(so glad this is virtual arm waving, irl I have to remind myself not to move too vigorously; spent the weekend helping put together a mahoosive reclaimed wood shelving unit)

(I’m very glad programming is a desk job now and we don’t even have to punch cards!)

thomas09:11:22

from what my (former) colleagues told, the programmers didn't do the actual punching... there was a pool of typist for that.

3Jane09:11:08

heh, I should have known better*

3Jane09:11:42

are we typists now? and architects, what was previously programmers?

thomas09:11:04

and the punch cards were entered in twice... just to make sure that there weren't any errors.

thomas09:11:48

no, the job of typist disappeared... back in the 60's people didn't have terminals/keyboards in front of them.

morning =)…

Yeah but I mean, design vs execution

3Jane09:11:14

Secondary hypothesis: it’s Monday morning, I’m coffee-less and things don’t make much sense :D

maleghast09:11:56

Morning All :-)

I suspect that things for programmers haven't changed really... expect that feedback loops have gone from 24h to seconds, and that alone makes a massive change.

Rachel Westmacott11:11:14

some people still have longer feedback loops than 24hrs

Rachel Westmacott11:11:32

I once left a company because the company they got bought by sent code to a QA team for 3 days before getting feedback on it.

alexlynham11:11:55

I remember the early days of docker when my feedback loop was about an hour to bootstrap and test the app and backend
