  • I think musicals are fine, but the music has to be genuinely very very good. You can make a mediocre movie and still have it be somewhat enjoyable. I can’t listen to mediocre music and feel the same though.

    I also just think they come across better on a stage than in a movie. It feels so weird to me sometimes for a movie to have this incredibly close in depth feeling to it, just for it to zoom out to a cast of people dancing and singing and shit.





  • I’m actually certified in a version of SCRUM. I’ve been on a total of one project which did it in what I would say is the correct way. Where the primary purpose was to gauge work and plan around the developers capabilities and needs, instead of having deadlines imposed arbitrarily from the top. It worked great and we delivered a useful tool in a relatively quick period with pretty inexperienced devs.

    Every other time though it’s a poor excuse for managers to waste time with useless metrics reporting and whip the devs into coding faster.




  • House plants, rugs, lamps and wall art go a long way towards making stuff look more adult-like and “complete”.

    As far as amenities go, a space heater is pretty meh and they cause a fair amount of house fires. Don’t recommend it. Someone said heating blanket which I will second if you’re trying to save cash.

    Rice cookers are great, but honestly rice isn’t that hard in a pot so I would prioritize other stuff first.

    Bidets are life changing, and they help save on toilet paper which is nice.

    The French press is a really cheap purchase for making coffee and quite versatile.
