No one, it just makes sense.

You must be one of those “Throw your mother downstairs, the box of tissues” types.

Yoda sounded normal to you I bet.

It’s how water feels sweetums

Uh gee, for starters don’t go around broadcasting that you’re not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that’s how you get property theft! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you’re back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.

Shut up no one likes you

Look look look as a home owner with a mortgage, I think you’re looking at this all wrong.

You should be furious and demanding correction French style.

It’s super wrong and political action is desperately needed

You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.

That makes sense. Silly me

Cheers

Ideally your estimates would just be complexity points. And those estimates would go on on the stories in Jira/Azure Dev Ops / wherever

And honestly the team should meet up and discuss the estimates

I don’t understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases.

How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years.

How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months.

How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years.

How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.

Good ones are pretty rare and good program managers are even rarer.

What they should do, and what most actually do, are different things.

Project managers must be great with humans and communication. If they are not, then they just can’t be effective.

If the timing is critical then the only reasonable solution is to cut scope and features until it fits.

The triangle isn’t a rubbery floppy thing, it is iron!

Geez… Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.

They don’t get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.

Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like “4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK” like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.

I truly believe it is plausible because I worked somewhere that tried crap like that frequently.

Someone posted a scathing review on Glassdoor and one of the owners responded by threatening to kill himself if they didn’t take the post down. Not, like in an email, no as a post. And gave his name and phone number.

Warm new sponges get me so wet but not in a weird way I just fuck em

Oof ouch owie

I don’t recall approving my appearance in this comic - I am lodging a complaint to the Internet authorities!

No caffeine or stimulants after noon. A considerable percentage shouldn’t have it after 10 am frankly.

Try this: 1 week of no caffeine and no chocolate At least 20 minutes of exercise - can be split upper day Finish eating dinner and snacks by 7pm No gaming or stimulating entertainment 30-60 minutes before bed. Manage noise, light and other triggers.

Smart watches or similar are good for watching your sleep quality.

In any " At Will" state. A few states might have some ridiculous shit going on.

What’s wrong with the Seattle Space Needle?

Actually, that’s a Vexlers Northern Swamp Warbler- you can tell by the gorsach veining on the pin feathers.

The older I get the more I do know about birds …but enjoy fucking with borders more.
