bondster posted:Haha the audience member of the Ted talk That 1 seated smart car is pretty awesome. I know Sergey Brin has a few of them that he drives around: http://www.commutercars.com/ I happened to be at the HBO premiere in Redwood City and saw the second episode. Definitely only gets better from the first episode. Elon Musk hated this show though: http://recode.net/2014/04/03/at-hbos-silicon-valley-premiere-elon-musk-is-pissed/ I was the only one in the theater who laughed at the ME3 finale joke Shadowhand00 fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Apr 7, 2014 |

Tibeerius posted:I totally missed this joke; roughly when was it? 2nd Episode Spoiler: When the other developers are talking about including Big Head in the company, they mention something about how the it doesn't matter what you do in the Mass Effect 3 finale. I can't remember exactly the joke since its been a few days and I was drunk at the after party. Sorry

Ochowie posted:I was surprised by that too. If anything it would seem to be the other way around now. Larry is the CEO and Sergey barely shows up to the office anymore. Maybe this was the case when the search engine was getting off the ground? That joke got the biggest laugh out of the people at the premiere. I'm guessing its common knowledge around the valley that this is the case.

DrBouvenstein posted:It seemed weird that Danesh, Gilfoyle, and Richards were all working for a few years in a "young, hip" tech company but had supposedly never heard of SCRUM. Only because I work in a Scrum environment, but its actually not an acronym. Its just Scrum (like in Rugby).

zoux posted:Do they seriously refer to tasks as "stories"? If you're really interested, you can PM me. But lets say for something like Diablo: "As a player, I'd like to be able to change my skills at any point." is a user story. The team then comes up with a list of tasks which need to be accomplished in order to fulfill that task. Something like: 1. Implement changes in code for UI. 2. Implement changes in Back End to account for X 3. Wireframe 4. Provide Visual Design You can also breakdown stories if they're too big to accomplish in an iteration (1 or 2 weeks). You can get as granular as you'd like but generally, each "Story" just needs to deliver something of value to a user. "As a player, I'd like to select a skill" "As a player, I'd like to deselect a skill" You can then make tasks specific accomplishing each of these stories. Scrum's a framework to force people to really communicate with their teams. Its not a magical process that will make you suddenly develop a better product. You still need someone with good product vision, good designers, etc. etc. If its implemented properly, it can be a wonderful thing. Generally though, people just half-rear end implement it, decide that it doesn't work, and then spend a lot of time bad-mouthing it.
