The whole IT industry is one gigantic shitty compromise because there's too many making money from outdated and/or nefarious tech, spineless vendor-lockin profiteers and lazy employees hiding under dumb managers.

@adymitruk I agree whole heartedly with this!

I won't stop this until I see ridiculous practices disappear from mainstream systems automation. I'm already seeing standoff being removed in a lot of places.

Agile was made to counter an abused Waterfall - often called BDUF. That has not been the issue in the tech for decades now. No, agile didn't fix it - business failure did. What had helped is design. Whether it's @EventModeling or #dddesign or something else, it's not agile.

I'm about to work w/ Azure Service Bus and went to check on the existence of a local emulator, which of course doesn't exist: github.com/Azure/azure-se…. LocalStack for Amazon SQS is slow as molasses in my experience so far, so all told I think I'm still a Rabbit MQ fan.

Since we are here and I've had coffee on a fine Friday morning, let's count some specific reasons why you should Never Do Scrum

@JeremyCMorgan I’ve been running with the 980 Pro 2TB a couple months and it’s phenomenal how far we’ve come.

Pretty excited about this. It’s going to be a screamer. 2TB at 7000MB/second. Going to be my #Windows11 drive.

After 5 years of doing Boy Scouts pinewood derby cars, the father/son duo figure out the skills to build the fastest overall car. Winner, winner 🐔 dinner! instagram.com/p/CZVPmGVrWV0/…

Just because it's a remote gig doesn't mean it's flexible.

@engineering_bae Living that now in west TN. Yesterday, 70s…today sleet and snow.

I know it’s the new norm, but I’m really struggling to wrap my mind around the fact that it’s 63 degrees today and it’s going to snow tomorrow.

These were the songs I had on repeat this year. What were yours? #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/wrapped-2021/s…

Crazy!

I spent last week in my home town, in upstate NY, visiting family and friends for the holiday. This is one of my favorite spots to visit, a tree farm overlooking the Taconic Mountains.
