In chrome it says "Loading assets, please wait..." and hangs. but it works for me in firefox

The scariest part of US internet dominance isn’t vendor lock-in, it’s executive branch chaos engineering.

I think the hardest part of estimation often gets glossed over: genuine technical unknowns. Not "we didn’t think hard enough," but cases where the work itself is exploratory.

Note taking is actually a big part of rocket science: Step 1. Take notes on rocket science Step 2. Discover and distill from notes the first principles that help decouple yourself from analog thinking Step 3. Engineer the most efficient rocket that can practically get you there

I appreciate any feedback on this demo, as well as on the broader concept. There are many little areas I have in mind to tweak and improve the model training. My hope is to further refine and improve, and eventually get this working on touch devices and Chromebooks—and just give it away for free.

I'm an IC and can't stand scrum. However I regularly work with teams that are steeped in it. It's not really an issue because I always choose my level of participation when working with one of the scrum teams.

If I think the level of process and granularity is overbearing I say "no thanks" and pull the "Individuals and interactions over process and tools". If there is one thing that I wish I would have learned earlier in my career is that it's really ok to say "no thanks".

Because I'm in a zoom meeting while reading hacker news.

yes, was wondering about this too

This hits home. Great way to learn on a little risk free side project, where you can pivot on a whim. This is how I like to learn.

Unfortunately at work we have SCRUM teams that practice this methodology religiously, but not on side projects. One team spent two months building a buggy functional wrapper around gRPC. When asked why- "We did it because it wasn't functional". The result is gobs of wasted cycles building overly complicated and abstracted garbage, and then further amortizing that over time with ongoing escalations.

I'm not sure how to help them gravitate away from shiny things to focus more on outcomes (simplicity, reliability, speed of delivery, meeting needs and creating value, etc..)

This. I know many folks who have a 30min - hour commute each way (pre-pandmaic). If they lived a bit closer, and spent that time walking to/from work instead of driving, there you go.

Wow yeah, this made my day! It's nice not waiting 10 seconds for a video I don't want to watch to auto start playing (just so I can stop it).
