that's a good point, however maybe the difference is that kilo is not creating a situation for themselves where they either have to reprice or they have to throttle.
I believe it's pretty clear when you use these credits that it's temporary (and that it's a marketing strategy), vs claude/cursor where they have to fit their costs into the subscription price and make things opaque to you
self driving cars are only good for city built around cars.
I was in Marseille - France - last week and a driverless car would not drive more than 100 yards there before being stuck
I think the engineering management field is going to drastically change in the next 5 years (probably 2 but industry will be slower to changes in some areas). We are already seeing signs at companies like Twitter and meta.
I also work at a faang in a senior engineering role.
I agree with what the other commenter is saying. I’ve been in several teams with several managers and xfn partners and you have a lot of different cultures. From the toxic wasteland to the ultra focused get shit done right fast environment engineers love.
To your point about why more people complain than not, it’s the human condition. Haters hate is stronger than non haters happiness and are more than willing to share their salt
they do hold up for a while. but it's all ritualistic BS that is not needed. and to be clear, the teams WERE shipping. And were successful. But also quickly abandonned these methodologies in favor of some core values we implemented as a team. I don't think it's very graceful of you to assume my job was just a failure.
What I'm saying is that I was cargo culting too, because I personally believed in these methodologies.
But I realized after seeing many situations, that success is not linked to the usage of these methodologies
I don't understand why we're still talking about SCRUM.
People saying they're using SCRUM (by this I mean "literally saying 'SCRUM'") are a dying breed and if they're not then they're cargo culting and I'm not sure why this is more of a big news than management cargo culting waterfall or kanban.
I used to be one of these process experts selling methodologies to whoever was ready to pay, from SCRUM to lean startup.
After doing this full time for 2 years the only conclusion is that none of these processes hold long enough. Why?
1/ every product / team / output is different. some teams should be ticket driven, other exploratory driven, and each of these methodologies apply to one situation only
2/ high turnover in the industry. meaning that new people come and organically change the new flavor of the day, the dynamic of the teams and the throughput of the team
3/ all of the best teams I've worked in the industry (from seed stage to FAANG through late stage startups, and even F50 companies), just do WHATEVER that works for them and don't comply with the flavor of the day (except for the looks of it). They all use a shared core set of values (deserves it's own blog post), and you can find this core set of values in most agile methodologies, buried behind ritualistic behaviors
anyway. I could go on.
Just let it go, and if you're working in one of these last companies applying SCRUM unironically, you're probably not in a high performing team. Time to move
sometimes sellers over or under estimate their home. Over asking price doesn't indicate how a market is doing. It indicates other things: are sellers under estimating their home to start bidding wars? how delusional some sellers are on the price of their home? etc. These are interesting things to know, but as a buyer, I'm more interested in putting the right offer at the right time, and there's no better indicator than $/sqft for a specific location. Of course it varies (how many bedrooms? how many bathrooms? other cool amenities?) but this could be a subfilter of this product.
