    ...why doesn’t everyone take the cash payout and go home?

    I've only gotten I think 5 of the gym badges in shield so far but perhaps I need to get to the end game a little faster because that sounds fun.

    And then, instead, I'll get stuck breeding ditto forever.

    I'm not one to kink shame, but if you're not comfortable not using contraception you can just elect not to do it

    I mean...yeah. I on occasion will hit a happy hour with a couple of work friends, but for the most part I don’t want any part of a company wide event. I’ll go to the office Xmas party, but only because it’ll help me get a raise.

    I've already got my excuses sorted for leaving early / not drinking
    1) cats to feed
    2) bus travel disrupted by road works
    3) still recovering from cold
    4) early train in the morning for a 5.5hr trip to parents' place

    Gotta admit, I didn’t see Peyton Manning nabbing the Madden 2020 cover.

    He’s in his Colts jersey, too.

    Work Holiday party/EoY meeting is in Vegas

    I absolutely do not want to go to Vegas

    Why can't we have it in LA like last year? Because people complained, also HQ is in LA. Also also apparently people from LA just fucking love Vegas

    Um. That's a "dragapult." It's a ghost/dragon. It appears to be a dragon with the head of a stealth bomber with tiny versions of itself loaded as missiles.

    Hrm, so tomorrow, do I stream Halo Reach, Phoenix Point, or Twitch Sings like normal? Phoenix Point looks super cool, Halo Reach on my PC looking all shinied up is pretty tempting, but I'd wanna do that co-op I'm guessing.

    I have a required training in Agile principles and something called "Scaled Agile Framework" how bored will I be at this training [chat]?

    Luckily its in a week. But it is also screwing up a planned fun working lunch with my team. So that sucks.

    oh god my co. is a recent SAFe devotee

    problem: the sprints exist to be interrupted. When I look at the weekly items list on random dev teams, more than half are must-do-by-this-week raised from sales and QA; the generic "work on small corrective patches" item is permanently swamped. None of the sprint teams are isolated, and priority feedback from sales and QA directly to devs is common

    I'm convinced that SAFe is buzzword salad. it really needs to emphasize what is not SAFe rather than what it theoretically is, but that would entail hard choices

    you will be super bored

    our implementation sucks, not sure if that's because the framework is bad or because business people really don't like agile

    Its weird. The next project will be just odd.

    I am still not sure what the hell I am even doing.

    It has been described in a way that I think I am like a data architect? Maybe programming? Maybe leading a team?

    I legit am not sure what.

    No one else is sure either.

    Both.

    The framework is bad because business people incompetent managers/MBAs really don't like agile.

  • thatassemblyguythatassemblyguy Janitor of Technical Debt .Registered User regular
    My impression of SAFe is that a bunch of the old-guard managers, accountants and project leaders got together and decided that this whole, "lets invest in a long-term multi-discipline team that can reliably estimate their output without the fear or pressure of putting a real-world time stamp on the estimate." didn't allow them to micro manage, and/or make pretty graphs, so they just disappeared good agile principles and instead put the old waterfall and bad management practices in their place with different names.
