"An often overlooked point is that WIP limits should not **only** be an upper limit, but an optimum. > It’s one thing that the overwhelming majority of flow practitioners get wrong and that is thinking that a wip limit is an upper limit. A wip limit should represent a system’s capacity which means being under a wip limit is just as bad as being over the limit. — Dan Vacanti via ProKanban.org Slack Channel Let’s assume we have a system-wide WIP limit of 5 items. That means that 5 would be the optimum. With 5 items, the system performs the most efficient and effective. We should not have 6 or more items in progress. But also we should not have less than 5 items, as this would mean we’re “wasting” capacity of this system." (Benjamin Huser-Berta, Limit Work in Progress Without Work in Progress Limits)

"As a company, you can’t rely on good intentions—e.g., “try harder” or “next time, remember to…“—as a way to solve problems. Most people already have good intentions: they are already trying hard and doing their best to remember things, but intent and personal desire just aren’t enough. To really fix problems, you need to put in place mechanisms: that is, you need to create or modify the systems and processes within which people work."

4. Act your talk *out loud* a few times. By saying things out loud you’ll realize quickly which transition doesn’t work, what’s boring or missing, or drags on for too long. Cut anything that’s not working. It’ll only bore the audience, cause them to space out which means they’ll miss the juicy bits

The Economics of Software Teams: Why Most Engineering Organizations Are Flying Blind A breakdown of what software development teams actually cost, what they need to generate to be financially viable, and why most organizations have no visibility into either number.

Du coup, la justification des rémunérations délirantes des ultra riches - ce sont les seuls à pouvoir prendre les bonnes décisions géniales - ça fait pshiiit.

They are wrong, we are!

Après les révélations de BFM, nous apprenons que la police était au courant de tout, et donc que le procureur de la République à Lyon l’était aussi ; dès lors, sa conférence de presse était une mascarade.

Les militants d’extrême droite n’ont été perquisitionnés que mercredi…

La cabale est totale.

Dans la presse, les amis de Quentin Deranque ont multiplié les références à sa « grande bibliothèque » et son goût pour la lecture, mentionnant par exemple Aristote, saint Thomas d’Aquin et Saint Augustin. Mais le jeune homme de 23 ans avait aussi une fine connaissance des auteurs négationnistes. Il recommande plusieurs fois les deux livres « Nuremberg » de Maurice Bardèche, premier négationniste français, où l’universitaire plaide en faveur de l’Allemagne nazie, nie l’existence de la Shoah et diffuse des idées fascistes et antisémites, et pour lequel il a été condamné pour « apologie de crimes de guerre »

Quentin Deranque valorise aussi les écrits Jean-Jacques Stormay, auteur qui plaide pour un ordre politique autoritaire inspiré du fascisme catholique, et recommande sans sourciller Les Décombres, pamphlet antisémite et collaborationniste de Lucien Rebatet, soutien du nazisme.

Le jour où 18 mois de prison sont requis contre le militant néonazi Marc de Cacqueray pour avoir passé à tabac des militants de SOS Racisme, Quentin Deranque commente : « Soutien à lui, il n’a rien fait de mal. » Et quand le député Antoine Léaument (LFI) rappelle à Julien Odoul que son parti, le Rassemblement national (RN) « a été fondé par des Waffen SS », Quentin Deranque assume : « Et c’est très bien.

Si tu cherches un peu de gaieté,
Viens donc faire un tour à Nom de ville

T'as voulu voir Nom Ville et on a vu Nom Ville
T'as voulu voir Nom Ville et on a vu Nom Ville
T'as voulu voir Nom Ville et on a vu Nom Ville
T'as voulu voir Nom Ville et on a vu Nom Ville
J'ai voulu voir Nom Ville, on a revu Nom Ville
J'ai voulu voir Nom Famille et on a vu Nom Famille

Cette histoire est juste hallucinante‼️

Non seulement il s'agit d'une erreur de la part de la Police mais en plus avec des #ViolencesPolicières.

Et pas un mot d'excuse ni de la police, ni de la préfecture, ni du Ministère de l'Intérieur❗

"The causality of neglect is hard to see because it is an absence of a thing — care, attention, remediation, work — rather than a thing that is easily observed. Inaction lacks the visibility of action. Searching for improvement becomes more a question of “What are we not doing?” than “What are we doing wrong?”" (Kevlin Henney, You Will Never Know Enough)

"In Skinner’s work, here’s where things get interesting. If the pigeons received the reward every time, they moderated their behaviour – they pecked when they wanted to eat. But, if the reward was made ***variable, and unpredictable***, they went pretty crazy pecking incessantly. They behaved like addicts. This also feels like what’s happening in business. Your organization releases something that does well. It makes your company lots of money. We’re not sure exactly why, but that doesn’t matter. Now we know how it works. > ***Release something then get an unpredictable reward. So we do just that. And we get addicted to releasing more things faster. Just like Skinner’s pigeons.***" (jpattonassociates.com, Underpants Gnomes, Outcomes, and Intermittent Reinforcement)

Also, I want to try Mastra.

Deterministic Core, Agentic Shell How do you make AI agents deterministic? Put a state machine at the core. A pragmatic architecture pattern for AI agents using Mastra and XState.

I was converging to a state machine after sending my message yesterday. This morning I read that thing that was waiting on my list for a while: blog.davemo.com/posts/2026-0...

I want to try something with xState and have guards for enforcing TDD phase variation.
