trolling; my response was
to ignore it

to defend yourself banana fiend
bounce: .oO( is
this automutilation or just autotrolling? )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "how
to defend yourself against
the banana fiend" ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The "drill" in
the book is fun.
undata: and I
think I misintepreted people when hearing
that

to my core when someone says "can't be done, lets give up"

tasks and chipping away,
that's how, and by brutally criticizing contributions

taking bets on
the name of
the chick
that informed mr fox as

bounce: rarely drink
these days, but plenty water before bed means no headache, just lingering alcohol

BingoBoingo: What, you just carry your hangovers until

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he has a point
there,
this "need coffee
to wake up"
thing is nonsense. i know
this experimentally.
mircea_popescu: the us "debate", an engine wasting
time and paper while going from unpolarized
to polarized.

thought

mircea_popescu: undata: if only
there were some way
to organize
the efforts of a large number of people around projects <<<
there is. you're watching it. just because leadership is not in your face doesn't necessarily mean leadership is absent and it's your

the middle

ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell PeterL first, second,
third, umpteenth will get done. arbitrary items from bottom of list by
time not communicated
to dev
team?
BingoBoingo: undata: Well, key part of getting
to why it wants
to be read one way is evaluating... What platform it lives on.
undata: how else are you supposed
to coordinate?
undata: BingoBoingo: articles like
this are hard;
they're
trying
to integrate
two sides of a debate, where likely neither party is being fair
BingoBoingo: See, my reading of
the story is
that
the Silicon Valley management style is even more broken
than
typical 'Murican MBA bullshit.
undata: "What
they found instead was a confounding array of rules, structures, and systems imposed by Omidyar and other First Look managers on matters both
trivial—which computer program

PeterL: so if you never get
the first
thing on
the list done,
then what happens?

that you want
these
things. we will work on
them in
the agreed upon and prioritized order. you authorize unlimited budget in hopes
that we can get it all done."
undata: "look, your cat is likely
to die during
this life-saving procedure. sign here." ?
ben_vulpes: maybe

time i actually laugh at a scope/timeline combination in a meeting and
the potential client still falls all over
themselves
to sign our no deliverable, best effort contract my internal warning flags should go up
PeterL: why would
they do
that?
ben_vulpes: client signed a no-deliverable, best effort contract with us and
then made promises
to
their client executives.

that die
too?
