Sometimes I write a TODO comment when we are waiting for a library to release a new version to fix a workaround or patch
But even better is a test that will fail when you've upgraded the library so you remember to go back
High WIP / Kanban strategy q: working in a team where we work with many 3rd party suppliers, tasks often involve investigating our side, submitting a ticket to them, waiting 2-3 weeks for a resolution, then picking up the work again. Makes even JIY pull based priority tricky 1/2
As tickets can become unblocked at any point, and often then falls behind work we’ve started even though it’s already committed too. Other work that doesn’t involve suppliers is fine and has decent cycle time. Often this leads to high WIP as feel obligated to either 2/3

"It's called Kubernetes, and Joe, get this, it'll fix basically all of our problems. I haven't dealt with it myself, but I did read about it in CIO magazine and immediately told all our developers to start migrating. Apparently you just give it a container and it handles everything for you. You don't need to worry about security or scaling or anything else."

Working at startup is basically like “the eng team uses Github, product is transitioning from Notion to Confluence but some things are still in Google Docs, marketing likes a mix of Asana and Clickup, but make sure to keep Airtable updated. Do NOT use Evernote without approval

Some argue you cannot know cost of delay, so why focus on it? This ignores that costly decisions are already being made based on guesses about value, typically using assumptions no one is even trying to surface and derisk.

Such extreme standardisation - of time, distance, and everything else - became necessary in an increasingly globalised and industrial world.
Whereas every town once kept its own time, the rise of railways forced the introduction of time zones to prevent total transport chaos.

Maybe I’m wrong with this, but feel like generating docs with AI won’t be actually a net benefit.
1) I view writing as a form of thinking, using AI to write will skip the thinking
2) Docs without thinking might be just garbage and shouldn’t to written or read anyway

this is not a “I woke up early” humble brag but a real question I’m confused about. if you eat breakfast at 5:30am what time are you supposed to eat lunch? can I eat lunch at 10:15am? is dinner at 4pm? do I just eat a fourth meal? can a more experienced morning person explain

I was taking a look at some #scrum team #storypoint data today while making the case for tracking cycle time and other #flow #metrics, and decided 2 look at the correlation coefficient between cycle time and story points; it was -0.07 for the last 100 work items #agile
