I'd like to say this code is bad, but it's nothing compared with what I put up with on a daily basis.

And with different banks.

Really just a credit card with a different institution is enough to see you through something like this.

Yeah, we have 30 minute standups, and they often overrun. We don't, on the other hand, have grooming or estimation sessions or retros. The result is that the same issues plague us each sprint, not least badly defined stories ending up in the sprint.

The pound is still with us, however I agree using the Euro makes more sense.

Indeed, the app, while nicely implemented, contained nothing groundbreaking.

Is that the same Homer Simpson who has a highly skilled job in the nuclear industry, earning well above the median.

Yes, typically 30, 40, 50, 60 and 90.

If I'm not mistaken, this is not some special power Royal Mail has. In the UK, anyone can launch a prosecution.

In fairness, the US would be idiotic to renege on their assurances. That essentially would be a valid reason to block any future extraditions.

Saying that, we live in strange times where countries like the UK, which always used to play by the rules, albeit the ones they wrote, now backs out of treaties where the ink is barely dry.

There is already a mechanism suitable for your Facebook example use-case, namely publishing to an exchange which will send the message to multiple queues.

Good point, I think they've borrowed the terminology from goldbugs without really understanding it.
