Worked at a web property that took scrum, used it and found it lacking in certain cases for development. They Extend it And called the new creation beyond scrum, abbreviated as BS snickers.

Unrelated to the shortcomings we found that Scrumm with the timeboxing concept did not work for infrastructure teams. You cannot just time box most Infrastructure task and just ship whatever you have when you exceeded your initially planned timeframe.

We came up with Kanban as a way to document progress. The swimming lanes together with a limit on things that can be simultaneously in flight served to mirror reality as an operational team much better than pure Scrum.

Southwest 1380 would like a word with you.

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 was a Boeing 737-700 that experienced an uncontained engine failure[a] in the left CFM56-7B engine after departing from New York–LaGuardia Airport en route to Dallas Love Field on April 17, 2018. […] One passenger was partially ejected from the aircraft and sustained fatal injuries[…]

If the person on the phone had said “Capone, Al” instead of “Uh…” he’d possibly not gone to jail.

Even ill gotten gains are taxable and the theory of one crime at a time suggests that even “other, unspecified” could be with paying taxes on to reduce the likelyhood of successful criminal persecution.

I would posit that the fee for tje airline ticket or the fuel and upkeep for your car is a transaction fee levied on cash transactions.

Sure, the bill itself is untouched, but the fee is still extracted.

If all you require a warm bodies to do menial tasks or low- to no-skilled labor? Sure, Pakistan and Africa will be happy to provide these.

If you are trying to rebuild your high-tech industry, however, you require educated people.

And why would these go to Russia if they can go to Europe or the US? Immigrating to Russia with possibly be easier, but it’s still Russia…

I think they store data in DXF. Should be pretty standard thus.

I‘ve been working with sweet home 3d a bit but then gave up on it after running into rendering issues.

Found https://pcon-planner.com/en/?privat=530&page=126 instead which is windows only and bon-open source but effectively free.

Pretty impressive stuff. Been very happy so far.
