It means the flexibility and open communication channels that are the basis for Agile.

Do anyone has a VM that is not using where they can the Trump Bot software from?

I can provide the source and you can compile it.

I am currently running it off my Work PC, but i have to restart my PC and shut down my PC from time to time.

I've worked in government for the last 9 years and they've all been "agile" shops. I have no idea how it works at an actual software company, but in the gov it just means you deploy changes more often than quarterly and have "scrums" every day.

All the projects at GM that I work on are done in two week sprints. Friday at the end of the two weeks we present features developed followed immediately by feedback and backlog pruning by the product owner for the next sprint.

However, the amount of business people and product owners that assume agile means they can dump stories during sprint however they want is atrocious. I went full on Nazi about it and it hasn't been an issue since. Went like 4 sprints where I'd finish most of my stories only to get a "small change" injected on Wednesday of the final week that required dramatic, system wide changes to put into effect.

So I told the dev director that if they make any more, "small change" injections in the final week I was going to not do shit because these changes weren't in the backlog. Our shit PM was also a 23 year old idiot so that was a big part of it too I guess.

Agile as it should be: You get whatever you want that we also agree to develop, every X period. Any changes to those requirements means development stops immediately. Otherwise get fucked.

Can probably run it off my off the books report desktop engine at work. As it isn't my work PC, just a second PC I have absolute control over at work.

It even got removed from the company registry since we're all on laptops now haha.

message me your email ill send you everything.

sent stuff, It includes the github source code

that can work as well. Is it free? Either way TJT is going to host it.

Running now. Modified to be a background process. But since its just changing a setting... I'll get around to putting that on github later.

Added a task scheduler task to it. Since that particular PC is integral to operations like I said, if it turns off even when I'm not around someone else will turn it on. That being said. The task simply boots it up as a background process whenever the PC is turned on.

So, I don't foresee any disruptions for the foreseeable future.

i had it as a task scheduler as well. but for some reason it wasn't working, maybe i did the task incorrectly.
But thanks, we appreciate it. Trump tweets are comedy, and sad, and cringe-worthy, all at the same time
