  1. This is why high performing teams under up undermining safe in order to make the actual system more agile.

  2. We also need the power to enforce standards. If you have responsibility without the power to enforce the responsiblity you will just be screwed.

  3. In most professions engineers have legal protections and sign off requirements so that bosses can't force them to do illegal and dangerous things. Programmers don't have that. You can't have responsibility without the power to enforce it.

  4. If programmers have consequences for this kind of thing then they also need the authority to enforce doing things the right way. In almost every case I have ever seen it is management that forces corners to be cut, to skip testing, to skip writing better code, to just hack enough to get something to kind of work. If you have consequences without authority then people will quit being programmers.

  5.  @3borsresistance551  What I find is that agile works fine but SAFE, scrumm, etc. don't. I also find that sprints don't make any actual sense. I do believe in CI/CD, unit testing, mob coding, working meetings where you actually code with the people that need to be involved.

  6.  @sorcdk2880  Whoa 100+ people on a team. I think we keep ours to about 10 max because otherwise there are just too many interaction points. That would make meetings seriously suck.

  7. For science and engineering my favorite language to use is Python. It has the most mature machine learning libraries, a wide range of science and engineering libraries with tools like numpy, matplotlib, scipy, sklearn, pandas, etc. It is a really hard language to beat for that.

  8. I appreciate his work but i don't see the point. You can only get M chips from apple in apple devices. That means this doesn't matter for servers or datacenters. Beyond being cool i don't see what value it has.

  9. So far AI has not really been getting better at programming. It generates a lot of code but the quality and maintenance is much worse.

  10. What I have noticed is that highly functional teams are already pretty agile. However, I see managers try to add agile to non-functional teams and that just fails. I also see many companies use SAFE which is pretty far from agile. It is hard to get anything done with managers twist agile to micromanage. Mostly the way companies use SAFE still looks like waterfall to me.
