The ice cream lady that rolls down our neighborhood. My 4 yo hears the music and freaks out. We have to keep cash around now.

On your pricing tab "Expiration" is spelled incorrectly on Pro and Elite levels.

This is what I did with my son. Take the pedals off, teach him balance, then put them back on.

There's a hospital here that does a clinic on teaching kids to ride a bike and this is what they do as well.

> It makes me wonder: how do people get so sold on a thing that they'll go online and fight about it, even when they lack facts or often even basic understanding?

I feel like this can be applied to anything.

I had a manager take one SAFe for Leaders class then came back wanting to implement it. They had no previous AGILE classes or experience. And the Enterprise Agile Office was saying DON'T USE SAFe!!

But they had one class and that was the only way they would agree to structure their group.

I'm probably wrong but since it was discovered in a sacrificial pit I assumed the bronze age people burned the silk as a way to "communicate with heaven".

Silk does not burn in normal flame.

If you are buying a 'silk' garment it is common to ask the shop-keeper to hold it to a cigarette lighter to prove it does not contain a synthetic petroleum-based fabric, such as polyester.

Still, a very pretty sentence for an abstract.

I reached out to a recruiter I know about a job posted on their company's site. They replied that wasn't a real posting it was just to get people in the pipeline. They did say if it was a "real" posting they were hiring for it will have as ReqID at the top of the page. Too bad that's not something you could filter for.

I see so much backlash against Project Managers and they're just Outlook Calendars with legs, but this post is basically a love letter to good Project Managers/Release Train Engineers/Delivery Leads, whatever you want to call it.

I think the problem with those is that they lack understanding author mentions:

> But it’s really important that one person on the project has an end-to-end understanding of the whole thing: how it hangs together technically, and what product or business purpose it serves.

The reason people hate specialized roles of scrum masters/delivery leads is that they often lack the E2E understanding and therefor are inadequate owners.

Yeah but a good technical PM / whatever will have that understanding. Not a role that just checks milestones and statuses.

I'm not sure it's Jira-fication. I think it's mapping effort back to something that has a direct result to the bottom line.

Example: I used to work for a company that basically made slot machines. We needed to produce something called parsheets to give to submit to get our slots certified and to the casino. I was given the project but no manager wanted to give any developers to implement it. No one wanted to give the money to buy a computer with enough power to run simulations to produce the theoretical hold. But this was something we NEEDED to help get our games approved.

You left us hanging: So, what happened?

Cristobol and Hank's whole business strategy down the drain! (From Barry)

Right, but how much work is done when in the office. You might have the same amount of downtime in the office than at home, but now that down time can't be spent doing something else.

They'd rather pay you to do NOTHING.
