  • My job uses Safe. It’s the bastardized scrum you speak of.

    Are points the complexity, effort or time? Yes. No. No. Maybe. Yes. Who knows?

    They also sum our teams capacity as if we are interchangeable cogs doing the 1 same simple task.

    We have endless meetings. Daily 1hrs. Follow up to the follow up. Meeting to plan meetings. (I wish I was joking on this next on) Planning meetings to plan for the upcoming planning meetings.

    It’s chaos.

    It’s hell.

    I get 5% as much actual work done as I used to. Not even joking. It’s bad.






  • I played Stars! too! I simply adored that game. Who knows how many thousands of hours I spent as a kid on it. It somehow engaged whatever flavor of ADHD/Tism I have and I could get lost for days on it. It’s funny, but even back then the graphics were absurdly simple, but we didn’t care, the gameplay and complexity was so enthralling. Most of the game was just basic geometric shapes and numbers on a map, which seems hilarious now, but to me it proves that gameplay > graphics. Graphics can help, but the gameplay MUST be there first and foremost.
