Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.

Like traditional project management?

No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.

If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.

Isn’t that the new bullshit line nowadays? Companies used designed in <country>, but everything is still made in China.

It usually means that their logical thing is pretty good because discrete math is pretty much all that.

You learn a concept, then you modify it to apply to different contexts for different applications.

The math competitions is a good training for that.

If he doesn’t have to deal with all the administrative work, the overhead will probably reduce drastically.

The insurance system in the US is so fucked up that it wouldn’t surprise me if a big part of the doctor’s fee are eaten by dealing with insurers.

Anyway, I am pretty sure the guy didn’t choose 35$ blindly.

And let’s not forget that it is only for a consultation. If he does other acts, he charges more.

A doctor can usually see 4 patients an hour. So that’s 140$/h, not 35$/h.

4 patients an hour is still 140$/h.

I used to be a PascalCase guy myself, but that changed recently when I had to use React (coming from embbeded C)

I am working with a C embedded framework that uses snake_case, and switching between the two, I realized that it is a lot easier to find information with snake_case for me.

Yeah, but Russia invaded Ukraine. So what should be done now.

If left to their own devices, Ukraine would be annexed to Russia and surrounding countries would be next. The casualties would probably be less here (not guaranteed) and the quality of life of the Ukrainians would drastically degrade.

If NATO sends boots on the ground, then it becomes a full blown world war with warring countries having lots of nukes. The casualties are enormous with a potential doomsday scenario.

Right now, NATO finance a proxy war. Ukrainians fight back and hard to shut out Russians. They need the tech and financing to do so. If they don’t have it, Russia takes over and we go back to the first scenario. Casualties are high.

There is no good ending where Russia negotiate peace and return home. War fucking sucks, and there is no good answer.

This is a delicate situation. If a NATO country is sending troops to Ukraine, it will escalate the war into a full blown world war.

We know what happened in both world wars, so there is no good answers here.

Ukraine rely on a lot more than just the USA. But what else can they do? It’s either that or they get annexed.

Their are a small country versus a world power.
