  • Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school ‘adventures’ that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

    1. The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
    2. Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
    3. Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
    4. Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
    5. Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
    6. Helmets made from leather
    7. No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

    Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?










  • Forget the technical BS of this moron, lets focus on the gofundme nonsense.
    So I pay into this gofundme thing and that makes me partial owner of that bridge, just like the others who participated. In what fantasy world do you live if you think that bridge will not be blocked for all others who did not participate? Will the people out of the kindness of their hearts allow others to cross that bridge?
    If you believe that this bridge will not cause people to throw hissyfits and consider it private then I have a bridge to sell you 😂




  • We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.

    I miss those days. That bible of documentation was usually the means to have the others, i.e. the customer or other teams using your software, be able to do their work in that software. And I feel that by delivering software without extensive documentation you are extending your agile way of working to the customer. When does agile stop and actually deliver every component meant to be delivered?


  • This comments speaks to me. From day one you could see the problems with agile and my gods, if you dared to push back you were ‘not cooperating with the team’ and other BS like that.

    I have yet to see an agile/scrum way of working that does not devolve in waterfall within 5 nano seconds. Funniest was the IT team that needed to support about 10 other teams (developers). Good luck in getting agile with that while diving into a tunnel where 10 teams start pulling your resources on the fly. The IT team was on the end (they tried like 5 times to enforce agile on us) absolved from using agile as the complete project would come to a stand still in a day if we followed the agile principle.
