Is there a (oral) history of agile development (particularly scrum)? There are many interesting assumptions in the concept and methods, and I am curious what shaped them #agile #management #development

I often read that #UXDesign ers should learn more about business and management. It sure is useful knowledge but I wonder: Is "learning more about business" a common sentiment in other professions too?

Recently re-read this. So good. I'm that middle class kid. I had my one throw, but now trying to afford more tickets for more throws, through things like freelancing. All the while just hoping I'll never have to go back to working at the carnival.

i want 'programmers looking down on spreadsheets' discourse but like the opposite, like spreadsheet people looking down on programmers 'how can programmers stand not seeing the concrete data they're operating on' 'how can programmers tolerate not being able to live edit code'

I wonder: Free/Libre/Open Source Software is build around the idea of collaboration, but are there statistics on how projects actually have multiple contributors? (sure there are – I was unable to find them so far!) [Crosspost from mastodon, where I did not find the answer]

The real 'divide' isn't between AI 'Safety' & AI 'Ethics'. It's between 'risk' & 'harm.' Risk mitigation is a firm-focused corporate/technical/anti-litigation strategy. Harm reduction is people-focused, based on acknowledging, investigating, mitigating, ending, repairing harm.

Literally just yelled "NO" at my screen yankodesign.com/2023/06/02/app… "The user can select an on-screen item by simply looking at it and activate it by making a hand gesture, such as a pinch." HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE DIE THE KINECT'S DEATH

@lingerie_addict If you buy an expensive item don't save it for a special occasion, wear it. Wear it, repair it, keep wearing it.

We need to shift the focus from 'AI risk,' whether 'existential' or not, to AI harm. 'AI' (automated decision systems, LLMs, generative tools for images, voice, and video, predictive policing and other forms of automated carcerality, and more) are harming people RIGHT NOW.

Asking "if NPS is bad, what one metric should we use instead?" is a lot like asking "if this magic wand doesn't work, should we try a staff or an orb?"
