Imagined vs discovered tasks

The way to really figure out what needs to be done is to start doing real work.

  imagined   tasks ==      Jira
  discovered tasks == Dark Jira
IMO, tickets for planned work are an anti-pattern. Tickets are good for reactive work: bug reports, support, etc. Use Kanban board for tracking them.

Planned work should be organically discovered from the plan by the developers (or agents) who will be implementing it, not assigned via Jira tickets by the project manager. Shape Up recommedns using Hill Charts for per-scope (vertical slice) progress updates.


This. You always find out new stuff during the development. Nothing ever goes according to the plan.

I have a favourite illustration of the way projects work, right at the top of this page: https://bureau.ru/about/fff/

(The page itself is in Russian. Basically, it’s about the “flexible scope” principle from, you guessed it, Getting Real: https://basecamp.com/gettingreal/02.4-fix-time-and-budget-fl...)


yes here voice mode != hands-off mode, so you can't DWC (Driving-While-Coding)


Yeah, doesn't really add much, I think if you want dictation your OS very likely has it built in. Certainly wouldn't be worth submitting to HN.


Claude Code's /voice mode isn't very accurate comparing to other speech-to-text (e.g. Google Translate).

Also it takes about 500ms to activate after you press SPACE, so the initial words are missed out. It took me some time to realize it.

Does Handy has a better speech-to-text accuracy? Is there an activation delay?

global elite and everyone else said switch to phonetic spelling?


Actually, phonemic ;)

PHP is too high level for this task - might as well write Rust compiler in a Tiring Machine.


That’s true for any software project - on average only 5% goes into developing of the first version, while 95% goes into continuous development, support, and maintenance.


unsurprising, since they're also into Monoliths

wait until they hear about microservices



just use TSV instead of CSV by default
