How to train an AI system to relentlessly avoiding traceability and accountability?
How to let it pretend interest in strategy analysis?
In short, how to let it reassure the outfit it works for that it should know its stuff but, when push comes to shove, it will be friggin' useless?
Indeed in my frame of reference -the shop I currently work for- I see a few challenging requirements. Perhaps we should lower our expectations and come up with a system to automate people that actually do that what they were hired for.
That's actually pretty impressive. Good that it works out that well for you!
We invariably struggle with resources; We never get enough of them assigned to our projects. We simply have to make do with what we have. Failing to meet a client's target is never an option, so we need our systems to be easy to configure and we need a methodology that works with people that commit themselves.
Smaller projects typically have emphasis on configuration, testing and release management. Relatively little activity from our side and a client with SCRUM typically requires much more of our time than we can sell them.
OTOH, larger projects to produce deliverables that improve our business proposition, have much longer conception phases and may be interrupted from time to time, only to be picked up again at an opportune time. That doesn't go well with SCRUM.
In both cases SCRUM doesn't work well for us. We tried and just couldn't adapt to it.
In the end it boils down to having a team of proficient people in the required disciplines. Once you have that you can do almost anything using any methodology. (With a good team you can even pretend to use a methodology when in reality you're circumnavigating it to reach targets.)
And no, I'm not a maverick. Just a guy that developed an immune system against hypes. (Which I experienced since early 90s.)
Ever tried Agile development of a software library or of infrastructural systems? Stuff that needs to be thought out before publishing? Where experience counts? Where you don't have a team of 10 people dedicated to sprints of two weeks? Where produced software actually has to be maintained? In short, where you have a small shop that needs to make a difference.
Agile is good to let badly planned projects die soon. Perhaps good enough to develop applications. Not so good if you have a team of experienced workers that actually know what they do and what they do directly affects the bottom line in a market where competition is strong.
Can you provide a citation? What do you mean by "improves"? In particular, please provide some sort of quantitative measure of "improvement", and argue why I might want to use that measure. After you've done that, the conversation can continue. For example, I might propose an alternate measure of improvement...
Happens to be MHO. I can expand a little. Given that male/female are divided in 50/50, both should mostly be represented in equal ratios in most activities. Through that both the male and the female POVs are taken into consideration. In the longer term that should be beneficial to all because both sides will be represented and hence the activities in question will have more authority and be able to achieve targets more effectively. That's what I mean by improving.
As a rational person, have you ever tried to sometimes blindly follow your SO? The new insights and new possibilities may be significant. For example, my wife liked the idea of sailing. I never cared much for anything nautical or water related. Then I went along with the idea and took it perhaps a bit more seriously than my wife meant. Since then I sailed from Norway to the scotland, did a bit of English channel, the Irish sea, and of course I took the family on sailing trips. Wouldn't have happened if I had dismissed my wife's idea. Still consider her POVs alien to mine -and that's mutual- but I'll play ball intensely and unreservedly. Life's too short to miss new experiences.
Gender equality improves society as a whole and we should aspire to achieving that.
Preventing competition weakens the ones that are favoured as incentive to achieve is reduced.
Having said that, there is a tendency to appoint extremely mediocre men. Gender nepotism is what should be tackled first. Striving for a true meritocracy.
There isn't enough content. Mostly movies I don't care about or stuff I've already seen.
I'll watch TGT and then cancel my subscription. Lather, rinse, repeat.
You sound like you're up for a promotion. Hope you'll be able to deal with the disillusion when you come to realize that upper management isn't what you think it's supposed to be. That in most not privately owned companies it's a way to dodge doing actual work with cluelessly spouting BS.
Steve and the rest of the world wouldn't have been where we're now if it weren't for a handful of brilliant people like Ritchie, Thompson, and Joy to name a few off the top of my head.
Mechanics are better at replacing car tires than mobile phones, notebooks and desktops. Allegedly being able to actually touch the subject matter proves a significant advantage.
Just a regular developer here. Not a great speaker. Not particularly good with people.
However, I do need people around me. They are invaluable for staying up-to-date. The banter also feeds issues to my brain and I can work to finding solutions to not yet perceived problems well before escalation occurs.
At home I cannot concentrate well because wife and kids distract me with stuff I find hard to resist. At work I communicate well in a business way and at home I'm more family oriented.
Speaking for myself, I am most effective and efficient in a traditional setting. Yet I don't impose this on others. If you want to telecommute then be prepared to tell me what you're up to so that we can work well together. And yes, I will reciprocate.
Why not invade Redmond? It seems customary practice in Russia to take what you want by force.
I'm sure some jerk could argue that Alaska was once Russian. That Washington isn't hat far away from Alaska. That Russia never sold Washington to the US. And that therefore...
What a bunch of idiots. Regardless of the technology (I don't particularly like MS') you should know that coming up with an operating system, a desktop and usable applications is not an easy task. What's the Russian version be like? A ripoff of ?

Well COBOL has both funky syntax rules and scalability. Nearly there guys!
The lengths we as a species go to uncover new depths to our sleaziness is mind-boggling.
Would the paintings -contrary to what we'd instinctively believe- actually got better with in spite of the deterioration of the body?

... especially the price.
Not all gloom and doom ;) Will reconsider my sceptic position.

someone remembered that "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no'."
Headline: What do we think about the statement above?
Possible answers: Yes? No?
It all has to do with open-ended vs. close-ended questions.
Surly someone will have trademarked "lawn mower".
... when all you need is a decent VT220 emulator?

Did they shell out a full $37? Showoffs!
... In any case mine never ever turned, slided and stopped as smoothly as this one does.
... for brick layers. Allegedly based near Big Bend National Park.

Our. Hearts. Bleed.
Naaaat!
Smart cars would drive on stupid roads.
Otherwise you'd call them slot cars.

Glad there's a definitive method. Sure helps when engaging in polite conversation.
Sure, privacy...
Is this toy any good? I mean like in "Xmas present for the SO".
Appologies to RMS.
