Week 54: The daily emergencies | #DSbook #writingprocess #datascience

There are always emergencies of various kinds popping up out of nowhere, either project-related or personal issues. In a true team, there is no distinction between these two. Everything affects everyone else in the team.

Week 53: Team size | #DSbook #writingprocess #datascience

>> youtube.com/shorts/FaMNqgRquWg

Small R&D teams find themselves functioning in a cohesive, highly unstructured environment, with very fuzzy task specifications and seemingly unfeasible expectations, at least in the beginning.

Ciekawy tekst z innej perspektywy niż techniczna - na pewno kojarzycie sytuacje (u nas też się zdarzają), kiedy mimo posiadania "oficjalnych" narzędzi, w niektórych projektach oddolnie przyjęło się korzystać z prostszych zamienników. Jaka jest tego geneza i jak można sobie z tym poradzić?

LeadDev · The problem with shadow developmentYour dev team hates Jira and will bend over backwards to get around using it. Big problem or smart solution?

I've been using ClickUp for a few months now...and like every other productivity tool I've used over the last number of years it has its pros and cons.

It's got a lot of features but sometimes pretty basic features don't "just work" - and that makes me unhappy. 🙁

For example, right now I have some recurring tasks that will not allow an update to their due date manually. If I set a new date it resets back to the original date. Even more concerning is that this isn't clear from the UI.

The UI acts as if the change was successful but a page refresh reveals the change didn't save.

But the real reason I wanted to post wasn't about ClickUp particularly but about chatbots in general. They verified that my issue was an actual bug and created a ticket for it but the way I've been instructed to view the ticket status is by opening the chatbot, telling it I want information on my ticket (pasting in the ticket ID) and after doing all that I get this

5/6: Umm, no. I want to see an actual ticket please. I don't want to have to talk to a chatbot to see it. Chatbots really are great for a lot of things (during the free trial of ClickUp I found the chatbot quite helpful in learning how to do things without searching through docs) but this sort of "there is a direct record", please no. Or let me paste it in and do the lookup immediately - and provide a permalink so I don't need to chat every time!

I'm sticking with ClickUp at the moment, but one of these days when I magically get a large amount of free time, I'm going to write my own solution...I've only been saying that for a few years now. ;-)

I've read the book from John Doerr "Measure what matters" about the usage of OKRs in companies. Really inspired me to try this method at my small team at work.
One of the possible issues might be to get management support and backup on the idea of prioritizing a hand full of goals.
