The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425,000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses.

Demand for Guild Wars Reforged blew past our projections, causing long downloads for some non-Steam players. We’re adding servers & exploring new options to fix this before the weekend. Thanks for your patience!

Which is not to say it isn't useful. It can be used as a tool for rapid prototyping. For learning how to use a library. For drafting documentation. But will it replace human software engineers? Not any time soon.

The nurses with the most experience seem to be carrying out administrative tasks and constant management and shepherding of lesser experienced staff. They were so clearly trying to make a very broken system work with the few scraps thrown to them by successive governments.

My most excellent colleague @ezimuel recently wrote an article on how to communicate with #Elastic using an #Arduino and the client library he built during one of our lab weeks. If you have a few minutes for something geeky, then it's well worth a read :) https://t.co/M1KfXInnKU

We are happy to announce a new, easier-than-ever way to communicate with Elasticsearch using Arduino boards! A simple but powerful library leading to many new opportunities for all.

"UK silicon startups to share £1.3M chump change as part of chip strategy" 12 firms get to split just £1.3 million in government funding. Meanwhile, the EU is throwing €43 billion (£37 billion) at its own chip sector. That's over 28,000x more. https://t.co/LpqfVnewQg
