You can't make the hole for the air to escape with your hands though
Milhouse is a meme now?
I'm still missing something here. For it to be useful, I'd imagine that it would need to inform decisions, and do so where existing senses would fail.
At least in my environment, if I can smell rain, I could also just as easily use my eyes to see the cumulonimbus clouds and say "rain, due east".
In the savanna are there scenarios where the only awareness of rain would be smelling it? Can you derive directionality at 5 parts per trillion? Does it matter?
I can easily imagine someone saying this unironicaly
Also impacting the ratios of where they left from.
A lot of men from Lithuania will work abroad, artificially inflating the ratio of women left behind
I don't see the two environments as necessarily being at odds in any way.
If implementing feature X is going to take a developer 10 days... It's going to take a developer 10 days. I can say the deadline is 1 day all I want, it's going to take 10 days.
If I want to get my Volkswagen golf down a 1/4 mile, it doesn't matter how hard I push the gas pedal, it's going to take as long as it takes.
In a corporate environment, if deadlines are what you're optimizing for, you have options. You can cut scope. You can add resources. You can decrease quality. You can forgo time intensive processes designed to reduce risk. These are still all agile activities. Making deliberate decisions, and continually evaluating those decisions is agile.
Agile doesn't mean there are no timelines or goals. It's just that the design and implementation are routinely examined for suitability to your ultimate goals.
So I actually think agile is better suited to corporate environments because of how volatile the definition of delivered value is. Open source projects usually have a less volatile vision
Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?
I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.
I don't think I could if they were strangers. I could if one of the recipients was my kid though.
I'm not disputing the benefits of public transit.
I take public transit EVERY DAY. I loved my time city hopping in Europe. I want that SO badly for north america. I'm a very vocal proponent.
I grew up in a rural area. Our small area tried earnestly several times to get a bus route going. First with old school buses and then with some old city buses. They just couldn't make it work. The population density just couldn't support it.
My issue, as someone with their feet in two canoes, as they say, is with the mentality that rural populations are rounding areas unworthy of discussion or consideration. Broad statements that erase rural existence is alienating to these admittedly small percentages, but is alienating nonetheless
