mllaneza posted:Done right it's not "barely working" but "working just enough". A big part of (healthy) Agile is the concept of the Minimum Viable Product. At the start you pick out the most essential User Stories and get that into production. Say you've been tasked with developing an in-house employee database. The MVP would have all the fields you'll want in the database, the most essential reports a button click away, but if anyone wants a report that won't get used often or you can live without, they get to write some SQL. Once you have the MVP going, you work on the project backlog and implement new features in each sprint. If you did a thorough job of creating User Stories, you'll have fields in the database that won't get used for months or even years after the MVP launches, but they're part of the database from day one, just waiting to be used. Of course, what's the realistic chance that you got the schema for the fields you are not actually using right, and there are no bugs in what's in them/oversights in test coverage of them?

Anno posted:The lender can demand to be paid back in part or force the lendee to put up additional collateral due to the drop in value of the collateral already placed. If the lendee doesn't then the lender may force a sale of the placed collateral to repay their loan. Aren't CEOs generally restricted from just selling stock w/o declaring it well in advance? How does this interact?

Absurd Alhazred posted:My experience with JIRA is that you have tasks/tickets/bugs whatever and it's kind of like a forums post where you can add assets discussing it and link to other problems/features and I don't know, I would much rather do that than emails or Slack for everything. Especially if I'm wondering in six months what the hell I was doing. ... That sounds like basically every bug tracker I've ever used? (If I've used JIRA it was enough of a one off that it didn't stick out)

notwithoutmyanus posted:My problem with the chatgpt wave of hype is it looks like the exact same people who got into Crypto all over again. The same sort of braindead logic and euphoria from it being a new discovery to them while categorically ignoring any downsides or even general analysis of what they're getting out of it (and what they're doing to the dataset). In short, people lack a personal quality filter, critical thinking, or fail to understand that a tool is a tool and there can be very good and very bad implications, simultaneously - from this.

Aramis posted:Yes and no. A long term loan at a lower interest rate than the Fed rate might as well be almost worthless until the due date since no one in their right mind would want to buy them unless unless they get them at a huge discount. Aha, thanks, I was missing the connection to interest rates. So if I understood your clarification it went something like this: 1) Bank invests in long-term stuff that has low interest rate return but is low risk. The expectation is that since it's low risk it would be easy to sell to someone at nominal price if they need cash to meet consumer demands. 2) Fed raises rates 3) Now it's hard to sell the debt since potential buyers can get better returns elsewhere (US bonds?) ... It feels like something the FDIC involvement could theoretically fix then, in that holding on to stuff for long-term is in principle OK for US government (but I don't know if that's something that's actually permitted absent an explicit congressional bailout). Also I am right to say that doing #1 while interest rates were super-low was a dubious decision? Though I feel like normally you want banks doing low risk/low return stuff, so what am I missing here?

There Bias Two posted:https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/california/story/2023-03-12/yellen-says-no-federal-bailout-for-silicon-valley-bank What is inevitable is FDIC working hard to liquidate the assets so depositors get as much money back as possible, including those over 250K, but how much they manage and how long it takes is more complicated (the insured stuff they promised will be accessible by Monday). Maybe they will recover 100%. Maybe a lot less.... BougieBitch posted:... and it has barely any people using it individually, given the proportion of deposits that are over the $250k line. That may actually not be true: https://mobile.twitter.com/JosephPolitano/status/1634904512787025920 ...but then those people are guaranteed to be fine because FDIC exists.

This bit may matter a lot (though I am very much beyond the edges of where I truly understand these things: https://twitter.com/StevenKelly49/status/1635046064284930048 ... which sounds like Fed can take the overly illiquid assets like SVB had and help get something more liquid back (at some interest?) which presumably also makes SVB assets less sucky.
