I ignore a whole lot of shit.

1 email address, but I may need more at some point

Again? I have a lovely quilt made by my great grandmother out of sack cloth.

Thanks for pointing that out so I didn’t have to.

What’s the alternative? Waterfail?

Yeah because business requirements and technology is changing at an ever slower rate…

My ICQ ID was a rather low number…

A lot but the problem is not that, it’s keeping it limited to 8km

It’s how water feels sweetums

Uh gee, for starters don’t go around broadcasting that you’re not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that’s how you get property theft! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you’re back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.

My sarcasm detector is failing…

Quotes from Ingrid Newkirk. The PETA “shelters” have frequently been found to euthanasia oriented with little effort put into re-homing.

“Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.”

https://quotefancy.com/ingrid-newkirk-quotes#:~:text=“Pet ownership is an absolutely,brought about by human manipulation.”&text=17.

What PETA has said, and what they have done, are often not the same.

People who support the ethical treatment of animals and veganism often don’t know and even more often don’t want to know about the skeletons in the closet, and would usually be unsupportive of such acts.

Extremism happens.

No no no look not regular vegans. PETA vegans.

You know, the ones that think cats and dogs would be better off dead than as pets. If you’re feeling too upbeat go ahead and Bing it.

What a ridiculous title! No one buys cooling from Tesla ever since the sugar got stuck in my teeth so I had to brush the heck out of thems that can’t do, teach.

Shut up no one likes you

I hope they copy his example by the thousands.

Look look look as a home owner with a mortgage, I think you’re looking at this all wrong.

You should be furious and demanding correction French style.

It’s super wrong and political action is desperately needed

Hope they never need to put out fires using planes dropping dihydrogen monoxide

Yes yes single threaded execution etc but now we just build a crap ton more and keep increasing the computational throughput per watt etc.

We’ve moved massive calculations into GPUs and thus in terms computational capabilities it holds up.

I mean check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS

The geometric growth is real. Moore’s law was just one way to explain it.

Moore’s law predicts that compared to 1980, computers in 2040 would be a BILLION times faster.

Also that compared to 1994 computers, the ones rolling out now are a MILLION times faster.

A cheap Raspberry PI would easily be able to handle the computational workload of a room full of equipment in 1984.

What would have taken a million years to calculate in 1984 would theoretically take 131 hours today and 29 seconds in 2044…

Ideally your estimates would just be complexity points. And those estimates would go on on the stories in Jira/Azure Dev Ops / wherever

And honestly the team should meet up and discuss the estimates

Good ones are pretty rare and good program managers are even rarer.

What they should do, and what most actually do, are different things.

Project managers must be great with humans and communication. If they are not, then they just can’t be effective.

Geez… Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.

They don’t get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.

Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like “4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK” like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.
