I'm at about 80% of the "Flow Metrics for Scrum Teams" book by Daniel Vacanti and Will Seele, and although I can agree with the shortcomings of Fibonacci-based storypoint velocity calculation, the alternative of Monte Carlo Simulation based probabilistic prediction doesn't seem to be practically viable either. Does anyone have actual exerperience applying this?

Meta is adding phone home functionality to #WhatsApp so it can add an #AI chatbot. What could possibly go wrong?

Remember Cambridge Analytica. Stop using #Meta products. Just switch to @signalapp . Most people have done so already and are only forced to keep WhatsApp for the stragglers.

After 3,5 years of working with #gradle I'm back with #maven and one thing I'm enjoying is the uniformity of how to configure Maven. With Gradle, it seems there are several ways of doing the same thing, and they don't all work when combined.

I can highly recommend using a lightweight library like #Javalin instead of #Spring (Boot), next time you build a #Java / #Kotlin web application, just to experience what you're (not) missing.

TIL that @drawio supports @simonbrown 's #c4 graphical notation for #softwarearchitecture.

For a hackathon this weekend, we built a small application in #Kotlin, #Javalin and #Lit that uses #Tensorflow to detect if you're about to upload something you might want to reconsider, and then allows stripping Exif metadata for privacy.

We also looked at distorting the image to make it unusable for training an #AI. In one day we could just garble the image beyond human recognition, but a better option would be integrating #Glaze to distort it for AI yet not for the human eye.

Just saw this on my LinkedIn public feed listed as a requirement for a job: “High intensity and stress tolerance”

Any normal CEO might questions themselves if their company is posting job ads like that. But many would see it is a badge of honour.

Ever wondered why Design Patterns didn't take off? Did you ever wonder how they became so all-pervasive but also so empty and soulless? Those were the sparking thoughts behind this book. It's taken four years of research and way too much of my spare time. Go check out Unresolved Forces: https://www.unresolvedforces.com/

It's food for thought that #Automattic indicate that the new feature to opt-out of sharing your content with third parties, notably AI partners, is automatically turned on (so opt-out by default) if you've indicated you don't want search engines to crawl your content.

https://wordpress.com/blog/2024/02/27/more-control-over-the-content-you-share/

That sounds fair, until you consider that the need to have people find your content is opposite to having someone steal your content to generate competing content. Feeding #AI is not #SEO.

I've worked at some pretty big companies and at every one I've encountered decisionmakers who will say "we don't need to gather data on this. If other company X does it, the data is probably solid" just to dodge the hassle of defining and measuring actual value, and consequently copying each other's ineffective #UX.
