say working with GUIs makes someone a worse engineer sounds very short sighted to me. IMO the best engineers are the ones who use tools that maximize their efficiency.

“I was just trying to install this bloatware but now that I’m forced to provide feedback about software I didn’t want in the first place, I’m now going to uninstall all of your software and no longer be your customer.”

That’s what I would say

I believe index for the classical need to iterate through an array. E.g.

for (i = 0; I <= arr.length; i++) { var thing = arr[i] … }

So to me it stands for “index” for array lookup.

Before map and iterators were implemented in a lot of languages, this was the defacto way to iterate a list. At least this is how I learned it in java/c back in the day. Nowadays I think most OOP languages including java have implemented the “for … in …” Syntax or similar which deprecates this convention.

I literally would not work for a company if they made me do story points.

We do have a scope rule which is intentionally ambiguous, but the idea is a ticket ought not take more than 3 days, and some can be quicker. We expect the average time to meet our velocity and prioritize accordingly. If an effort seems like it will take longer we try to divide it into smaller tickets.

There may be like 5 tickets a year where this doesn’t hold true and we are ok with it. Nothing to be religious about.

The other issue is the amount of points it is totally depends on who does the work! It’s a garbage system to estimate work. Makes people think they have some sort of idea that is more misleading and harmful than just saying “I don’t know exactly but you can expect it to get done promptly because we’ve taken proper steps to analyze and break down the work to be bite sized and delivered consistently.”
