From the manifesto: The results of work over the hours put in.

How do you adapt that to the scrum process which has a burndown chart based in the time spent on tickets.

[joeconway → adolfoabegg]

Scrum burndowns should not be related to time spent at all. That’s not an actual agile technique, that’s your company not trusting you and not understanding how software works. Story points that are meant to represent unknowns and complexity, not hours, used for estimation and burndowns are one solution to this

At Gitlab we try to reduce the scope of tickets so that they all ship in the same sprint.

We measure efficiency by measuring the MR rate, the number of merge requests in a month devided by the number of engineers. To game the number you have to split work up in smaller Parts which helps cycle time, coordination, predictability, and quality, for example smaller changes are easier to review.

That isn't agile. Tickets should be based on relative effort, not hours, and certainly not more hours being better.

I don't agree. I don't think there's a correlation between intellisense and bad coding standards.

Will they be banned just like Huawei?

[rurban → adolfoabegg]

Looks more like the work of the San Antonio CIA hackers, not Chinese. So most likely not. But the Chinese might try to ban it then. First the Russians will analyze the targets and then you know who did it.

On: Ask HN: How do I go about validating an idea?

[adolfoabegg]

* Remove all the boilerplate text from your landing page. Focus on what your algo does: why is it different from current existing solutions?

* Use metrics to demonstrate capability.

* Hit real investors and get real feedback.
