Honestly. The Agile methods can be boiled down to this: 1. Work in short cycles. 2. Measure what happens. 3. Adapt. If you don't find story points helpful, don't use story points. If daily scrums are getting in the way, don't do daily scrums. If the cycle is too long, shorten the cycle. If the cycle is too short, lengthen the cycle. Amplify the things that work. Change the things that don't. And, for God's sake, stop all the bellyaching.

I wrote a follow-up to my last article on recursion: dev.to/codejet/time-space-an…. And I'll leave you to uncover what exactly lies behind the somewhat nebulous title (and image) 😁

Is Gatsby in Decline from @muzzlehatch_ is a great summary of points on why @GatsbyJS is still relevant. I love posts that pull out the positivity/relevancy when it seems the dev world has moved on. Thanks to @JAMstacked and @remotesynth for the find. deliciousreverie.co.uk/posts…

At the age of 21 I had an established software engineering career, a wife and kids, a (rental) house in the burbs, and generally felt I had a lot of things figured out. And now, from age 41, a comprehensive list of everything I was right about: 1. Pie is superior to cake. (fin)

Serverless doesn’t mean there’s no servers, it means we think about servers less.

This year I can only attend @webexpo virtually. Not the same, but I still expect it to be awesome.

In case you missed it, I wrote up everything I’ve learned about asking your company to sponsor an open source project. We need companies to contribute more, and you can help get the ball rolling at your company. humanwhocodes.com/blog/2021/…

I wrote jakearchibald.com/2013/progr… back in 2013 because of the trend of client-side only sites, and some framework authors (not React) wrote dismissive responses, making fun of the "old fashioned" idea. Glad to see progressive enhancement finally coming back.
