X Benefits of Software Delivery Insights

Enhancing Decision-Making

Software delivery insights offer a comprehensive understanding of the software development lifecycle, providing crucial data that can significantly enhance decision-making processes. These insights enable teams to identify bottlenecks, assess the efficiency of their workflows and understand the impact of changes in their development practices. By leveraging data-driven analytics, organizations can make informed decisions that optimize their software delivery processes, leading to improved product quality and faster time-to-market.

This analytical approach helps in prioritizing resources and efforts effectively. For instance, insights can reveal which parts of the codebase are prone to errors or require more development time, allowing teams to allocate their resources more wisely. This data-driven strategy ensures that the most critical aspects of the project receive the attention they need, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the development process.

Boosting Team Performance and Collaboration

Software delivery insights play a vital role in boosting team performance and collaboration. By providing clear visibility into each stage of the software delivery process, these insights foster a more collaborative and transparent work environment. Teams can easily track progress, identify areas for improvement and work together to resolve issues more efficiently.

Moreover, these insights encourage a culture of continuous improvement. Teams can learn from past projects, understanding what worked well and what didn’t. This ongoing learning process not only improves the skills and knowledge of individual team members but also enhances the collective capability of the team. Over time, this leads to a more skilled, efficient and cohesive team, capable of tackling complex software projects with greater ease and success.

Conclusion

Delivery of software insights is invaluable in today's fast-paced and competitive tech environment. They empower organizations to make smarter decisions, optimize resource allocation and foster a collaborative and continuously improving team culture. By harnessing the power of these insights, companies can enhance their software delivery processes, leading to higher quality products, satisfied customers and a stronger market position.

crazy take: aside from actual lesbian romance stories, obviously, nothing passes the bechdel test better than moe "cute girls doing cute things" anime. its always just a group of girls, few to no named male characters, boys and dating are hardly ever brought up beyond the abstract, if at all. like we're focusing on the girls hanging out rn, we dont need to worry abt that shit. mugi just ate mio's strawberry.

#this doesnt mean i think all ''cute girls doing cute things'' anime is feminist btw #thats not my take. the test itself isnt a metric for feminism #im just saying if you take the rules purely at face value. that type of show kills it #but also no the genre isnt for the male gaze! everyone go watch 'a place further than the universe' and develop some emotions #even k on which i joked abt in the post- its actually a bit complicated bc of the way the anime deviates from the manga #but the short of it is the further it gets away from its source and becomes its own thing the more it becomes abt the girls #s2 being all original was the strongest. its a great story about the fleeting nature of youth and lasting friendships actually #ppl dont give it enough credit. yes its slice of life ofc but its really good #also not to mention bocchi. everyone loved bocchi. in that show they literally have a joke where they dont show the dads face #bc no male characters LOL #the acceptation being that one club owner who is meant to be more feminine? manga readers know more abt that tho

abuse of software metrics

When software projects judge themselves by the number of open issues, or how long issues remain open, there's a tendency to rush issues to closure and close issues that shouldn't be closed.

I'm seeing this phenomenon with the Assimp project. The project's GitHub repository publicizes metrics like "issue resolution" in days and the percentage of all issues that are open.

During the past month or so, I filed a slew of bug reports with Assimp, mostly related to the ".blend" file format. Recently, the project manager closed all those issues, saying that the .blend format was "deprecated", meaning the project no longer supports it.

But the documentation said (and still says) that ".blend" is supported.

Later that same day they started a discussion about deprecating the format. The causality is clear, and it looks to me like an effort to improve those metrics.

How do I feel about this? At first glance, the effort I put into those issues seems wasted, which is irritating and a bit sad. But if my work pushes the project to be honest about its limitations, perhaps that's best for everyone in the long run.

growing up by chicago has spoiled me rotten. i visit any other major metropolitan city and my reaction is always …oh! is that it?

