<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@tef" class="u-url mention">@<span>tef</span></a></span> It&#39;s true, but at least on the first point the alternative is &quot;let engineers make themselves irreplaceable&quot;, which becomes an issue when people eventually quit...</p>

<p>software engineering methodologies are simple, there&#39;s really only two goals</p><p>the first goal of a methodology is to make workers replaceable, and this is usually achieved by removing any worker agency in the project</p><p>the second goal of a methodology is to insulate decision makers from risk and this is usually achieved by blaming the workers for failure—for not hitting estimates forced upon them</p><p>unfortunately, &quot;delivering software people want&quot; doesn&#39;t make the cut</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> &quot;My ID clearly says right here that I’m 29!”</p>

<p>After less than 36 hours, I’m back at the airport but this time things seem to be going much more smoothly. Fingers crossed! </p><p>Also, I got carded in the Sky Club, which is always a sign of a great day.</p>
