  1. Can we sue on Voices of Millions of UK Taxpayers Stored By HMRC (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    and put HMRC out of business? Is this the way to end taxes once and for all?!

    > No, in DevOps there is no distinction between developers and QA. It's as insane as it sounds.

    devops is just the systems team applying development paradigms to their jobs, moving from platforms like PXE/FAI etc to cfengine/puppet/chef with source control then all the tools that paradigm enables

    recruiters might have turned it in to a single role for understaffed, underbudgeted companies to underhire with but just because they call an apple a tomato doesnt mean it is one

  4. Re:Marketing and operations not embracing MarkOps on Most Organizations Are Not Fully Embracing DevOps (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    im gonna throw it out there and say devops was just a philosophy of applying development paradigms, e.g. source control to infrastructure, producing the code as infrastructure movement and paving the way for easier continuous integration with the ability to auto-build complete systems from scratch on demand

    devops was never about merging the systems and development teams, ever

  6. Re:Betteridge's law on Should Developers Abandon Agile? (ronjeffries.com) · · Score: 1

    mm not really, it has more to do with successful delivery than lack of trust.

    on one end of the spectrum you can formally spec out the entire system and wait a lifetime to get something that doesnt do what you want, using the waterfall model, due to too much involvement

    on the other end of the spectrum you can describe what you want to the developers over a beer in the pub and wait a lifetime to get something that doesn't do what you want because of a lack of involvement

    scrum/agile should be the lesser of both evils, 'hey, this week can you create the signup and onboarding flow, and login and forgot password please' where you break the big picture down in to meaningful deliverables you can iterate on to demonstrate constant progress to the stakeholders.

    if it devolves to 'working harder' that means the entire team is unable to make correct time estimates or worse, is ok with being unable to make realistic time estimates.

    sure there are some trust issues, the longer you leave it between deliveries or meeting your development team the more time there is at hand for things to go wrong, specifications to be misunderstood etc

    you want to hire a development team to work on your project, pay them $30kpm and show up 12 months later asking why nothing has been done, by all means go for it

    Reading the article and having the tiniest bit of empathy, its quite obvious he's mad about the former, losing the address, as now he has to go through 20 years worth of contact communication and account data and transition everyone and all the services involved.

    It's a systemic problem with their entitled mindset. Fake news is no different from the fake rape and fake attack accusations that individuals have been making recently, only instead of being actioned by individual actors fake news comes out via more organised organisations.

    They honestly feel that whatever their specific problem is, lying serves the greater good, which is a very childish position to be coming from.