#the only other metropolis that’s ever truly impressed me was tokyo. good god i LOVED tokyo #though ​to clarify I’m talking specifically about metropolises (and what makes a metropolis good) here #there are tons of cities I’ve been to that are incredibly impressive by other metrics #(Istanbul’s unique location; Florence’s historical architecture; Seville’s food; etc.) #but Chicago is just a truly good CITY. perfect size diverse walkable on a waterfront gorgeous architecture nice people. i love it sm #London really impressed me as a teenager but lost the allure as I grew up (a lot of my moms family relocated there so I went often) #woof #anyway I’m in LA for the first time right now and tell me why it’s like 30 different suburbs shoved together #it’s only my second day so I’m not hardcore judging yet!! gonna let an opinion develop. I get the feeling #there’s tons of good culture here but it’s fragmented and you need to go looking for it #also the wealth inequality is horrifying. they weren’t kidding #it’s SO EXPENSIVE EVERYWHERE #some family friends took us out walking to santa monica pier last night and they had to take a break like 20 minutes into the walk #because they fucking drive everywhere!!! #anyways. i feel like i need to give nyc another chance too but i don't know when i'll get to go #anyways again. chicago sweep. best city in da world.

We missed you moth!!!

🥺🖤 I missed being here too and interacting with everyone

#but I developed a very unhealthy association between the metrics and the value of my art and writing #so I probably will lock myself out again after the weekend is over #I know that probably seems dumb #but I am a crazy person #I don’t know how to be normal about things I guess

ok the kalos slander in journeys is getting out of hand

#< me now that its a character i actually like #well ok not true. im happy for what they did w serena bc its what i wanted for her- to be able to stand perfectly on her own #but like. a sweep against diantha and most of it was offscreen??? cmon #i knowww logically shes gotta lose and i went in fully knowing she would bc its gotta come down to leon v ash #it just makes the most sense but like. the battle couldve at least been GOOD yknow #yeah no this screams development hell. its gotta be like its just too bad #thinking eve has a point when she says that it feels like jn is exhausted of itself like i didnt need a two parter here #but like... they didnt even wanna dedicate the episode to it??? #also i dont buy leon being this super powerful unbeatable beast tbh #i could in galar bc thats just one region and the gym systems different and designed to like weed people out over time #and u gotta get sponsored and shit like i can believe he went undefeated for literal years there bc galar is weird #but in the entire world?? to the point where he sweeps other champions with ease?? and everyone around the world drools over him? #i get WHY they did that bc its a world tour and hes the strongest trainer in the world and its gen 8 so he needs emphasis #but i dont buy that hes somehow so unstoppable that another champion can barely touch him #and i EXTRA dont buy that ash is so powerful w his current team that hes gonna be the one to knock him down #like idk. idk what metric im working with here but i feel like the champions should be like neck and neck and hard to defeat #no matter who u are and especially w champions bc theyre on the same level #leon being number 1 isnt bad or bad writing but everyone throwing themselves head over heels for him no matter what region theyre in #and him being able to sweep literally everyone in his path is not good writing tbh its not believable to me #it doesnt feel like hes so strong no one can handle him it just kinda feels like plot armor #echoed voice

only drawback of succession being in season is that i now constantly have stuck in my head the metric song "succexy"

#it's not really thematically related #except that it's about the war in iraq and arrested development is kind of about the war in iraq and arrested development is succession #'succexy' just sounds like a fun joke to make about succession but metric got their first and it's about war. sorry

Question about Ao3 formatting

So, I'm doing this Scrivener thing.

Last year, I'd never been in a "fandom" before, and I didn't own a keyboard. I'd never had dreamed I'd write fic, or write at all. Especially never thought I'd invest in a writing program.

My point: do any of you have some favorite formatting styles on Ao3? Like, is there a particular writer I could look to for inspiration on having lovely formatting?

All tidbits, no matter how simple they seem, are appreciated. Thanks!

