  • I probably shouldn’t even be using youtube in the first place, but 5 min ago I found out youtube is now forcing videos with an AI translated voice. While at the same time not having an option to change the audio track or disable the feature.

    This feels like a good example of pushing features most people don’t want while not providing a normal way to disable it.

    Thank God I use revanced and can spoof the client as IOS TV, this gives you the option do disable that crap.

    Firefox (even mobile) has this addon “YT Anti Translate”

    It’s pretty bad you have to go this far just to watch a video with the actual voice it was released with…


  • We replaces our entire app with an AI agent, so it can never get hacked!

    Oh wait, people just ask it to roll play they are the bank owner and need funds from other accounts?

    Who could have possibly predicted something like this? Sam said this AGI was flawless


  • I can see that working well especially in a project where you can push to production fairly often, our project only has 2 moments every year where new features can be pushed to production. The exception is major bugs and security patches.

    Anyways our main branch is always ahead of production. New features are branched of main, and can only be merged when the entire test suite passes, this is unit tests, integration tests and automated functional tests take about 5 hours (this project has been live since 2010).

    We make release branches so we can always use them for bugfixes etc.

    I think it kind of depends on a project what works best. For us a main branch that is only updated twice a year wouldn’t be the best way, I think.


  • For test data I like to use different movie or comic book names for different epics.

    So when we start a new epic with multiple user stories I decide this will be all star wars, or matrix or donald duck characters, etc etc. The nice thing about it is when certain test data gives unexpected errors in other parts of application its easy to track where the test data is from.





  • What my company used to do, person A asks for higher hour rate. Manager can’t get approval from his manager.

    Person A quits, but is told you can always apply for the job again. Request for a new hire is made, people show up, also person A. In the end person A is hired for a better hour rate.

    I do know a scrum coach that tried this only to be not hired because person B showed up and they liked him more.





  • In the Netherlands basically everyone uses whatsapp. In the beginning people would say send me a whatsapp or something like that. But pretty quickly people started to shorten it to just app. So people will say stuff like I just got an app (instead of message), it drives me nuts. Like my family chat group is called “app group”.
