That’s not agile.

It’s not bad, it’s just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn’t possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don’t get worst-case productivity.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

I prefer not to be lit like a b-movie villain, when I’m walking around in my own home, but you do you.

You’re right wrt personal preference. It’s just strange to me how seemingly all the neurodivergents but me hate overhead lighting 😭

Floor lamps that are above head height are… Ok I guess, but that’s still mostly head-on. Light that is clearly cast down is so much more satisfying. Personal preference, of course.
And to be clear I don’t have anything against mood lighting or accent lights, I like them… Just not only them.

The impression I have (mainly from social media like tiktok and Lemmy) is that the desired lighting is head high and below which just… Puts me in a tailspin lol. Idk how people can live like that 🤣

In my ideal room, there would be indirect overhead lighting that illuminated most of the ceiling to provide an indirect overhead area light, with a near-head level accent lights. I’ve looked into if I could use a short-throw projector onto the ceiling to provide some kind of crazy configurable overhead lighting, but they’re simply not meant for that kind of application

I’m not talking about descriptions, I’m talking about pictures and videos.
And I’m not talking about lighting set into the floor, I mean like floor lamps and shit.

They put these laps on shelves and desks and standing on the floor, but they’re almost always below eye level when standing, so everyone looks like a b-movie villain as they move about the room. It drives me crazy.

Give me an overhead area light. Soft shadows from light cast downward onto my face.

Ceiling light is best light.

All these fucking mood lighting I see people talk about make you look like some kind of underlit villain, or like you’re telling goosebumps stories around the world’s mildest campfire.

Why am I the only neurodivergent person who finds floor lights fucking disgusting ???

Incorrect, you’ve always been cheating at the game

The culture was no great loss

There are common traps and employer don’t spend money/time to train their devs to avoid them.

SOLID principles are pretty decent but a surprising number of people don’t do any of them

I have to admit I mostly only used it for testing purposes. I worked on a product that integrated with it, and I remember it being frustrating to work with. I forget the details of what frustrated me about it, though.

Laws will differ in different places, but I’m familiar with 3 categories of terminations:

1. With cause (firing)
2. Without cause (layoff)
3. Voluntary (quitting)

When someone is terminated with cause or quits, they are not entitled to severance and they do not collect unemployment insurance. When someone is laid off, the employer is obligated to pay a severence package.

The Amazon focus and pivot program is interesting. That definitely looks like they’re bribing low performers to quit, and I smell an ulterior motive. Maybe it’s to get them to sign an NDA but I feel like it’s to avoid wrongful dismissed lawsuits. Although I suppose why not both?

But they’re not gonna offer severence to someone who quits, right?

The wording made it sound like he quit rather than got laid off.

A wonderful product or a wonderful community? It sounds like you’re describing the people who were on it and not the platform itself.

What are they gonna do if you refuse to sign? Fire you?

If this guy voluntarily left, then he wasn’t getting a severance package that they could withhold (and on that note, this is a good reason to include involuntary severence in your employment contract, if you can negotiate it).

I kind of agree. I’m not a pro but I’ve been using gimp to do little bits of editing (mostly to make slack emojis and memes) for a few years, and I constantly encounter little things that seem like they should be simple and intuitive, but are not.

I haven’t used Photoshop in over a decade, but I feel like I rarely felt the same frustration regarding basic tasks.

Gross
But considering the current state of Google search, not as gross as it was.

IMO there are two underrated benefits:

1. It enforces separation of concerns
2. It provides options to OPS.

Designing for micro services doesn’t mean you need to deploy it as micro services. You can deploy it as a monolith and configure it too skip the network stack

Who TF down voted you? That’s absolutely 100% accurate

I think that was the point he was trying to make

But then so what? It’s not like a pumpkin is invincible, she’d just be sitting there covered in pumpkin pieces, surrounded by animals, in some raggity ass dress. Not great if she is still near the castle, but not exactly the horror that the post implies.
