      yeah, recently we implemented a heuristic based customer search. it was painfully slow, and you had to click/tab out of a filter box to get the additional parameters into your query, but not before waiting for all the results for the previous search parameters.
      as a tester i reported that, first the speed is an issue, and then that even if it would run instantly, it would feel slow for some users because of the need to leave a filter box and to wait for the unfinished load. I was told, that its fine, because it works, and it will work better on our customers SSDs, then on our HDDs, so we will ship it.
      after weekend the customer made an incident, reporting exactly theese two defects :D

      I was about to comment about the editing. Unlike all the other videos on this channel, this one has cars moving in the background. This means you can clearly identify which cuts were true edits and which ones where just added to give the impression of an over-edited clip. I always assumed that this technique was convenient for the actor because he can screw up as much as he wants but judging by this video he knows his lines very well despite the complexity

      I think processes are really important, but you have to pick which ones really matter and try to automate adherence to those processes. The worst thing you can do is run in the wrong direction with your product/company. The second worst thing is to clog your innovation with unnecessary processes that only serve to slow you down to the point you can barely crawl.
      When I was in a startup I advocated processes. Now at big tech I advocate against it unless completely necessary.

      We are at this point technology is so good at processing bureaucracy that we create unnecessary bureaucracy just to feel better and have no responsibility.
      The companies become ossified and can't change a thing, so they buy startups in the hope they can move faster and not die the slow death, but then they kill the startup with excess bureaucracy before it can change thing internally.
      You have to resist being sold as a startup, and put some bureaucracy/processes so you can start to ossify enough to not be fragile, but not too much you become a rock.

      I worked in a company using a V-model. It was quite well organized, so maybe an outlier. The cycle length was 6 month. It was quite slow, but good documented. They build lab software, so they had very high standards to meet. It was oddly pleasant.
      Now I am working in the IT department of a big non-IT company and it is pure and utter chaos. Nobody has a clue, nobody follows any guidance or has any responsibility. Nothing gets done and there is lots of finger pointing.

      @@harakiri23 Tbh I don't think so because it depends on what level of data analysis one does - if we are talking about truly extracting highly complex things from a huge dataset then that would be called data science, otherwise if it is just writing some SQL queries to pull data and slap it onto a chart for a board meeting then it is just ordinary data analysis. A lot of what is coined "data science" in the industry has gone towards the "make a report of some business figures and a couple charts to present to investors" rather than true epic data science - so I think it just depends on complexity and task at hand... if you're just a glorified data analyst that is one thing - but if you are pushing the boundaries of human connection to data, that is data science.
      Edit: Science is always the act of pushing human knowledge in some field beyond what is known... so if we apply the scientific method to data, we get data science - so that is the distinction.

However, when you have to deal with larger traffic and SLA agreements with customers I promise you it's not so easy. When you have multiple teams and business units that need to audit and analyze data it's not so easy. When you suddenly find yourself needing to do something complex like set up an ETL pipeline with insert (hippa, high trust, PCI) compliance suddenly Heroku is not so easy. The point I'm making is that although it's easier to use in the short term eventually, if your lucky, you're going to out grow it. It's too opinionated and oversimplified.

      Daily face to face stand ups are better than Slack - you need some social interaction to get people working well together. And you missed raising impediments which in a well functioning team is a chance to get some additional thoughts or help from others who may have experience in the area or get it escalated to scrum master and make it their job to go outside of the team to get it sorted.
      You can do that over slack as issues come up too but I've seen this become really distracting with everyone posting every little problem to slack and everyone jumping in to help through the day instead of the person taking an afternoon to figure it out themselves and take it to stand up if they are really blocked.

Also, computing (and especially the web) attracts a sort of accessibility entitlement that doesn't appear to exist in other fields. People seem to find it much easier to accept that they can't all be athletes, pilots or doctors, for example.
