Plus still have to contend with the space sharks.

Lo, behold how the beast doth roar! From the depths thereof it crieth aloud, saying, “Feed me.”

Oh, nevermind, it’s some MS dude.

I asked AI if “I asked AI, and it said” replies should be forbidden, and it said…

At a minimum, it can not find them faster!

As results are quantified by number of “prescriptions”, and 6 prescriptions of n pills at a given dosage presumably increase risk over 1 prescription of 6(n) pills, then they’ve clearly proven the risk factor is going to the pharmacy.

Saw it in Phoenix.

Definitely big.

Wouldn’t recommend for slap.

I would’ve expected better sarcasm detection from this audience.

But, since jokes are best explained:

The opening assertion is one that mimics the toilet hygiene practices of many, but recasts it in a scenario that the reader is likely to find repugnant and evoke a reaction.

The second statement draws the reader’s attention back to the topic at hand, with that fresh strong feeling.

The reader may then make the connection that if “a few wipes with paper towel” is not good enough in scenario A, then the argument is that it is not enough in scenario B.

Others would downvote.

If you get feces on your hands, a few wipes with paper towel is good enough.

Why do we need something fancier for a toilet?

Chimps strike stones against trees as communication.

Communication translated:

“You see this stone? Get any closer and you’re next, Timmy. Seriously. I’m in no kind of mood to be messed with today.”

Accepting table reservations now, you won’t want to miss this.

Years are made of months.

Scanning the comments, it looks like 80% of you agree with 20% of what the author is saying.

C-suite is a pretty huge salary expense. Seems like prime target for AI replacement.

And working for even a glorified clippy would be a better experience than some we’ve all probably encountered.

Thank you for the in depth response.

The part I attempted to highlight as nonsense, perhaps unsuccessfully so, is the idea that “velocity” is a measurement of output. It is solely a measurement of estimation accuracy. As such, your example of increasing velocity by 5% each sprint falls into the three problematic scenarios described, right? If not, I’m happy to learn what I’m missing.

As far as the usefulness of story points to talk about time estimates while mitigating some of the human nature you describe, I don’t disagree. However, by masking that points ultimately are placeholders for time, I believe it’s contributed to nonsensical concepts (like Velocity) which would be clear if using plain language.

Have you ever been asked to improve velocity?

Absolute & utter nonsense.

Just don’t try to use it with Paper.

My personal observation, having homeschooled my junior and senior year, the level of wasted time (i.e. not adding value) at public school is incredible.

While it wouldn’t work at all age levels, the program I used was incredibly flexible and really encouraged curiosity.

This isn’t to say I didn’t benefit from attending public schools. There were programs and experiences there that would be difficult to impossible to replicate.

However, overall, I’d guess that at least 50% of time in public schooling is baby sitting and crowd control.

I always exclaim “bang” at the end of every line of code I write, so feels natural to me. Emeril has his bam, so why not?

Are people committing and deploying screen captures of their code?

$20k… lol. No.

“name, billing address, email and phone number”

Most of that used to be published in print and sent out to everyone. Do they still make phoneboks?

My cats should have brains the size of large melons.
