You think you’re safe because you’re white? He’s talked about leftist, queer folks, journalists, activists. They will grab anyone they want. They will steal from everyone they can get away with. You’ll have neighbors informing on neighbors to snap up their property on the cheap. Y’all are […]

All anyone will have to say is that they saw you with a banned book or they suspect you of being antifa. Fascists and their collaborators don’t need an ideological reason. They are driven by greed and lust for power just like regular folks.

Them: “why didn’t you warn us?” Everyone: “we did” Them: “why didn’t you warn us louder?” Everyone: “WE DID” Them: “Well you should’ve warned us in a way that got through to us. This is definitely on you”

It would be disturbing enough if Kimmel's show had been pulled (at the FCC's behest, no less) for speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. But the monologue wasn't even about Kirk. It was about the hypocrisy and opportunism of those using Kirk's murder to advance a right-wing narrative. Comedy can be a […]

Unrelated, the Team Topology agile coaches are still hilariously defensive over on LinkedIn. When you get that in your feelings in defense of a software development methodology, you need to touch all the grass. Also a small amount of introspection is probably in order.

The Norwegian election is over, so I guess it’s time to read the book nobody seems to like.

The Voting Village at DEF CON (August 8-10, 2025 in Las Vegas) solicits talk proposals on all aspects of election security. Our speaker track is the premier venue bringing together researchers, election officials, and the broader security community. Come share your work! […]

@ruari I saw this and thought of you 🤣 https://youtu.be/q5hJP_6xUcU

Stay safe everyone 💜

So, let me get this straight. A California senator started to ask questions the DHS Secretary didn't want to answer and was *forceably removed* from the press conference? A press conference about DHS activity in the state he represents, about his constituents being disappeared […]

Last year I wondered how one could strengthen the NOK to make imports cheaper. And it turns out that the US running straight into fascism while tanking their economy was the solution all along 😬 https://e24.no/boers-og-finans/i/4Bw036/dollaren-under-10-kroner

@Patricia It has all the situations that would create issues for most 3d printing setups - very slight slopes, overhangs, round undersides, vertical circular shapes, relatively narrow base to adhere to printbed. So if all of that prints cleanly, your printer […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

YouTube Rabbit Hole Patricia has a question for the 3D printing crowd: Is the little boat 3D-printing’s Hello World? And why that model? https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/114655282425237657

Jesus, that’s dark, Patricia.

“Hyper focus is great,” she said, hours down a YouTube rabbit hole on using CNC machines to etch circuit boards. Narrator: this was after the fall down into injection molds. Which ended in using CNC machines to mill casting molds in graphite. Narrator again: this was after the accidental […]

Watching Hasan Pikers livestream on Twitch and some of the chants at the LA protests are very familiar to Latin Americans: «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido» (The people, united, will never be defeated) Also an American twist: «Chinga la migra» (basically fuck ICE)

Trump is going to Camp David with military leadership. This will end in him using the military against the population. Today or the next couple of days. Starting in California. You can’t unring this bell. This is the last moment the US military has to refuse.

Changed my profile pic after getting tired of seeing the old picture on the scam account. Picture from barricade by a closed tunnel in downtown Oslo. So all of you who remembers who people are based on the profile pic: sorry, I’m the same tbh

Reported as Spam, DSA Law in the EU, GDPR, Trademark, Copyright and DMCA. And said I will retain council if they don’t do anything. Then I’ll drag them to small claims court here in Norway, then I’ll happily drag them to court.

My old account (which I deleted) on Twitter has been taken over by a crypto scam. Same with the TurtleSec account.

“Why GUIs are built at least 2.5 times Or Why I Think Lean Software Development is Wrong” https://patricia.no/2025/05/30/why_lean_software_dev_is_wrong.html

I have written a blogpost, just need some folks I quote in it to proof read it first. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/114580043643778705

One of my favorite things on LinkedIn is having people who don’t know how to make software tell me how it’s done.

1/ A poor management student put a quarter in me in my DMs so I might as well put it in public: Why Lean Software Dev is wrong. I think a big misunderstanding has been to think of software development as manufacturing. That also goes to my gripe with how Lean was translated to software […]

1/ Rebecca Wirfs-Brock (@rebeccawb) shared (on LinkedIn link in next post) this insightful article on models in general, but organizational models in tech in particular. And I think it explains a lot better that me something that is very crucial to understand my perspective and I think I can […]

10/ Toyota Production System (/Lean) is extremely understandable to programmers BECAUSE IT IS A PROGRAM. It’s a program being executed by a combination of humans and machines in an actual physical factory. But as a program it’s very basic. It’s not very complex or interesting in the field of […]

9/ People are clearly not getting my point… I’m clearly struggling to convey it properly. Clearly. Yes! It’s recognizable! It’s a very common architecture! It’s everywhere! But it’s In Our Programs! We use it all the time! Unix pipes is an example (though we usually don’t write that […]

@james Andon also exists in other things like transaction on-rolling for databases. Or just: exceptions. We have a lot of experience with these things.

@james Andon cord is one of the things that is right there in a CI/CD pipeline. One of the steps in the pipeline fails. Its stops the whole deploy. There are parts of it that are specifically about management of people which are good, like trusting the people who are doing the work or the «go […]

Oh shit I just looked at the LinkedIn profile of one of the people pissed at me on LinkedIn and it was this except it was 19 years ago 🙈 https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/114535978349547477

One thing that is concerning is how a lot of this is supposed to be taken on faith. People, we’re making computers go beep, not joining a cult. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/114559206317614382

No Agile Coach will speak to me again

This whole Agile Coach debacle has helped me realize something that hadn’t fully landed with me before: agile started as a movement driven by builders to «build better», but it is largely dominated now with people who don’t know how to build and look at agile as a management process style. These […]

Ok, people, Patricia isn’t allowed on LinkedIn anymore, she’s answering the agile coaches like this now: «Most of this book is just describing common practice, so I’m sorry they don’t get to take credit for that. What is Original Thought is to force a specific architecture through controlling or […]

It’s really funny how the Agile Coaches are trying to «own» me with Lean, and I’ve been dissing Lean software dev for years and years 🤣

Every time I want to start a new static website with just html and css I end up at: why can’t I include html in html? I don’t want js. I just don’t want to repeat myself constantly.

Oh dear, I dissed how Lean was applied to software development… I might need to yell at more books. But before the yelling I would read The Toyota Way which I found very interesting.

Me: This is apparently causing quite a stir in the Agile Coach Community, I should probably just quickly turn it into a blog post. Google Docs: So that’s 65 pages Me: 😳😬 let me lightly edit with a focus on newlines! Google docs: 45 pages Me: Google docs: Me: ok, listen. 😭

Oh no. I just realized something. I’ve been saying this book is 90% Other People’s Thoughts AND I’ve been talking shit about a lot more than 10%… Maybe that’s why the Agile Coaches are mad…

One of you nerds broke GitHub. Please fix.

There is something insidious in the «Inverse Conway Maneuver», it feels like it builds on an underlying premise that «What if the only way I can get people to do what I want is by force? In that case force should be warranted». Which to me is shocking, because what if what you want is bad? If […]

I feel like I should apologize for my posting. I will probably do it again, though, this is how I manage to force my brain to read something it Really Doesn’t Want To.

44/ Anyway, that is the whole ideological basis of this entire book and all its associated reorg consultancy operation: People talk too fucking much, it's fucking with my architecture drawing.

43/ "Sometimes, two or more teams may feel the need to communicate on software purely because the code for their parts of the system is in the same version-control repository [...]. In these cases, we need [...] to split up the software into smaller chunks that can live in separate repositories […]
