we’re doing summer hours rn which means a half day on Friday, and since summers are usually slow due to crunch time being late autumn through spring, it’s just incredibly chill.

its my firmly held belief that fibonacci pointing is done to distract nerds from the interminable points-vs-time discussion

nerds: "why dont we just use hours or days, this point system is ridiculous"

agile coach: "so in the point system, we use a fibonacci number system to represent our estimates"

nerds: "oooo points"

Agile uses cult like jargon to get people lost in the sauce

Agile sucks. I'm here to say it loud and often. Sprints are bad. Points are bad. Millions of meetings are bad. Perhaps the original manifesto had some good ideas but it's been perverted by many seminar holders and expanded into a pile of trash

Either management steers your team or you can do it effectively without the meeting. I've never been in one that was actually useful

Im fact they have been frequently used by lovely managers to snoop on teams and chide them for complaining in my experience. there's 1 right way to agile and a billion wrong ones

mega agreedo

the big thing I like is we end up with a singular activity hosting composable functions, which aligns with how iOS works and eliminates almost if not all of the annoying lifecycle management bullshit that makes android dev a special pain in the rear end

also being able to finally scrap jetpack navigation will be nice

navigation components are...tolerable compared to fragment transactions but i'll cheer on the death of the fragment entirely. put it in the guillotine we should have never left the holy activity
