Spot.on. my business has adopted an agile mindset across the entire org, but it's still waterfall, because IT have so much governance in place and outsourcing contracts that prevent teams from actually working on things in a fluid and agile way. Every member of a squad is on multiple projects, plus our systems are so broad we cannot have a resource from each source system dedicated to a squad.

Secondly, no documentation? We moved from an on-prem Oracle DB to GCP so that we would have one central place for data and across all business units.. there was no documentation and we had to spend the next 4 years reverse engineering the data marts because all the IP left the business.. it took 4 years because of the previous point.

And because it's big corporate business, you have to make it work otherwise you lose your big bonus etc etc

And don't dare question the method

Wouldn't that be Au? 🤣

But seriously, what is Ao ? I search but get AOL results only.

Five past six

I saw the movie last night with my kids and they didn't enjoy. I didn't particularly like it either.

I'm 43, and I don't have friends. I have a girlfriend, and I have a "best friend" who's not really in my life, but I can call at anytime and have a chat. I've known her for coming on nearly 30years. But day in day out friends, I don't have them. I find it really hard to make friends. I overthink a lot and think a lot of people actually don't care what I'm talking about. I find it difficult to believe people are genuine. I try so hard to look past that, but seemingly, most friendships end up being like work relationships.

I thought there was one that clicking the first link on an article, and then repeat on the next article, by the seventh you on the "philosophy" article

Edit: word

Edit 2: I think it was if you keep clicking the first link, eventually you'll get to philosophy

I figure it's just different responsibilities.. if I didnt have kids I'd be doing more of what I want to do (like fireworks and motorcycling).I had to put that on pause for 12 years or so, and just now I'm starting to do more for me. It was a joint decision that I would be a present dad rather than career focussed. And to be honest it's been great being able to switch off work and enjoy my personal time. Family circumstances have changed and ironically I've had to be even more present but with COVID changing the work force expectations,at least in my business, to be more flexible, that it all works.

I still feel 16 at heart and think I can get out of a chair really easily, but I can't..my joints are stiffening and that really sucks.

bought in 2020 .. value of property has increased 50%, land value has doubled - which helps if i need to refinance as the amount owing is less than 80% of the value so i get interest rate discounts. I border a new-ish estate of mcmansions but i have double the block size. If i had some significant cash behind me i'd knockdown, divide the block and build 2 homes. but i dont, but i can dream. i'm happy.. not about interest rates but it's for the future/kids

A company's anniversary.. perfect night for some crackers!
