I said stop it I’m not taking your picture!
Yes yes single threaded execution etc but now we just build a crap ton more and keep increasing the computational throughput per watt etc.
We’ve moved massive calculations into GPUs and thus in terms computational capabilities it holds up.
I mean check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS
The geometric growth is real. Moore’s law was just one way to explain it.
Moore’s law predicts that compared to 1980, computers in 2040 would be a BILLION times faster.
Also that compared to 1994 computers, the ones rolling out now are a MILLION times faster.
A cheap Raspberry PI would easily be able to handle the computational workload of a room full of equipment in 1984.
What would have taken a million years to calculate in 1984 would theoretically take 131 hours today and 29 seconds in 2044…
You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.
That makes sense. Silly me
Cheers
Ideally your estimates would just be complexity points. And those estimates would go on on the stories in Jira/Azure Dev Ops / wherever
And honestly the team should meet up and discuss the estimates
I don’t understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases.
How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years.
How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months.
How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years.
How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.
Good ones are pretty rare and good program managers are even rarer.
What they should do, and what most actually do, are different things.
Project managers must be great with humans and communication. If they are not, then they just can’t be effective.
If the timing is critical then the only reasonable solution is to cut scope and features until it fits.
The triangle isn’t a rubbery floppy thing, it is iron!
Geez… Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.
They don’t get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.
Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like “4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK” like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.
You have to build a training plan for fresh. Measure at the macro, not micro.
Did the important things get done over the year? Great.
Coach for impact, end to end problem ownership, initiative, efficient communication, follow and follow through.
Delegate mentoring to those who you see as good examples. Credit the mentors for excellence in mentoring. Credit the rookies for improvement.
Micromanaging is not a scalable or effective approach
As if that even works.
If you are in any kind of knowing+ problem solving role, a bunch of tasks doesn’t explain having ownership or responsibilities.
That sucks that you are being subjected to that as part of the enshitification.
Yep you can definitely build lots of skyscrapers, then just demolish them without any financial repercussion.
You’re late for your bus to Disney!
Bus dumps you in Dallas
Gonna cry?
“The official said crew on the dhow, which did not have a country flag, were planning to transfer the missile parts, including warheads and engines, to another boat off the coast of Somalia.”
Looks like “Finding Out” to me.
The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same. Military firefighters and combat medics probably have the darkest humor. We’ve all collectively decided we want people to be really good at killing people and blowing shit up so other people don’t kill out people and blow our shit up.
Mocking SpecOps who are KIA is something generally off limits for me. I handed over a hundred of our flags to surviving family so I’m humor dysfunctional in that area. However… jokes? Okay that’s kinda funny. Best if served from combat vets I think. I regret making a fuss. Dysfunctional.
I hope you’re respected in similar fashion some day and it hurts.
No one, it just makes sense.
You must be one of those “Throw your mother downstairs, the box of tissues” types.
Yoda sounded normal to you I bet.
