Haha, I like this part:

[…] Gates responded: “Well, Steve, I think there’s more than one way of looking at it. I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.”

Too late, you already angered the android extremists. Come at me haters

I’m with you, but it seems like this post got taken over by passionate haters

If I remember correctly, android was already under development, but huge changes were made after the iPhone came out.

Cancer did. And just because he could be a prick doesn’t mean he deserved to die so soon.

From what I’ve read he definitely had a strong personality and I don’t think anyone sees him as flawless. But that made for some very funny moments. And he definitely was the person that Apple needed at that time.

They decide how to implement it themselves is what I mean by that, the user story doesn’t give technical implementation details and it doesn’t give a specific solution. It gives you the problem and reason

Okay different question then. Judging from your stance towards scrum, I’m assuming you have worked with it before and it didn’t go so well? What parts were terrible and how was it set up if I may ask?

If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to take a look and read the book. At the very least it’s some interesting stories being told.

Developers don’t take control in scrum. They are empowered to work autonomously, which is a big difference. Devs provide the complexity of stories and the PO decides in what order the team is tackling them.

Scrum doesn’t mean everyone just does whatever they feel like.

I get your point and maybe there’s a better alternative to scrum that keeps the culture and structure intact.

I might be wrong here, but as I see it scrum is fixing problems by changing the team structure itself. If that structure is really the main issue, you can’t not make that structure change, call it scrum when it actually has nothing to do with it, and then blame your inability to adapt on the methodology you’re not using. Because there are teams that are able to adapt and use scrum successfully.

I think the methodology is fine and it certainly isn’t complex. It’s just difficult to start using it when the corporate culture isn’t able to adapt and change it’s structures, that’s the hard part. Also a topic in the book.

Scrum is “bottom up” and the scrum master doesn’t manage anyone or anything, they are there to serve the team and get rid of obstacles. The team is empowered. If there’s a “manager” for the team, that’s already a mistake. That role doesn’t exist in scrum.

I quite enjoyed reading Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time. It’s not the book that people are mad at, it’s the shitty implementation of what management thinks scrum is. Because they never read the book.

That has nothing to do with scrum anymore

That guy doesn’t know shit about Yo-Yos, he’s even using the wrong finger. He deserves to look stupid.

I feel like there have to be real text exchanges similar to this, but I always assume they’re fake, because they’re just too easy to fabricate. I wonder how many of them were actually real and I just didn’t believe it. Would’ve made them way more funny (not saying it’s not funny if they’re not, but still)

Hopeful they’ll get cheaper quickly

I’m not a car person, so excuse my lack of knowledge. But do electric cars have/need cooling liquid? Just wondering

I think you convinced me to actually do it
