I think this is a bit disingenuous. There’s no customer interaction in these panels.

So waterfall would be:

Customer says they want to go to Mars.

You spend years building a rocket capable of going to Mars, draining all the company budget in the process.

Customer then clarifies they actually meant they wanted to go to Mars, Pennsylvania, USA - not the planet!

Freedom is obviously when I can be an asshole without repercussion.

Bermuda Triangle was always a manufactured mystery. It is true that some ships disappeared in the area, but that’s true for most oceans in the world.

The point about the Bechdel test is that it’s such an incredibly low bar, and yet most fiction fail at it.

Had a coworker who was a bit like this. They were tasked to do one simple thing. Required a few lines of code change at most.

They end up refactoring the entire damn thing and introduced new bugs in the process.

That XKCD is almost 18 years old and is still as relevant.

Being a bit nostalgic, but Gmail was such a leap forward when it was released. In a world where everybody took the shittiness of hotmail for granted, using Gmail was like peeking into the future. In many ways it was.

Now Gmail is that shitty hotmail we took for granted.

Blockchain is only potentially useful if there’s no single entity that can be trusted. If banks can’t even trust themselves to manage their own internal ledgers, they have much bigger problems to deal with.

Bitcoin is estimated to consume 172 TWh, which is way more than Google and Microsoft combined.

We also need a McDonald’s emoji, Pepsi emoji, Windows emoji and Mastercard emoji. These are also brands that are heavily ingrained in our culture. Probably even more so than Bitcoin.

Or we accept that brands like Bitcoin shouldn’t use emoji as a marketing tool.

Yes, I’ve seen this resume before.

I think it’s ironic. The guy is quite influential in his field, so he doesn’t really need a resume.

It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.

I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.

That wasn’t real communism. Everybody’s equal under real communism.

Hetero people would get executed too!

One time I struggled debugging a program on a clean Windows machine. For some reason it seemed like it couldn’t find a JSON file that’s obviously in the system. I could even open the file on my own and view its contents.

Turns out after much frustration that the file was actually a json.txt file. I didn’t notice because the extension was hidden, so I only saw .json and thought it was fine.

He’s also promising a fully self drivable car by the end of 2017

It is hard. PS3 has incredibly specialized hardware. Even game developers had trouble making games for it at the time because it’s so arcane.

Using AI in the marketing is a sign you don’t have much else to show for. People see through this. Your product should be strong even without having to mention AI.

1 dead whistleblower is a tragedy. 10 dead whistleblowers are a statistic.

Disney will soon announce the new movie Soup in an attempt to take over the top search results of “Disney Soup”.

That’s my reminder to rewatch Kung Fu Hustle
