I periodically find a post from some Scrum person wondering how to speed up the "inspection and adaptation" loop. That's easy: Get rid of all the bureaucracy that Scrum added to inspect-and-adapt when it took the concept from more effective ways of working, like XP. The notion of working small, releasing often, getting feedback, and adjusting is central to _all_ so-called "Agile" ways of doing things. Scrum adds a bunch of artifacts, meetings, roles, estimates, and other bureaucracy to that. Dump that bureaucratic waste, and you'll speed up. Pretty simple.
Real talk people. Snake oil. Yes, SCRUM is snake oil. #LetScrumDie
If you had any doubt that Scrum was anything other than bandwagon-based snake oil, I present you with ScrumAI.org, Sutherland's new vehicle for separating you from your money. Let's all race to the bottom

Resilience in negotiation isn’t just about managing what’s thrown at you. It’s about thriving, pivoting, and even using disruption to gain an edge.
Are you using below-the-surface Labels to uncover your counterparts' real core values and needs?
That’s Tactical Empathy in action.

Tired of looking at the Cursor dashboard to see how much usage your enterprise plan has left? Our friends at @ClearMeasure built a (free!) VSX tool to put the information right in your editor. Pretty cool! clearmeasure.com/cursor-usag…

"design patterns don't matter because AI writes code" is like saying "architectural blueprints don't matter because power tools cut wood faster."
Ex: architectural (distributed, messaging) patterns like say a claim check or cache aside, do you need them? Depends on the context. But you can't say you do or don't unless you know what they are and the trade-offs. Otherwise you're just offloading decisions.

"Architecture and high quality code will 10x decrease your token costs."
That is the most important quote I've heard to date.

Microsoft just gave Windows its own built-in way to run Linux containers.
WSL Containers is now generally available, letting you build and run Linux containers directly from Windows with wslc.
It brings isolated containers, faster Windows-to-Linux file access and a new networking model.
And Compose support is already coming next.
Linux containers on Windows just became a first-party Microsoft feature.

Just listened to a great discussion on the @azuredevopsshow with @MarkMichaelis.
He answers the question of the importance of coding knowledge in the AI world. It was in a way oddly comforting to hear this talk as a software professional.

Now, with AI, we have even MORE of this happening.
Folks, seriously, this hasn't ever gone well.

The Fear of Shipping Software Is a Design Flaw. If shipping is something you only do in the off hours of the "slowest traffic" day of the week then you need to figure out why that is. Why is that your reality?
Fear of shipping is a flaw. Don't normalize it.
Most companies don't even realize they are afraid. That should change.

In this video, @dvdstelt takes a different look at microservices and discusses why technology choice doesn’t change coupling or autonomy at all, and how we need to take a step back and stop sharing data between services particular.net/videos/autono…
Ummm, say what! Whoa.
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Wow, JavaScript stands the test of time! I wrote these games in plain vanilla JS about27 years ago and they still work perfectly. I even did the graphics.
