📚 Started reading Matthew Perry's memoirs and find them strangely gripping.
🎮 Just finished donkey Kong country. What a great game!
I am old - today I saw discussions around „how to develop JavaScript without a build system“ and it took me a longtime to realize what the point is
IT'S SO FLUFFY!
2-week-sprints come from a time where feedback loops where in the area of months, or even years. In a world where a project needs 6 months of specification before starting to involve developers, this was revolutionary and new.
