I feel like when Agile first came out the local agile guru was basically an older programmer w/ a ton of years and wisdom under their belt who knew first hand why doing things a particular way was best. It's since becamse a 2 week course for anyone to enter the tech field. Feel the same way about the influx of cybersecurity experts. Those used to be really good devs who also knew a lot about security, now, don't even get me started.
It was started by people doing a giant business consulting project, for Chrysler. The Agile Manifesto came out of (some of? all of? I forget) the signatories' experiences working on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation System, using the Extreme Programming methodology. How well did that work out?
From the Wikipedia article:
"The one-year delivery target was nearly achieved..."
"A few months after this first launch, the project's customer representative—a key role in the Extreme Programming methodology—quit due to burnout and stress, and couldn't be replaced."
"The plan was to roll out the system to different payroll 'populations' in stages, but C3 never managed to make another release despite two more years' development."
"Frank Gerhardt, a manager at the company, announced to the XP conference in 2000 that DaimlerChrysler had de facto banned XP after shutting down C3..."
Construction is incredibly expensive. Why that is complicated. In a lot of the ways the problems though is our lack of newer affordable homes. Newer homes tend to cost more and have all the tech. Older homes are cheaper but paying someone else to upgrade them is crazy expensive.
well no duh that's why I go to the gym every morning. Looked at the average salary these peeps are making. Most ppl on here are making double plus some in my area as developers.
Those average salaries aren't very representative. Especially in major cities. We'll see how long those inflated developer salaries last as the layoffs pick up and AI replaces a lot of functions.
I obviously can see your logic but I still think it's your best bet. I also think it's important to point out there's an order of importance. If you have low or no income you're first priority needs to be getting a higher paying job and or up skilling to enable you to get a higher paying job. From there assuming you got a decent job most of us will have a 401k option. You get a tax deduction, tax free growth and most importantly most of us get matching employer contributions of some form. If you put in enough to get the full match over the course of you're career you're going to end up ahead. If you have an HSA sames goes there. If you have a low enough income to qualify for the deduction on an IRA same goes there. Oh yea did I mention 529 for your kids future? Combining investing w/ special accounts that can grow tax free and offer tax deductions are going to maximize you're chances of overall success but again I agree all this is kind of riding on you being in a decent paying field and if you're not already that should be your first priority.
Yes, definitely need to optimize for the employer contributions and tax savings, but that wealth is still from the job. I guess disagree with the "look how much money you'll have from compounded returns!"... the timelines are too long to be practical in our life spans.
Yes. One easy place to see this is Alta (skiing only) and Snowbird (mixed use) side by side on the same mountain in Utah. I enjoy both and prefer skiing the snow and runs of Alta.
I'd prefer snowboarding Alta too, but seeing for myself the difference to the snow and to the traffic patterns, I can see my snowboard would undermine Alta's preferential characteristics, so I'm happy they're separate.
They do, and that grooming cost is indirectly covered by the lift ticket prices or the event sponsors.
But the run will still be closed for a while, because it doesn't make sense to continually groom the run leading up to and during competition or practice. Generally it's not closed to just snowboarders, but to anybody who isn't involved with the event. At least that's how they do it here in CO.
I love your book example. I was at my library leafing through books about a subject I know fairly well - none of them were worth my time. The situation is even more dire on popular subjects w/ a low barrier of entry e.g. exercise and nutrion - not that those actually have a low barrier to entry but everyone seems to think they're expert and the populace generally accepts nutrition advice w/ little to no real evidence.
My comment said that rust had a great cross-platform story, not Dioxus. If I was doing cross-platform rust I'd use cacao for iOS, Dioxus for web front end, et cetera.
Looking at the pictures your way of doing things just seems so much error prone and error prone in a super time consuming kind of way. Like those cuts w/ a chisel have to take a while to do, they have to be precise, and if you screw up the last one the whole board and all the work you just put in it are for waste.
Mobile + Desktop. But these are LoB apps. I just like it better than React(Native). The results are really robust and easy to debug if something wrong. Also when I do an update, unlike React, not suddenly everything is broken.
