BTC - a controversial opinion

I hope this is not a controversial opinion.

In the hindsight of the latest #BTC crash. It seems like BTC is more like an agile team in a waterfall organization. In theory, there are some benefits to adopting it. In practice, the organization will still use time, instead of story points, and pretend it is Agile.

Does this approach ever work? And the answer is absolutely, NO.

People see BTC as a way to get more dollars. The value of BTC is determined by other currencies which the population uses to buy services and goods.

I was checking now the transfer fee which seems to be manageable, only because the BTC price is so low.
But once it goes up, “To the moon” they say, this will again kill the entire idea of easy and cheap to transfer solution.

Overall, I am curious about how this experiment will continue.
What do you think, will BTC go even further down or not?
Also, have you ever seen a working Agile team in a waterfall organization?

Where is the performance and load testing

I am reading the book “That will never work” by the founder of Netflix. From a technical point of view, something that really intrigues me is their launch process. The engineering team proposed an increase in server bandwidth to accommodate a higher request volume; however, the business unit expressed uncertainty regarding the projected demand. This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach. Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

This is the final post of 2023. I plan to take a break now. I wish you happy celebrations of 2024 and may next year bring us more joy and prosperity and focus on the most important things.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
