  • There needs to be a last panel where its the final version. Like when the car is turned on:

    1. Waterfall: It becomes a clown car and more people than it could handle is inside causing it to explode. Or is left as half finished because they ran out of money.
    2. Agile: Only the wheels go forward, rest of car stays.
    3. AI: The car goes straight up, not forward.
    4. Anger: Developer becomes angry at the car. Kicks it until it becomes a bike and rides off.




  • I once had a company give me a take home assignment on bitbucket. Private repo. Got the work, made the API endpoint that did the thing.

    Followed up with them. No response. Nothing for a week. Then suddenly I get an email that they merged my code and they forgot that I had access to the repo. I could see that they were selectively merging canadates code into their own system. When I asked them with a followup if they had any questions on the code, no response and suddenly I had no access on the git side.

    Yeah they were crowd sourcing an app. I just did a bunch of free work. Never again. Nowadays I just reject jobs that require any coding outside an interview. It’s a two way street, it’s not worth giving people free work.
