@StarkRG @jonm I remember learning the following rules back in 2005 or even earlier:
- Praise specifically and criticise generally
- Double all time estimates made by your developers and take them to the next unit (e.g. 2 days become 4 weeks) before passing them on
- Agree on a clear vocabulary, write it down and stick to it
The last point especially helps with quickly seeing which employees either lack the necessary precision/focus or tend to make things overly complicated
My recent favorite read. Despite what people around me are shifting to my contributions will remain 100% LLM-free.
> […] I didn’t talk of quality per se. I don’t think there’s a point in doing that. I believe that LLMs sometimes spit quality slop, and sometimes they don’t. […] That’s beside the point.
The point is, however you look at it, LLMs are unethical.
This week I redistributed some left over building materials from a few projects, to avoid them going to waste.
Kreator were a bit underwhelming. Lots of props, pyro, confetti guns and intro backing tracks meant the crowd lost energy between songs. Their crowd interaction is always the same (like, scripted) in each gig, feeling unauthentic.
They sadly had persistent mix issues through at least half of the set, including guitars cutting out several times, and an imbalance between drums and guitars.
The new songs were good, but I felt they never managed to get the crowd going.
2/2
Quick post-gig review. Unfortunately missed Nails and Exodus due to transport issues, though caught the last 5 minutes of Exodus and it sounded good.
Carcass were excellent, doing a stonking set with a last-minute substitute drummer (Walt Väyrynen from Opeth) on no rehearsals at all. Minor mix issues quickly fixed and then they had everyone headbanging along the whole way through.
I think they said two sentences through their whole set.
Sadly a short set, only 45 mins.
