  • I wouldn’t use it.

    Seems to me like free plan is what browsers natively support anyway. (Scam site blacklist. I highly suspect they use the same. They can’t compete with the one Google hosts and all major browsers integrate.)

    And instead of paying 15 usd per month, Windows defender is a well funded, well established, well trusted solution.

    There’s no practical gain in blockage before download. Windows defender scans upon and after download, before execution.













  • I can’t get what it describes through all the Jedi stuff and jokes.

    One mentor and one apprentice? And everything else remains unspecified and open?

    For FOSS, as it is described, it makes me think it’s a big investment with unclear risk (will they even stay as a contributor?). Which of course can be contextualized - but then what is left here?



  • I sometimes do things (cleanup, refacs) off-ticket / not part of the ticket. It can be a light alternative when other stuff is complicated and demotivating. Depending on your environment and team/contract setup, simply doing it could be more difficult though.

    If it serves your satisfaction and productivity, and is good for the product, then it’s not wasted. Not everything has to be - or even can be - preplanned.




  • I don’t have experience with that in particular. I’ll share my more general, tangential thoughts.

    MVP is minimal. Extending the scope like that makes me very skeptical (towards scoping and the processes).

    Everything you are concerned with would be important topics for retrospectives, or even meetings with management. But of course those don’t exist or are open in all environments. In my team I could openly raise such concerns.

    If you’re always rushing to a deadline, or feel like that, think of what you can do and influence to improve that. Retrospectives? Team disuscussions? Partly tuning out of management given focus and doing what you deem important and right? Look for a different team or employer?
