company and product names should be generated from a list of pre-approved names by the government. They're very simple and descriptive but because there's so few approved ones, your product name will have to be appended a number google (Now called Search12) has already registered Messenger98 up to Messenger554

like anything, the ratio of ppl consuming the custom stuff vs making the custom stuff is extremely skewed. You can make things on a phone and it's hell of alot easier than a TI-83. On first glance, I don't think there's that many more kids making a computer do a thing than 20 years ago, especially relative to how many consume the end results. It's always attracted a certain _type_ of person and that type of person spawns at the same rate as before. This is not a "programming is hard" thing. This is a "most people would rather do anything else" thing. edit The real thing that has skewed it a bit is at the prestige HS and college level. Because it pays (maybe used to pay soon enough) so well, all the upper middle class families think it's now one of the "good paths" alongside lawyer, doctor, consultant, etc and it only needs a bachelor. In the past few years, the average out-of-college person I interviewed has shifted from "I just really liked playing games" or "I found I wasn't good at anything else" to "Well I spent high school and college being rammed through extremely rigorous courses, tutoring, got 5 internships at major companies, and now I'm here". The average person comes from way more wealth than before which means they're happy there's a recession because "Jane Street is gonna do super well now!"

PC is still way more fiddly about sound than consoles. The PS5 and switch does surround sound just fine. The PC needs some bullshit dolby stuff that works maybe 30% of the time. Windows is also really bad about Bluetooth for some reason. It was good in win10 and they somehow hosed it all up in 11.

Enderzero posted:these are fair points but the primary fiddliness now come from gpu stuff, and even that’s not too bad. games almost universally launch too soon but on pc you do have the ability to apply quick fixes. on the other hand, the wide distribution of configurations means sometimes you’re out of luck or stuck waiting - consoles at least get pretty consistent fixes. trade offs everywhere i've never had issues with GPUs since the geforce 8800 days, but i also just buy the most popular one i think the nitpicking of specific bad PC releases presumes consoles just work fine, when in fact they don't and you just can't do anything about it. Even amazing games like BoTW become a 10-20fps shitshow a lot of the time. Not much discussion about it except maybe in reviews because it is what it is.

our project manager increased meeting count so that we now have 2 days every 2 weeks where it's just all meetings. This was in response to the fact that we had too many meetings strewn across the week. instead we now have 2 3 hour blocks one day every week and then 2 1 hour blocks on the other days. Our velocity has decreased but when I point that out, they counter with "velocity is not the point"

also as technical lead for the team, I'm in charge of writing the tickets. I write them in google sheets, export as CSV, and create them in batches on Jira. We then spend 10-20 minutes per ticket pointing them. When we need something done in less than 2 sprints, we just say "this can be done by this person", and keep it unpointed. Otherwise it would break the system because you're supposed to write the ticket, point in the ceremony the next sprint, then add them to the following sprint, forcing a 4 week lead time.

the best way to actually get work done is by creating adhoc tickets and saying "this was a customer ask" which the oncall person has to handle unsurprisingly, the oncall person also happens to do the most work outside of triages.

when you're not on call, you pick up your 1 (or maybe 2 tickets), and then just keep saying "working on it" in standup until the end of the sprint where you say you're done that way, we guarantee that all our "sprint goals" are complete because we finished everything we "wanted to do" honestly, saying this all out, it's pretty good because still getting paid and layoffs don't think about how much work anyone has done.

i'm only sad that AI will be much harder to bust compared to crypto because understanding the shittiness is a slow burn and most people are just wowed by the demo also, it can generate infinite bad porn, which is also enough value for most people

the idea of syncing with the people you work with on a regular basis is normal and how humans make anything that's not just a countable factory line the fact that it turned into a whole industry of program managers/scrum masters/delivery leads who are somehow even less useful than product managers is the real sickness recently they forced us to move all our "ceremonies" to a single day so we just have a day with 6 hours of meetings but of course sometimes that's not enough and we need additional "refinements" because it often takes more time to point a ticket than to actually do the ticket

the cult of kpi and okr I recently removed myself from the lead eng position and now I'm just a scrub IC but it's pretty nice to finish the expected amount of weekly work and just say "working on [already done work]" for the next 6 workdays

qirex posted:this is what a good product manager does, catches all the weird poo poo in the requirements instead of simply being a happy path/minimum viable product "ship it" cheerleader like so many are today I have never seen this in my life. Usually it’s the architect who sets out the plan and was smart enough to design it in a way that you fill in all the gaps as you build it out. It’s also important that person does not leave before product launch. I strongly believe this is why products made by 1 or a few people are so good, see most indie mac apps. The architect never left and the product requirements didn’t go through 3 layers of the telephone game. They also always immediately go to poo poo when bought by a bigger company which just enforced my conclusion
