What do you think would happen if it didn’t stay on your device? Just trying to understand if there’s an attack vector I’m missing. What could one do with that information given how it is encoded?

Could you elaborate on your concern? My understanding of how most biometric auth works is that it functions a lot like passwords in that your features get translated into a non-reversible hash that should be meaningless to any other biometric auth system.

I recently dealt with the same thing. We had an experienced CTO come in and implement a “big company” style of Agile. In all fairness, there was a lack of process that needed to be addressed, but the pendulum swung very much too far in the other direction. He left the company and I stepped up to fill the gap. First thing I did was quantify the amount of time the team was spending in meetings and it was over 25%. Those meetings weren’t even efficiently grouped, so with context switching it was even worse.

Luckily I was in a position to change things and consolidated a lot of the ceremonies. I kept more of the process in place for our offshore partner team because the communication burden was higher.

So I guess my two take aways are that time in meetings needs to be evaluated with how meetings are grouped to avoid too much context switching and allow for folks to get into a flow. The other is that how strictly you adhere to “textbook” scrum really depends on the composition of the team. More junior teams or teams that are insolated from the larger business context benefit more from more process imho.

Glad you like the concept! Russian is currently language #4 on my list, and I hope to add it in the first half of this year. There's a form at the bottom of Langliter's homepage that lets you select which language pair you'd like to see supported. That'll let me can shoot you an email when it is ready.

The short answer is no, because I don't know enough about those languages to deliver a valuable experience.

I think the value from Langliter comes from two areas:

1. The NLP processing and tooling built on top of that processing 2. Its superior mobile experience

If I just used a simple form of tokenization, I think I could very quickly deliver a superior mobile experience than what is currently available from similar apps. However, I'm not sure if PoS tagging and some of the other techniques I'm using translate to those languages or if they do, how much value they'd add to the learning process.

But it's something I'll certainly revisit if the app ends up being popular and I have the resources to do it properly.
