The term is yet again one of those things that people say, but I doubt understand. Certainly not me, but I also don't say it. Any description or links describing what this next demonic use of technology is, so I can sound informed when talking to my Anthroposophist friends that the coming of the anti-Christ won't be as a person but as technology?

What would you like it to mean? 
And did you actually ask about the correct subject?

I tend to compare it to a "multitool" - sounds like a damn good idea but when you try to use it for anything you realise it is completely useless.

It's a lazy theoretic solution, like dark matter.

With doing zero research, I get the impression it's a virtual mall. Like a 3D house tour. Look but no touch; other than maybe a hologram. Virtual scooters to get around? (Don't want to get tired). And "they" will know what you're playing at.

Lol, you couldn't be anymore wrong...
But I guess a nice try if you don't know what it is.

I'm thinking 'adverse' would be more accurate.

Perhaps, now come up with a CCC clue where 'Facebookverse' is the solution.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I've always been a bit of a cowboy coder.
Has everything to do with my first job and it fits my personality, I think.
Not one for lots of rules or things set in stone.
My customers prefer it that way too, they're too busy to worry about the development process, they just want a working project delivered.
I've always disliked scrum for that reason, way to much red tape!
Oh, and I dread the "we can't do that until the next sprint" reply from companies! 
So I'm now working with an external designer (who is also a friend), and he has some problems with this way of working.
It's basically constant changes, shifting priorities, loose deadlines (if at all), etc.
He prefers to know what's up for today, the next two weeks, and the coming months, in that order.
A change should be requested up front, planned, etc.
So basically he prefers (the rigidity of) scrum*.
It even affects his mood in that he doesn't feel like working because he doesn't know what to expect.
As far as I know he's not on the autism spectrum.
Needless to say, as a good developer-manager I'm now trying to keep him out of the chaos and bring some structure to his tasks.
What are the preferences here?
* I know scrum should be the opposite of rigid, but that's not at all how I've experienced it
|
|
|
|
|
Me too! It's why I also prefer to work alone.
It seems that the larger the team the more rigidity is required -- Scrum recommends development teams between three and nine members. Scrum would slow me down.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, with two or three developers you can usually get away with just winging it.
More than three and you'll need some process in place.
Well, depending on the people you're dealing with I guess (but more people means more preferences).
I think it's easier for people like us to follow some process than it is for people who need a process to not have one.

In my experience, the best teams (in terms of work environment and output) are where the team members are given expectations and allowed to work solo. One of the expectations is to communicate ad-hoc with others as necessary, without some project manager trying to manage such discussions or make a team meeting out of every minor question.
