To be a rock, and not to roll

@thomaslight Eso, y pon atención a los boosts (rt) que tus follow van haciendo

@thomaslight Coloca tu dirección de mastodon en la Bio de Twitter, así he ido recolectando gente. Ya mi timeline allá esta bien parecida (mejor) a lo que hay por aca

@damienguard Each one of those is a role, the more experienced the developer, in general, the more roles she can successfully fulfill at a time. I don't like labeling the several possible combinations.

Dear @MiroHQ team, your product is fantastic and I love it to death, but please stop using the what's new for newsletter stuff. Thanks.

There's ONE THING I see time and again, holding back the agility of orgs & teams. I see this in places years into an #AgileTransformation... For a deeper explanation, watch the full video on YouTube: ⇨ youtu.be/fzqEHwXVpKQ ⇦ #Agile #ScaledAgile #BusinessAgility

Agile has nothing to do with forced meeting schedules & agendas, fixed team roles, backlogs & backlog management, estimation (even sloppy estimation like points), burn-down charts, twice the work, half the time. Any process that does that & claims it makes you Agile is snake oil.

@daslaf No he escuchado ese disco en más de 15 años y probablemente lo podria cantar de memoria nota a nota.

I have never seen an actually agile shop adopt SAFe (or any "Scaled Agile" framework) as they grew. They've scaled, lower case. (E.g. Spotify's up to ~1,000 devs), but what they do looks nothing at all like what the hucksters call "Scaled Agile." "Scaled Agile" is snake oil.

@pedrogk "Personas e interacciones por sobre procesos y herramientas"

Bajo el pretexto de ser ágil, las orgs que desdeñan procesos pierden la capacidad de que personas jr y trainees puedan contribuir (y crecer internamente), generando así una sobredependencia de Srs. Y esto se agudiza en el contexto de trabajo desde casa.

Habría sido bonito, pero Chile es de verdad y no solo un ideal romántico. La democracia está intacta. Toca seguir protegiendola y buscar alternativas para mejorar lo urgente.

There is NO SUCH THING as a "technical *user* story." A user story is a story that your user tells to you. It describes your user's work, not yours. "Story" is not a code word for "some random programmer task." Tech is an implementation detail for a story, not itself a story.

El ñuñuki aparte de feo es inseguro

There is no "product team" in an Agile shop. There is just a dev team that makes product decisions as they work. A product silo is a waterfall phase. You can't sluff that work off onto somebody else. That's not to say product experts don't get together occasionally & discuss.

"mutation"

RIP Kathleen Booth, who Invented the first assembly language. She was 100 years old, and I have not seen anything in the news about it, unfortunately. With her husband, they formed the smallest computer group in the UK. Respect!

Oh no! #Miro just introduced an "estimation" feature that assigns Fibonacci numbers to stickies. @MiroHQ, please please please do not turn Miro into Jira! We don't need another tool that promotes dysfuntion.

@jpiquer Escucho un podcast llamado Security Now (de los viejos que aún hacen) en donde hace poco repasaron el tema y concluyeron: "IPV6 será siempre una tecnología del futuro, a pesar que hoy todo está listo para usarla, IPs V4 sigue n vendiendo mejor y mejor"

(he visto preguntas sobre versión 1, 2 y 3 y, claro, 5. Todas existieron, pueden googlearlas, pero no es muy entretenido el resultado)

En "la consulta del Dr Jo" comenzamos con el primer hilo explicativo de la increíble y triste historia de IPv6, el nuevo protocolo de Internet, que era nuevo hace 20 años y que ha dejado en ridículo mis predicciones todo este tiempo.

Hoy hice practica de soldadura de SMDs por primera vez. Nada mal para haber tomado 4 tazas de café hoy...
