Looking at this post and thread, I wonder... Maybe most of the guys doing it right are busy delivering good stuff and being happy instead of complaining that "Agile doesn't work"?

I see it all the time people blaming everything they don't understand, Agile or not, for their woes. I've seen people questioning *automated testing* and *version control*.

The big thing about Agile is that it makes peace with the fact that people are *flawed*, that not everybody is a mind reader, and that it's much more likely for people to get things wrong without frequent validation than not.

It's just like Controllers. Use an open-loop controller and you're sure to be sad.

But I must confess that I didn't get Agile either until being exposed to Lean principles. So maybe people need to be exposed to Agile through different angles to be able to get it...

@Beauhd, please fix this post...

Or, they've lost focus and it's showing (my opinion).

My bad, I probably misunderstood the noble goal of replacing state owned currencies with people owned cryptocurrencies as something that was actually looked forward to.

Out of curiosity, have you considered that scenario with half the masses counting on their bitcoin portfolio to pay their rent?

They considered a few other options to classify Uber, like a mid-sized sedan, swamp gas, camera smudge, or man in ape suit.

I think that exposing the source code complements blind validation by allowing experienced programmers to detect failures that would not otherwise be detected by a controlled experiment. Also, Dieselgate.

I fully agree to the plaintiffs in this situation and I fully disagree with all arguments put forward by the company's owner. There's no hypocrisy regarding the non-tried suspects, and the fact that guilty people might have gotten off without even going to trial due to his software claiming innocence even worsens the case.

Nonsense... The guy says it's not necessary "because his company runs its own validation testing". Why can't you trust the guy and his company to validate his own stuff? Why??

I'd have loved to see Chrome and Firefox popping up such notices in retaliation :)

I'd find sorting based on score much more useful than first-come-first-served. The score would have to be unlimited for it to work, or sorting score be somehow separated from the -1 to 5 scoring system.

Maybe supporting both sorting methods would make everybody happy.

"News for nerds, stuff that matters".

I consider myself a nerd, and this matters to me. I also infer that nerds in general would be interested in more than tech news, including a US border scandal happening abroad and involving the religion in the spotlight, but I may be wrong.

Maybe since that motto is no longer visible, it may well no longer be the guide for its content subjects. If that's the case, a newer guide doesn't seem to be visible anywhere else either, so assume "tech/geek" at your own risk.

Hope that helps.
