@heydon I'd like to add an emphasis that the car in the agile example looks like a convertible car, to show that the client, who wanted a car at the beginning, liked the feeling of having the wind around them when the product was still a motorcycle.

@orange_lux @heydon i don't read it as a convertible so much as just unfinished or broken.

@rothko @heydon yeah, the image is kinda odd. @nini supposes that image was created by a LLM.

@orange_lux @heydon @nini i don't think so, otherwise the whole thing would have no point or coherent message. waterfall works, agile *mostly* works but not quite, AI is fucked.

@rothko @heydon @nini the principle of agile is that by creating small working implements, the objective can change during the process. The convertible car can be an example of that.

@orange_lux @heydon @nini ahhh. i'm not a techie, i just know a lot of them who love to hate on agile ๐Ÿ˜†

@rothko I've seen Agile being misused A LOT. And I can understand the devs that hate it because of that (often the bosses like to change everything all the time, at the last minute, and the developers feel like their work is not valued, and they have to constantly adapt to moving requirements).

But I also saw it being used well and in this case it's great.

Attached: 1 image Because fuck AI and those using it, here's my version of this meme which is about how we create things, with a car as an example. It took me 20min, I added some personnality and even added my special intererests into the mix. This is what the internet should be.

Ford: "We run most of that on our own GPUs. We have Nvidia GPUs. We have a few thousand. Five, six years ago, we moved everything to the cloud, except high-performance compute. GPU compute in the cloud has been crazy expensive and also just difficult to get. I donโ€™t blame them for charging that much. Sometimes it just wasnโ€™t available. Itโ€™s like Taylor Swift tickets. Weโ€™ve been fortunate having thousands of our own GPUs."
