How often does one developer know everything needed to solve a customer problem with code?
On that rare occasion, how beneficial is it to the business for nobody else to have been involved?

Toto, I've a feeling we're not not far from Kansas anymore.We were supposed to be, but today needing a plane from Chicago and a runway in Newark were two too many dependencies. Rescheduled for tomorrow's flight home. Switched Residences Inn. Went for a swim.McClane likes this.

Excited for Monday? Maybe not?I joined @mrsungo to talk about Personal Kanban, which I summarized as two rules and one intention. The intention: "See and master your own choices. You make a lot of them every day, and they add up."The podcast: https://schmonz.com/talk/20190331-reluctant-agilist/ #pkflow2019-04-01T01:00:05Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
14 years ago I forged a sequence of emails "importing" #qmail into #netbsd, suggesting we'd soon switch over: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2005/04/01/0003.htmlI got some Very Concerned Responses.Today, it wouldn't be a good prank.

Emotions contain information. Lean, behavioral econ, and systems thinking are related. Combine them to build better habits.I relearned and resynthesized rather a lot in last week's Personal Kanban class: https://schmonz.com/2019/03/11/training-personal-kanban/2019-03-04T17:45:16Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Last month, given only 5 minutes, I explained how to run your own email server.
Wednesday I’ll share the tale of some extraordinary open-source #LegacyCode — still valuable after 20 years! — and of how I’ve made it easy to install, live with, and extend.

As a dog- and pun-loving programmer, I wish "Irish Setter" were a term of our art. Now accepting submissions. Bonus points for providing a compatible definition of "Irish Getter". (DQ, of course, for uncareful or unkind use of stereotypes.)McClane, nukem, clacke@libranet.de ❌ likes this.
