The people it bothers aren't in a position to fix it. By the time they are, they've forgotten.

thomas10:10:11

yes, very true @dominicm (for quite a few things)

thomas10:10:38

or, the people who can change it have no interest in changing it as it serves them well.

glenjamin11:10:57

a lot depends on turnover/growth

glenjamin11:10:21

IME when companies a growing then team-level managers see benefits in improving onboarding

otfrom12:10:32

agile_geek onboarding isn't that hard

thomas12:10:49

@otfrom depends on the company/team. sometimes it takes a long time before you find out all the accounts etc. you need.

agile_geek12:10:55

otfrom: not my experience

thomas12:10:37

sometimes it is not written down on what to do… and the people who have been there a long time just have all these things.. but no idea how they got them in the first place

glenjamin12:10:39

just because it’s not hard doesn’t mean large companies aren’t terrible at it

agile_geek12:10:48

glenjamin: interestingly this is a company undergoing rapid growth but I think their processes are lagging behind atm

glenjamin13:10:50

interesting, my initial reaction is that of the 4 properties listed at the start, only > the sum of the values should be <= the number of pegs in the secret code is remotely likely to be accidentally violated

otfrom13:10:36

I liked that it started from a pretty basic understanding of the problem and then fleshed it out.

agile_geek14:10:33

otfrom: I'll take a look tonight

glenjamin14:10:00

also interesting, as far as I can tell coll-of doesn’t enforce ordering

agile_geek14:10:31

I'd be interested in it from two perspectives: 1. How easily it can be used to understand Clokure.spec given my rudimentary understanding from only reading the pages on spec on http://clojure.org

agile_geek14:10:48

2. What does a Spec driven workflow look like?

agile_geek14:10:15

Should have spare time tonight while sitting in Hotel room to take a look and report back

malcolmsparks14:10:23

the juxt office working conditions have just got a lot worse, I have nearly 400 unopened bottles of beer behind me in the office and must stay strong...

agile_geek14:10:24

malcolmsparks: chug, chug, chug...

agile_geek14:10:49

I guess we should get some bottles of CIDER in for ClojureX for during Bugs talk.

agile_geek15:10:36

malcolmsparks: BTW lots of ppl talking to me recently saying how much they enjoyed XT16

agile_geek17:10:00

@benedek just hoping everyone is as kind about ClojureX this year :)

benedek17:10:37

don’t see why not 🙂. but xt16 was an exceptional experience of sorts i guess… I still have the xt beer in my fridge 😉
