Chaotic good journeyman software craftsman

Tu ouvres Twitter pour la première fois depuis 2 mois... Tu tombes là dessus... Tu te rappelles pourquoi tu avais arrêté Twitter... Tu refermes Twitter... #facepalm #stupidity

L’heure est venue d’accélérer le processus de maturation d’une issue émancipatrice aux crises contemporaines. @ElsaFaucillon @BalasGuillaume et Alain Coulombel 👇 @pourunbigbang #ConfinementJour36 liberation.fr/debats/2020/04…

I just published The dreaded weight loss plateau! Have you ever experienced it? I sure have. Let me tell you my story and the terrible mistake I made… link.medium.com/UPE2rmX8z3

The dreaded weight loss plateau

Every idea needs a Medium

New Post ! What if the way you approached your weight loss journey were only to set you for long term failure? If you only care about losing weight, you will fail link.medium.com/cvtqMJpj12

But then, what are all the agile coaches for ? 🤔😁

A company with bad management (e.g. micromanaging, control focused) will not be "transformed" by Agile. Agile, in fact, doesn't transform anything important (which is one of the reasons I don't like the term "Agile Transformation"). It's really the other way around. 1/5

"Regression tests are a by-product of BDD" @sebrose BDD is about discovery, collaboration and formulation. Automation comes last #BDDPARIS

No need to be a grumpy old man to say this. The fundamentals of good software development have stayed more similar than not in my 30+ years in the industry. Details change, sure, but energy spent honing core skills will continue to pay.

Agreed! The fundamentals don't change. I think that quite a lot of this idea of us being a fast-moving industry is guff! The ephemeral stuff changes, the stuff that you can learn in a few weeks of use, the rest stays the same. </GrumpyOldManMode>



Alors que je suis ENCORE coincé à cause du @RERB je me demande : Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà calculé/estimé le coût économique de tous ces retards engendrés par la RATP ?


Thomas Benard reposted

Yes. Maybe we should talk about limiting TIU (tools in use) the way we talk about limiting WIP (work in progress).

Maybe you don't need more tools in your toolbox. Sometimes you need fewer tools that are good for more jobs... even if they're harder to learn.

Fred Brooks said that software is best when it looks like it was designed by one mind. Mob programming is an attempt to create one mind of many. Quality goes down as the number of people touching code independently goes up. Interesting constraint problem.

Something I should have done long ago: #EventStorming discussion group has a new home: groups.google.com/d/forum/events… Practitioners, learners, and explorers welcome.


I disagree ! There IS a talent shortage and we manufacture it through technological inflation. No time to think, to get deep, to actually learn anymore. It's always about the new language, library, framework or tool.

Maybe you don't need more tools in your toolbox. Sometimes you need fewer tools that are good for more jobs... even if they're harder to learn.



Le monde du recrutement gagnerait vraiment à lire "How to win friends and influence people". Littéralement tous les messages que je reçois parlent de ce que l'entreprise aurait à gagner à ce que je les rejoigne. PERSONNE ne me parle de ce que Moi, j'aurais à y gagner...

Never submit to any intellectual authority. Don't assume anyone else thinks better than you. When it comes to thinking you can be as good or better than any other person no matter how authoritative they appear. Intellectual authority is a facade. No one really knows anything.


That's cool ! Is a/has a => focus on data structure Does/tell => focus on behaviour

Maybe you don't need more tools in your toolbox. Sometimes you need fewer tools that are good for more jobs... even if they're harder to learn.
