Do you think daily standovers decaying to status update meetings is a natural result of using a visualisation tool that prioritises item state over everything else?

A fantastic data visualisation by @CaseyBriggs showing how the decline in national support for the major parties translates into declining support seat by seat, increasing the number of contest involving Independents and minor parties. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-2…

In probably the biggest case of Tech Bros Discover Trains - the writing of the Manifesto for agile software development is the moment Tech Bros discovered unionism.

At the company I work for we mainly use Miro for planning. The trick is we maintain very small backlogs, even tho there's ALWAYS more to be worked on than we can. We still use Jira for support and bug tracking, but close ticket ASAP by either fixing now or deciding not to fix


I can appreciate why the ATO is offended that this is being compared to robodebt - if they are certain that the 13 cases where a tax refund was garnished were remediated before the refund was fully processed, and no other cases resulted in any externally observable effects.

ATO & Gov found bugs - that miscalculated +600 debts - 4 MONTHS before they stopped automated allegations, .@iTnews_au FOI shows. @Asher_Wolf, .@maximumwelfare & .@NickMcKim say #Robotax label is fair; that links to #Robodebt are real itnews.com.au/news/ato-bugs-…
