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.

I’m now tempted to do this for all several thousand commits in the main branch, and at the very least create a better changelog.

It’s fine, the reviewer doesn’t have time to actually look at the code anyway. Lgtm, ship it.

I’m surprised we’re not doing more green hydrogen as an energy battery system to balance out the grid.

It seems like that would work quite well, with the only energy loss being the pressurising to liquid hydrogen, but even then you can recover some of that by recovering the heat when it expands again.

Bad idea for cars, but giant canisters sat around near wind farms seems like it would be fine.

Pay attention. Significantly more cars can make it through the lights per “green” if everyone moves as soon as they can. You’re creating extra stationery traffic for everyone.
