Thank you @jonhoo for the opportunity!
PhuQuocDevs learning together from MIT! I'd say first watch-together was a success!
@nobsagile yes, I read that page a while ago, I liked the "decision latency". I know companies who have decision latency on the order of quarters or even years, but still call themselves "agile". Definitely a fresh angle to look at it.
@nobsagile Yes, absolutely, but it's quite hard to find enough people who really understand the essence of agile to the point they can get the benefits by themselves. The rituals make it also a bit more efficient I think, such as we don't have to be looking for a time when everyone is available every time we want to discuss some improvement, we can just do it on the next retro, everyone knows when that will be.
@nobsagile I think I could run without planning meetings, only with standups. Maybe a mature team could even go without standups. On the other hand, demo meetings bring the most value, because they bring the feedback from client, and we clearly show our value by demonstrating the increment. And retrospectives keep us together and continually improving.
Wait - is this a trick question? If a ritual is not valuable, it shouldn't even be there.

Want to learn from MIT but can't convince yourself or finding it hard to digest?

Join our "Watch-together with PhuQuocDevs" series! We are kicking-off this new type of sessions with the "Missing Semester" course - master those missing skills that standard courses often overlook.

- no pressure way to check if you'd want to join our students club
- better watching together than alone
- MIT quality for free
- ask questions from our job team members

PhuQuocDevs

In January, Anish, Jose, and I returned to MIT CSAIL to teach Missing Semester, a class on topics we've found missing from most CS programs—tools and techniques that everyone should know, like Bash, Git, CI/CD, and AI tools. Today, just like in previous years, we’re releasing the course for free online!

Do you like puzzles?
How about a **Mini-CTF**?
One has secretly appeared on our homepage last week.

Is a #developer #portfolio even relevant anymore?

As part of our #internships at PhuQuocDevs, every intern builds their own portfolio website, learns to go from idea to production, tackles the decisions and deployment processes... and ends up with a nice solo project as a reference for their #job hunt.

But maybe I'm just old-school. What do you think? Does it help them stand out? What should a modern #junior developer portfolio look like?
