You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.
That makes sense. Silly me
Cheers

Ideally your estimates would just be complexity points. And those estimates would go on on the stories in Jira/Azure Dev Ops / wherever
And honestly the team should meet up and discuss the estimates
I don’t understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases.
How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years.
How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months.
How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years.
How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.
Good ones are pretty rare and good program managers are even rarer.
What they should do, and what most actually do, are different things.
Project managers must be great with humans and communication. If they are not, then they just can’t be effective.
If the timing is critical then the only reasonable solution is to cut scope and features until it fits.
The triangle isn’t a rubbery floppy thing, it is iron!
Geez… Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.
They don’t get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.
Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like “4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK” like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.
Yep you can definitely build lots of skyscrapers, then just demolish them without any financial repercussion.
“The official said crew on the dhow, which did not have a country flag, were planning to transfer the missile parts, including warheads and engines, to another boat off the coast of Somalia.”
Looks like “Finding Out” to me.
The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same. Military firefighters and combat medics probably have the darkest humor. We’ve all collectively decided we want people to be really good at killing people and blowing shit up so other people don’t kill out people and blow our shit up.
Mocking SpecOps who are KIA is something generally off limits for me. I handed over a hundred of our flags to surviving family so I’m humor dysfunctional in that area. However… jokes? Okay that’s kinda funny. Best if served from combat vets I think. I regret making a fuss. Dysfunctional.
I hope you’re respected in similar fashion some day and it hurts.
Yep. It’s a big navy.
Of which? Last I looked at Wiki the US has 11 aircraft carriers in service.
China with two ramped smaller ones. Apparently one was formerly a casino and the other is a clone.
Tonnage is another decent metric. US has 4.6 million tons to Chinas 2.
The capability of the tonnage is a whole other twist. Force multipliers like mid air refueling, AWACs, stealth etc
I mean…the US Navy is roughly 40 times more capable than the Chinese navy just looking at aircraft carriers compared, nevermind the carrier group components or the planes. A US super carrier is so much more capable than the 2 Chinese carriers combined.
Since no one mentioned it: VCR tape eraser.
Basically just an electromagnet that oscillates because it’s running directly from AC current.
With an extension cord you could erase all the hard drives in a computer lab just waving the eraser vaguely where the drives are.
Physical destruction is better though.
I played a little paintball, and the most impressive game was when I had sprinted along the perimeter to get a sniper angle on a path, wait 20 seconds, and have a Marine Recon AD barrel roll from behind a tree 30 feet from me that I never heard and put a single round in my goggles before I knew what was happening. It bounced but I wasn’t about to call that anything but legit AF.
I saw the military haircut and asked him after the round.
I’m great against paper targets…but that’s not the same as combat and I am crystal clear about it.
War crimes are war crimes and those committing them should be held accountable regardless of affiliation, identity etc.
Mhmm so how do you pass your own " I fell for the propaganda test", and would you adjust your thinking with new information?
You haven’t addressed any plain as day facts this far.
If you want everyone reading your posts to be fully convinced you’re hopelessly brainwashed then don’t address any specifics and just tell us to do our own research…
No one, it just makes sense.
You must be one of those “Throw your mother downstairs, the box of tissues” types.
Yoda sounded normal to you I bet.
