Aging geek. Elixir Language Fan, Lean/agile delivery consultant/coach (if you mean what I mean when I say that). Excited by ecology, biodiversity and wilding.

Desperately trying to hang onto some nuance in a world of microblogging.

Fun word rot updates I have noticed in the tech industry:

  • Agile now means SAFe
  • Trunk based development now means Feature Branching
  • Tribe now means department
  • Continous deployment, Delivery and CI all mean the same thing
  • TDD means you write tests at some point
  • Automated testing means there is one or more automated test but most things can still be manual

"Visionaries at NASA identified a futuristic new energy source (space billionaire egos) and found a way to tap it on a fixed-cost basis"— ouch!

The Lunacy of Artemis (Idle Words), or why the Artemis moon program is incoherent, badly designed bollocks that will probably kill astronauts.

I am increasingly convinced that Starhip will never leave earth orbit. Whatever its owner believes.

OTOH if SpaceX manages to make it work as designed for orbital launches it will fundementally change the economics of space and enable many cool future projects.

This week's major project is splitting the tractor, to replace the failed oil seal which is leaking oil from the gearbox into the clutch housing. We've got to the point where the only thing still holding the front half of the tractor to the rear is the steering linkage, and I can't remember how we split that last time!

Should this be bigger or smaller (or fundamentally different)?

Any people on here who have both experience with #ddd + #teamtopologies and #less or #fast?

It feels that stream-aligned teams and the fluid teams is a big conflict? And I'm wondering what kind of tradeoffs you've found when working with one or the other?

For example, how do devs build deep domain expertise in fluid teams?

Or if you do TeamToplogies, does it always mean that you might need to rework your architecture so teams can work on value and not just on individual components?

@matthewskelton @tcoopman

While I can understand why you might argue your first point (though I tend to disagree with it), I see zero evidence to support the second.

While I think you may have a point with LeSS. They have long lived 7-10 person stable teams that are expected to be "fungible" but I think that you are discounting the various rapid reteaming processes within a FAST collective.

TBH it feels like a replay, at team level, the C2 wiki falling out between Coplien and the XP crowd over code ownership.

I'm not saying you are wrong in that it might not work. But I think code ownership is addressed at a different level.