#fic and fandom has already changed me so much #i know because i've been deleting my old grouchy demoralized posts #so my own character development and diff ideas are like *hitting* me in the face #anyway thanks for any advice you can give #writing #ao3 #writing formatting #i have deleted a metric ton of free floating fic from tumblr #and aggravated ranty whiny posts #it's like being born again huh

I’m going on record saying that I think when SV drops the Hisuian forms are going to be referred to as Sinnohan forms and prove that the Hisuian forms are in fact regional variants that exist alongside the standard ones, rather than ancestral forms that are extinct in the modern games

Edit bc I’m dumb: Exception to this has to be Voltorb / Electrode bc apricorns but a lot of the regional forms have dex entries referencing adaptations the species made to survive in Hisui specifically

#ofc that's RIGHT THERE in the dex entry for the starters' final evos but people seem to overlook it </3 #hisui decidueye's dex entry: ''this form is proof that evolution is influenced by environment'' #i.e. alolan decidueye exists in the past as a metric to compare hisuian decidueye against #there's similar stuff talking about how like. lilligant developed strong legs to adapt to the mountains #but everyone keeps saying the hisuian forms are ''extinct so how can they be in sv???'' #and i'm sitting here like *dialup noise* #❛ ooc: shut up neg. #i guess i can tag this has hc. or use this to dump a worldbuilding tag for pokemon #❛ worldbuilding: pokemon.

Xbox President Addresses Bethesda Studio Closures, Says It's About Keeping Business Healthy Long-Term

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/xbox-president-addresses-bethesda-studio-closures-says-its-about-keeping-business-healthy-long-term/

Xbox President Addresses Bethesda Studio Closures, Says It's About Keeping Business Healthy Long-Term

Earlier this week, Xbox closed four Bethesda studios, including Redfall developer Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, the team behind last year’s Hi-Fi Rush. While each of the four studios affected, which also included Mighty Doom developer Alpha Dog Games and Bethesda support studio Roundhouse Games, released a statement about the closures, Xbox remained silent. 

However, four days later, Bloomberg’s Dina Bass interviewed Xbox president Sarah Bond and asked her about the Bethesda closures, to which Bond cited a desire to keep the Xbox business healthy in the long term, even through hard transition periods. 

[embedded content]

Here’s what Bond said: 

“It’s always extraordinarily hard when you have to make decisions like that. I’ll go back to what I was saying about the industry, and when we look at those fundamental trends, we feel a deep responsibility to ensure that the games we make, the devices we build, the services that we offer are there through moments, even when the industry isn’t growing and when you’re through a time of transition. And the news we announced earlier this week is an outcome of that and our commitment to make sure that the business is healthy for the long term. 

“With that said, our commitment to having our own studios and working with partners to have games large and small – we’re a platform where you can play [Grand Theft Auto], but you can also play Palworld, or you can play Call of Duty or you can play Pentiment, that doesn’t change. And frankly, our commitment to Bethesda and the role that it plays is a part of Xbox and everything we do. 

“It’s actually been pretty fantastic. I don’t know if you’ve gotten a chance to check it out. The Fallout TV show was on Amazon, and it’s been great to see people fall in love with that universe but also what it’s done for the games themselves, and people going back and exploring everything inside of that. There are some other great things that are coming from our studios later this year. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – I was a big Indy fan growing up – so you should check that out. But really right now, for us and our teams, our focus is on the people impacted and doing everything that we can do to help them through this hard transition.”

Bass then asked Bond specifically about the closure of Tango Gameworks after Hi-Fi Rush, which by Xbox’s own admitted metrics, was a big success. Bond’s answer here was less straightforward – you can read it below in full: 

“One of the things I really love about the games industry is it’s a creative art form, and it means that the situation and what successes for each game and studio is also really unique. There’s no one-size-fits-all to it for us. And so we look at each studio, each game team, and we look at a whole variety of factors when we’re faced with making decisions and trade-offs like that. But it all comes back to our long-term commitment to the games we create, the devices we build, the services, and ensuring we’re setting ourselves up to be able to deliver on those promises.”

While it’s great that Bond addressed these closures at Xbox, it still lacks the clarity you’d expect from one of the biggest companies in the games industry. Neither Microsoft nor Xbox, including Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, has yet to address the layoffs and closures in an official capacity beyond this.

For more, read about how Redfall was reportedly set to receive a big offline play update this month before Xbox shut down Arkane Austin, and then read about how Xbox is reportedly considering bringing Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II to PlayStation 5. After that, check out this story about how more job cuts at Xbox are reportedly on the way, and then read about how the company is debating putting Call of Duty on Xbox Game Pass alongside a price hike. 

