Apple software used to exhibit reasonable UX for “edge cases” just like the one you described. This was one of my main reasons for going Mac — they cared about the details. Sad to see that seems to be going away.
Yes — the Wikipedia article that I linked says so as well. But Polestar is headquartered in Sweden, and the cars are designed by Swedes in Sweden. It’s a Swedish brand.
It’s not just you — something happened with me where I mentally checked out from the MacOS train after Lion. The versions from Mavericks and up are “those newfangled versions with their silly names”. And Mavericks is 10 years old! Maybe it was the RDF wearing off.
Something that coroutines made a big impact on for us was testing. Multi-step integration tests became a breeze. With state machines, each test would need its own FSM, and callbacks would make the flow hard to read.
Great teams self-manage. Managers and management generally exist to ensure a baseline, but they can’t really do much more. In a strong team, everyone displays leadership properties, and they typically don’t listen to non-technical management.
You don’t have to, most people buy their apartment. If you don’t have the money when you’re young, parents tend to help out with the down payment. The more you get from your parents, the closer to the city center you can live.
I can see why this doesn’t work for everyone, and I wonder what kind of social effects it will have.
I’m not sure that’s it. Sure, Norway was invaded but it was a pretty “benign” invasion in comparison to what happened to others. Same with Denmark. Would be interesting to see their stock market returns.
I’ve been on the stakeholder side in similar situations. Rather than saying that they were very busy and that it can take a while to get my task done, they strung me along (“we’ll take it up in next sprint planning”, “oh we missed your task, but it might be added to next sprint”, etc). Granted, this is an anecdote, but if a team can only plan a couple of weeks ahead, how should stakeholders be able to plan?
The argument is usually that sprints just add overhead on top of picking the highest prio work from the backlog. Ie, sprints don’t have to be replaced with anything since there are no benefits.
How do you deal with errors? Do you check them at every callsite and manually “bubble up”, or do you use exceptions?
I’d love to use coroutines but we don’t use exceptions and I’m not super excited about handling errors manually.
