💡 A quick Agile myth-bust. Many teams say: 👉 "We do Agile." What they often mean is: 👉 "We do Scrum." They're not the same thing. Agile is a mindset. Scrum is a framework. You can follow every Scrum ceremony and still miss the point. ✅ Agile = delivering value […] [Original post on mas.to]

💡 The best question to ask a developer isn't "What did you build?" It's: 👉 "What went wrong, and how did you find it?" A polished portfolio can hide fragile engineering. The answer to a tough bug, a failed decision, or a lesson learned tells you far more about a […] [Original post on mas.to]

I hate captchas. I'm looking at you with deep frustration @signalapp #actuallyAutistic

Tap things that break when dropped. A captcha that only will let you pass if you let it know that you think an excavator, a brick road, and a shovel will not break when dropped, while a cup would do. I passed it eventually after many tries and this is what they wanted to hear. I want to drop them from a helicopter in an excavator now. See if it breaks.

I hate that I still have to have arguments with people about #nuclear energy. In the midst of the climate crisis, this graph is more convincing than any argument I could make.

The graph shows historical per capita GDP growth vs per capita emissions. Almost all countries see significant rises in emissions with GDP growth, with one exception: France. France saw drastically falling emissions with continued growth after adopting nuclear power.