What do you think of Bond’s answers? Let us know in the comments below!

Observing the Observer (Fluent Bit monitoring)

In the Fluent Bit book I touch upon the point that we should be observing the observer. After all, if we don’t monitor our observability stack, then we’ll be operating blind and may never know until things go catastrophically wrong, and we’re getting complaints that production business solutions are down. One of the peer review comments was it would be really good to have a visual representation…

damien and linebeck have the minor dynamic of damien being a guy who’s pretty well built and has a healthy bit of fat on him and linebeck having the prestigious title of ‘boniest man on the great sea’

#salty talks #damibeck #damien fletcher #linebeck #sure! i need to stop worrying abt putting my oc x canon and other post ph atuff in main tags #anyways. its a fun dynamic in the sense that linebeck generally isnt tooooo interested in sex and doesnt typically get a lot out of it #at least not really touchy feely ‘normal’ sex while damien has more of a sex drive and gets more enjoyment out of it. he likes the bones #but he also has the occasional thought of man it feels like im fucking a redead. anyways. this is important for post ph #cuz like. hes bony partically bc hes iust like thst but primarily bc hes underweight n has food problems. so thats smth they work on w him #so damien’s perspective as smth who enjoys being physical abt linebeck and pays attention to the shape and feeling of his body #is an intimate metric of. through damien holding him by the end of post ph its known that hes at a little bit of a healthier weight #linebeck likes being skinny and generally will stay in that area through how he lives and his preferences genetics and stuff #its just like. hey man. you are skin and bones rn. goal is. healthy weight. and damien holding him is the periodic measurement. yeah? #this is partially why i typically hc him as bein gaunt to the point of emaciated i can have this development n its tied to my hc backstory #the other reason is bc bony guys make me feel like a rabid dog #when my mom and i rewatched arcane a few months back she asked why viktor is my favorite character #and i had to take a minute and come up with an answer that wasnt i feel feral when i can see a man’s ribcage #but anyways under the overarching plot and minor arcs post ph is very much recovery as its personal plot #its a bit inspired by berserk in that way (not explaining itd take a whole but iykyk) so its. linebecks condition is important #his is the most important bc he needs the most work done and hes the most in need of the support group the crew makes up #yeah. anyways linebeck is bony as fuck and damien kinda has a thing for it tho linebecks tailbone is a fucking DAGGER so thats smth for him #slightly similar is body hair comparison- damien doesnt have much the T let him down hes got a lil but not much in post ph #while linebeck is generally pretty hairy and damien also likes that. he sleeps with him like mmmm chest hair and then Bones. im losing it

In the recent report linked above, the executive branch of the U.S. government has taken a stand against the C and C++ programming languages and in favor of formal methods and quality metrics.

I'm not sure what consequences the report is intended to have. From where I sit, it looks like a lot of hot air, though I suppose it might conceivably influence procurement policies or college curricula. I don't expect it to inspire effective legislation or industry reform.

Nowhere does the report mention how U.S. law enforcement and espionage activities benefit from exploiting insecure computer software and suppressing the use of cryptography.

Gaza is already the most intense starvation catastrophe of recent decades. The death toll from hunger and disease may soon surpass the body count from bombs and bullets. The Famine Review Committee reported this week that Gaza is facing “imminent famine”. The Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) system, set up 20 years ago, provides the most authoritative assessments of humanitarian crises. Its figures for Gaza are the worst ever by any metric. It estimates that 677,000 people, or 32% of all Gazans, are in “catastrophic” conditions today and a further 41% are in “emergency” conditions. It expects fully half of Gazans, more than 1 million people, to be in “catastrophe” or “famine” within weeks. A parallel report from the Famine Early Warning System Network of the US Agency for International Development sounds the same alarm. It is the clearest warning that the network has given at any time in its 40-year history. A rule of thumb is that “catastrophe” or “famine” conditions mean a daily death rate from from hunger or disease of two people out of 10,000. About half are children under five years old. The arithmetic is simple. For a population of 1 million, that is 200 deaths per day, 6,000 per month.
