I heard that the Vegans originally were a tribe of indians who lived near today's west coast of the US. Their name meant something like 'terrible hunters'.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

There's no such thing as a secret vegan.

Meanwhile, meat eaters are bashings vegans because everyone has to know you eat meat and vegetables aren't for real men and you're real manly for owning a barbeque on which you only put real meat.
I'm just stating my diet so I get something I want to eat, because if I don't I get meat.
You'd think people wouldn't be so in your face about eating meat

Action/reaction. Which one do you think might have started it?
|
|
|
|

Going by that logic, why do you think us vegans need to show off our diet? Action/reaction.
People have been posting their meals online for a long time, but when a vegan does it "they'll tell you they're vegan."
From my own experience, I've seen a lot of posts advertising meat and a lot of posts about vegans telling you they're vegan, but I've seen very few posts of vegans telling people they're vegan.
I have noticed people acting weird around vegan products (like it's some kind of poison) or when I tell them I'm vegetarian.
Other than that, as said, when I'm with a group of people and we're going out to eat, or when I'm eating over at someone else's place, I should mention I'm a vegetarian or I'll get meat.
It's kind of like saying "How do you know someone's allergic? They'll tell you!" Hell yeah they'll tell you, they don't want to eat something they're allergic to

I'll be having a grilled cheese sandwich today (or tosti in Dutch).
Dutch usually have a tosti with ham and cheese, but obviously I'll be having just the cheese because I'M A VEGETARIAN AND I'M JUST POSTING THIS SO I CAN STATE THIS FACT AND ALL SHOULD SEE!
Seriously though, I'll be having a "cheese tosti" and I'm already looking forward to it

Sander Rossel wrote: I'll be having just the cheese In that case, you should make it lacto-vegetarian. Real cheese is not vegetarian.
You can find stuff that looks like cheese (I would deny that it tastes like real cheese) made from e.g. soy protein. You are not allowed to sell it as cheese here in Norway, and I guess that goes for all of EU as well. Maybe you have your tosti with soy "cheese", but that is a fake.

What were their pronouns?
I actually had that asked on a followup survey for medical care. Just the question, "what are your pronouns?".
No, really.
I gave them George Carlin's seven words.

From CP newsletter
Agile process can spur micromanagement and poorly maintained code, says ex-Google software engineer • DEVCLASS[^]
Article that is commenting on a book which reflects on Agile.
"Estimates of how long work will take become deadlines and engineers feel untrusted, scrutinized, and negatively criticized when things do not go well."
I have definitely seen that happen. It has gotten so when I see poor Epics/Stories or many fuzzy bugs I just claim it will take 6 months. If they insist on a better 'estimate' then I state it will take time and research to refine it.
"Feature flags, a way of enabling and disabling features, may be introduced to improve reliability, but “too many flags mean there are too many combinations,” Guler writes, so that proper testing is difficult."
Proper testing? If that was the only problem it would be great.
I have seen a case where the 'feature' flag was so old no one even knew what it was for. Even looking at the code did not make it clear.
In many other cases if documentation existed it was so minimal that it was hard to tell what it was for or even how to use it.
Then of course there was the problem that when a new feature flag was turned on any and every problem after that was blamed on the flag. Even when it was obvious that it could not have an impact.
"Pair programming, where two developers sit together and work on the same code, is a “brand of torture” and “highly distracting,” "
I always figured it was just a certain way to significantly reduce my productivity. But that description fits well.
However what the article doesn't mention is that there is nothing better.

Whatever estimate I give -- add six months.
|
|
|
|

Some will find your post amusing, but there's a lot of truth in it for larger projects that don't have similar precursors. For those, any estimate without a design is just taking a stab at it. Not only that, any large-scale design that I did always evolved when the code started to speak to me.

Agile is just Waterfall with a shorter initial release date and a lot of Day 2 features to add, and the wishful thinking of "business involvement". Regardless of which method you choose, if the design, the need for requirements, breaking the solution into smaller bits, and prioritizing those bits aren't part of your plan you're doing it wrong.
The true evil of Agile is adding Scrum. Breaking the work into arbitrary and meaningless units of time might help project managers but they are insane for application development. Sure, I'll build you a house in a couple of weeks. Unless it rains. Or a tornado hits and I have to start over. Or half my workers quit. Or ...
There are no solutions, only trade-offs. - Thomas Sowell

I think most people (developers/managers) have difficulty splitting tasks into smaller sub-tasks.
Every time we define tasks for a new sprint, we spend some time discussing, arguing, splitting them up.
We have tasks that spans a few months, but at every sprint we can actually show progress (designed, coded and tested) in the main production branch.
