This seems accurate

It’s a meme! Reads something like:

STOP DOING AGILE
• REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGE EVERY TWO WEEKS
• YEARS of ESTIMATING yet no real-world evidence of anything getting done faster
• "In order to reduce process we add more process" - statement dreamed up by the UTTERLY DERANGED
• POKER is a GAME not a PLANNING TOOL
• T-shirt size estimation belongs in the CLOTHING STORE not SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• "Points represent complexity, not time"
YET YOU KEEP MEASURING HOW MANY POINTS FIT IN A WEEK??
• People who want to "BURN DOWN" belongs in JAIL not run software teams
• Same goes for people doing GROOMING
This is REAL SCRUM done by REAL scrum masters:

Pretend there’s a bunch of burndown charts here.

They have played us for absolute fools

Today I want to be on top of things and end the day proud of whatever I did

For users of sensible mail clients, Has anyone written (and shared) any useful filters for extracting value from JIRA HTML mails? my client currently just dumps the output of "lynx -force_html" but any signal is very much lost in the noise…

@mart_brooks Thanks! I've bought an (almost free) Lenovo 10e which is a predecessor to the Duet so maybe it'll be terrible. We'll see!

PHM is 35 years old: If Marty McFly went back in time from 2024 to introduce cool, hip new music to old people, the old people would be listening to Pretty Hate Machine *before* he arrived. #music

Considering a Lenovo e10 for 8 year old daughter basic computing. I have no experience of chrome os. Good idea/bad idea?

@giulianopz @jpmens @b0rk I think the TLDR effort is a good one, but I hope some of the efforts can be folded back into the actual manpages too. There’s no reason the classic man pages should stagnate.

@Ronguest yeah both are possible. good opportunity to play with another nozzle :)

@simon_schwarz I’m having better success with the slower presets in the mini profile (QUALITY etc)

I stumbled across this guy who makes old-school Jungle using period equipment… including Octamed on Commodore Amigas. It's been my morning soundtrack https://n4records.bandcamp.com/album/pete-cannon-the-8bit-lick-e-p-n4011 #music

Gah my Prusa Mini has been really unreliable of late: prints getting all gummed up. I've cleaned the nozzle. I *feel* like this is only since introducing input shaping and the other new stuff #3dprinting
