This thread by @Patricia is amazing. I've been curiously looking at what the Norwegian job marked for my skills is like, and Agile comes up so often. And... This perspective by a developer I very much respect is really.nice.
@jimgar I love people having opinions, as i have them too! Just not about this topic as i know very little about it. Coming into dev from a social science, there is so much of this type of things i know very little of.
But now I've watched several clips about scrum Vs agile ,and I can totally see where you are coming from.
And I'm a little surprised that Agile is listed as a skill on job postings? It's listed often in the same sentence with specific software skills for jobs.
@yabellini@gvwilson in my world, there must be chocolate-something on my birthday. cake, mousse, icecream. There must be chocolate, and it must have been prepared somehow (i.e., you are not getting away with a simple bar of chocolate... Unless it's a mega pack of kinder.... I might forgive that 🤣)
@noamross@rOpenSci@ResearchOrgs cool cool cool 😎 sounds like a great initiative! I think linked metadata is increasingly any person working with data's love language 💜❤️
Thank you continuous backups! I was working in RStudio and the git pane was showing "./" as being staged and I was unable to unstage it. It displayed a small amount of code from one R function, so I just reverted it after backing up that file... which reverted ALL the files in the repo to their last state (with days worth of work being gone) 😬 😬 😬
Thankfully I was able to pull versions of the files from an hour prior from backblaze, with minimal work lost
My Macbook's habit of intentionally not using the power cable and draining its battery just before I want to use it while traveling is getting very annoying.
At the least it could give some sort of message before entering battery-drain mode?? thanks #Apple.
@joelnitta i believe there is a setting to turn off the intelligent charging mode (or what it's called). When travelling I make sure I have that turned off so it charges when the cable is in always.
