  1. And we can reduce the basic manufacturing time to one month by using 9 women. Think of the savings!

  2. Re:Rent-a-Coder on Ask Slashdot: Is There a 'Gig Economy' Site For Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    I kept getting undercut at that site and when I finished one contract to spec the customer tried to weasel out of it by forcing inspected scope creep on me. In the latter case I got my money but I have never gone back.

  3. Re:Legwork and knowing the right people... on Ask Slashdot: Is There a 'Gig Economy' Site For Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    The most fun and money I was making in tech was as a 1099 freelancer. But I had to convert due to health care costs.

    Who cares if you get paid. Free market and all that. Just move from one mark... err ummm ... I mean customer to another. That the American way.

    There was no Control, in the experimental sense.

    What's your point? What are you driving at. I do not see any conclusion on the topic of "Agile" in your post.

  7. Re:OK, one more time. Agile is an adjective. on Should Developers Abandon Agile? (ronjeffries.com) · · Score: 1

    That's the point. "Agile" was never intended to be such a product. See the video. "Agile" as sold is not agile at all. Rather waterfall in drag.

  9. Re:One problem: no normative definition of "Agile" on Should Developers Abandon Agile? (ronjeffries.com) · · Score: 1

    "Agile" has no definition because it is supposed to be an adjective, not a noun.

    Agile is not a proper noun, it is an adjective.

  11. Number of CS programs on Code.org Is Crowdsourcing Database of US K-12 Schools That Teach, Or Don't Teach CS · · Score: 1

    zero.

    Number of trades programs in IT and Software, all of the rest of them.

  12. Re:Separation of Government and Education on Code.org Is Crowdsourcing Database of US K-12 Schools That Teach, Or Don't Teach CS · · Score: 1

    That has been tried and is still the model in some nations. It fails as education of any sort becomes something only the wealthy can afford as that is how the private sector works, no profits no services. Having free government funded education is the best way forward.

  13. What is the definition of CS?

    P.S. are you sure you are not getting sucked into the sunk costs fallacy? If it doesn't turn around soon you should just cut your losses and run.

    OK. I might try it again but if you're blowing smoke I'm done.

    Source forge is riddled with so much adware and trojans I will never ever use it again. I don't think I have used it in 10 years and I have no plans on returning. Just hurry up kill ir off already.

  23. Why this obsession with gods of the underworld on A New World's Extraordinary Orbit Points to Planet Nine (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Pluto aka Hades was the god of death and the underworld. Should we name the new planet if it exists "Satan"? Plutonium is so dangerous it was consciously named after Pluto. A dark god for a dark element.

    Nice. There's nothing like cruising down the highway just past Tonapah at 155 mph in your Tesla with a hostess next to you, smoking a joint; occasionally taking a sip from a fine craft microbrew; and placing online bets.

    If it just wasn't for those pesky bats.
