Hey Farva, what’s the name of that design philosophy you like that’s got all that goofy shit and no respect for established norms?
Oh, you mean “move fast and break things”?
I live by “Move things and breakfast.”
A litre of cola.
It’s fine to do that if you’re pre-customer and you’re just dabbling with a new idea. Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure. The big problem is when people try to apply the same development philosophy between established software and pre-alpha software.
I agree. It heavily depends on the “things” you’re breaking
If it’s prod, that’s bad
If it’s your “fuck-around” branch, go for it
Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure
Is that really true though? If you have a product people actually want, they’ll use it regardless of bugs
That’s sadly the opinion of a lot of tech companies.
That won’t be true once your competition catches up to you and your bug-riddled product is pissing off customers, pushing them towards your competitors.
How much do you tolerate before switching sides? Think about Windows vs Linux. People don’t switch.
Move fast, break things.
Move slow, break things.
Don’t move at all, break things.
Maybe I’m just bad at CSS
Move things, breakfast.
And now I’m hungry.
Sorry bruce, these boys get a little crazy when they get that -CoPilot/Claude/Cursor- in them…
Fun fact: some of those syrup bottles were filled with iced tea. Some. Not all.
Controversial opinion: I think software moving fast isn’t a good thing.
The more versions come out and the more focus there is on new features, the more half baked/abandoned the existing features become and there will be more vulnerabilities.
I probably shouldn’t even be using youtube in the first place, but 5 min ago I found out youtube is now forcing videos with an AI translated voice. While at the same time not having an option to change the audio track or disable the feature.
This feels like a good example of pushing features most people don’t want while not providing a normal way to disable it.
Thank God I use revanced and can spoof the client as IOS TV, this gives you the option do disable that crap.
Firefox (even mobile) has this addon “YT Anti Translate”
It’s pretty bad you have to go this far just to watch a video with the actual voice it was released with…
Thanks for the heads up! I had been disliking every video with AI voice, unaware they might have been uploaded in another language.
move things, breakfast
Ah, sorry. Stupid race conditions.
It’s the corporate equivalent of “live, laugh, love”
Move fast, break society, and then buy entire governments while still being a dick.
Going slow doesn’t mean you don’t break things either. If you don’t want to break things, you need test plans, logging and alerts
Move intentionally and fix things.
I’ll break all the shit if the board of investors are the ones paying for it.
I always respond with “Do you want to know if something broke? Then slow down and write tests”
If we break things, we can’t move at all.
We need functioning things in order to move.
These assholes are bringing this mentality to the infrastructure industry now. As little as it worked in software development I promise you it works even less in large scale construction. That’s why infrastructure engineers are required to be licensed, we tried this bs 200 years ago and shit literally went off the rails
I call bullshit. If you’re competent enough, the process of breaking things might actually let you learn stuff. And if you have a controlled environment, breaking things shouldn’t be an issue.
You wrote like someone who doesn’t treat in prod. How nice that must be.
