I finally completed my self published beginner Android programming book earlier this year. I took a break and now I'm working on updating it to add more Kotlin examples. I wrote the book in markdown and used Pandoc to convert it to print ready PDF.

Tell HN: Searching for SVB on HN gives you a timeline of what happened

budu3 — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 01:40:32 +0000

I just realized that searching HN for "SVB" by date gives you a blow by blow account of what happened to SVB. According to the HN timeline the trouble began 9 days ago. That'll be around March 9th.

The Google Podcasts app works for me. It has a minimalist feel to it.

New comment by budu3 in "Why some software developers hate Agile"

budu3 — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 17:19:00 +0000

SCRUM is toxic. It is toxic because it dis-empowers the developers who are doing the actual work and hands that power over to the "SCRUM master". The SCRUM master is the ultimate bureaucrat -- and a proxy for Management -- in a heavily bureaucratic methodology. The job of the SCRUM master is to guard and protect the SCRUM process. Often to the detriment of the developers and ultimately the project.

Well in their defense, we don't want to pay for newspapers and so you can argue that this is the result of a lack of resources.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood - Theodore Roosevelt

> There might be some good doctors in Cuba but you bet your ass that only Castro and his goons have access to them.

A minor correction, neither the late Fidel Castro nor Raul Castro are currently the leaders of Cuba. Cuba is currently led by Miguel Diaz-Canel.
