And the discussion on whether or not to pin versions.

Pinned, these packages work together, but don’t automatically pull in security updates.

Don’t pin, things randomly change on each build, best of luck debugging things.

Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they’re happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won’t be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They’re all valid options as long as you’re not forced into it.

Someone else wrote some code, and he reviewed it and approved it, and merged it into the codebase.

Not sure why this is downvoted. It’s a lifestyle choice that is a genuine choice. You don’t have to live in SF if it’s not for you.

Finally, thanks I’ve been trying to remember the name of this for ages

I’m not sure there is a correct way to do this

Oh good god

I have the opposite issue with helm charts, where true and false are very, very loosely defined.

This is why I ask for the schema at the same time as asking for (even example) data at the start of a project. Don’t tell me you have the data, give me proof there’s a standardized structure, or the length of the project just tripled.

The fix might be 5 mins. Figuring out wtf was wrong in the first place is the time consuming bit. Especially if the report doesn’t contain a repeatable process to trigger the error condition.

Put it in the backlog and we’ll prioritise it in the next sprint planning. Except we’ve already got a good idea of what’s going in to the next sprint, so we’ll probably get to it in a month. Or two. End of the year tops. Bring it up in the quarterly planning if we haven’t finished it yet, and maybe we can squeeze it in before Q2. Unless the win the ACME project in which case all hands will be on that, so actually plan for it to be in production by Xmas. No, the one after that.

What?

I hate it. If I interact with a system in anything more than a very sporadic way, I end up with multiple objects on screen that all say “created just now” which is completely unhelpful.

Luckily most systems can re-enable actual time again (even if it is buried in a settings menu) so I can see what’s actually happening.

I didn’t need to read that

I don’t see how any of this is helping the shareholders

Still too long, gimme the broad strokes here. I’m far too busy to interact with art, just gimme the facts.

Ducks and birds? What is this magic

What are birds? We just don’t know.

I was taught maths from a guy with a really strong London accent which resulted in both words sounding the same, approximately qua-i-a-ive. Which made the lesson tricky to follow.
