This projects ability to introduce conventions cause there is a framework underlines its potential value.

If folks that are experimenting across any of these tools start to choose to begin from this framework first; then there’s really opportunities for this to grow. Either way I’d suggest that’s a good focus for them to measure success.

One design value of Rails is “Convention over configuration”, or what I sometimes explain as smart defaults over having to decide everything.

I see this is an area this project can help with; thought through folder and naming conventions; wrestling with issues at the seem between common tools. Making doing things the right way way (like database migrations) becomes the easiest way to do it; most of the time.

A bundle of smart conventions and ways of working that cuts down yak shaving and sometimes solves arguments as the project can be; well we thought on this a lot more than most of you and we’ve gone with this approach to stick these together and if you only half care now you can get this done for free for your apps.

To bring it across to Andon and Lean, Deming literally addressed this as one of his 14 points of quality management that Lean manufacturing follows:

Point 11. Eliminate numerical quotas for the workforce and numerical goals for management.

What’s important here is not that there are buttons in a factory but rather the culture that goes along with their usage.

Point 8. Drive out fear, seems relevant here also.

Sorry you experienced this.

For anything not covered, where a tenant does damage thats what the bond is for.

Renter insurance should be optional.

Actually I’m surprised that landlord insurance is not already occurring, imagine a building with 100 apartments, I’m sure the bank would ask the landlord to have a single cover over 100’s of little crappy policies.

If renter insurance is required by regulations, this is likley another good target for policy change.

Americans really do get screwed in so many ways.

Given that physical nobs are rare on these devices; which cooktops have the best user experience?

For me I'd be rating on:

- Ease of use of the touch controls - The 'buzzy' noise the devices makes - Other usability enhancements

Interested in any experiences, thoughts, reviews and reflections on this.

The argument that “AI runs so quickly” reminds me of the American manufacturing technique of making a machine lunch out widgets whether they were needed or of not to maximise throughput. As any lean practitioner knows this leads to multiple additional wastes including excess work in progress and wasted movement.

How do you see this principal lines up with current AI arguments?

Like many other sectors quality is gradually turning to slops as people “let the AI do it”.

Linux has continues to improve and in my opinion is ready to be “the free default” OS on PC’s and standard laptops.

Maybe instead of hardware they should just stick to the knitting and deal with their quality issues around both the OS and the Office suite right now.

Anyone used this format, I can’t remember Harding of it before I came across this today. Beyond being not as widely spread any special drawbacks or benefits worth mentioning?
