@fribbledom @penguwin@chaos.social I always feel sorry for those who grew up never knowing personal computing before DOS/Windows. Atari, Commodore, TRS-80, and Apple (II, Lisa, and Mac) were the computers where my school friends and I learned to program.

I always feel that Microsoft's monopoly set computing back 30 years.

A good metrics program can help you to decide the direction needed for changes. Capers Jones' Applied Software Measurement has data showing what languages and processes are most productive for different sizes of projects and different development targets, but to really tailor your development, you need to collect your own metrics.

Whenever you have a big change in your software environment (platform, personnel, or requirements) it's time to reexamine your past software development practices. What worked for a highly constrained platform isn't always the best fit for a less constrained platform. The processes needed for a small team don't usually fit a much larger team. The practices for an embedded system might no longer work if it moves to a web-based application. #donotfearchange

That thing where you don't have the tribal knowledge needed for a change, but you didn't know you needed the tribal knowledge when you made the change. #maintainingBadCode

I'm in the middle of a "standup" meeting. Can you tell how useful they are at this company?

"But their findings also show eating some unprocessed red meat, such as beef, pork or veal, could be protective, as people who consumed 50g a day were 19% less likely to develop dementia."

Study really seems to show that a balanced diet (and healthy lifestyle) is a good way to protect against dementia.
