@thomasfuchs I'm waiting for the new gen to learn, that cassettes lose information as they're been played...

@tosijere Jaa... Dave Sim on ilmeisesti ollut aika creepy. Nyt en tiedä sitten poistaako postaukseni, vai antaa olla tämän huomion kera.

@baldur @craiggrannell Just read the wikipedia...

@baldur @craiggrannell Oh noes... What did Dave Sim do?

@tosijere Nämä olleet kanssa suosikkeja

@tosijere Tuumasta toimeen.

@tosijere Luupäät on kanssa mainio sarja.

En tiennytkään, et aikanaan mieleen jäänyt peli perustuu tuohon Usagi sarjakuvaan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Warrior%3A_The_Battles_of_Usagi_Yojimbo

@fesshole I think one should try pouring milk only, sticking the tea bag in and then putting it to the microwave

@lisyarus Straight to source - old norse... ancient greek... cuneiform!

@thomasfuchs oh, where backpackers feel at home! yeah, yeah!

@kejne @mitchellh I'm curious, do you use pair programming routinely and efficiently?

I've done it occasionally and it's helpful. I'd put it in the same category with sparring i.e. rubberducking with a colleague - it helps when you're stuck and depleted the obvious first options and/or in need of a change.

Usually it's some specific item or ticket and there's an oppotunity to use two heads for it. One on the computer and one as the codriver. After a swift half hour it usually diffuses to "I'll take it from here, thanks"

I've also tried mob programming in a student project which was interesting. However I haven't had the people or the energy to drive further experiments to dig more into these. I wonder if there's still some corners unturned for me.

@mikko Ja tämän takiahan niitä anotaan aivan liikaa ja perusteetta... eiku...

@grimalkina Well now, I just found this thread in which Evans is going through your paper and some definitions: https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/115974397642744776

@grimalkina That was my understanding, too. However, I didn't find sources on after a quick search.

So for example, instead of sharing learnings one could withhold information in the hopes they'll get a leg up knowing it. When this becomes the norm in a team one could consider that a factor leading to contest cultures. Right?

@grimalkina Couldn't "contest culture" be considered as a factor with weight? For example, there could be some features of contest cultures verging on being toxic. I tried to search something on that but found only MCC that was seemingly binary in nature: either there is or isn't.
