… after eating beans, right? 🫘

Nice. I remember when it was 80%, then it fell to half, 40%, and apparently now is closer to a third than half. Excellent decentralizing!:-)

I hope I am not adding to the problem here as well. It seems that obviously Bluesky is neither fully centralized nor fully decentralized. Is there a statement about just how much of either it is?

Although that might be complicated - like someone could say that Lemmy is fairly centralized, bc if you block Lemmy.World then you lose half the users and perhaps half the communities (and PieFed even more so, with PieFed.social representing an even higher fraction of users and communities on it).

So there is a distinction between Bluesky the service as it currently is implemented and Bluesky the protocol, the former of which is fairly centralized but the latter is more expandable?

Tbf, even when a Q so much as sneezes it could destabilize subspace so… better to just ignore it all and have fun, I suppose?! 😜

I keep trying to escape, but I do need a paycheck so… [rolls up sleeves] back into the fray I go, once more! :-|

What a superbowl post! :-)

Gasp, say it isn’t so!?!?

Yes, this is greatly to be feared:-). But at least you will have a job, other than “factory worker” like everyone else seems to be geared into becoming (either that or soilent green / food - I wish I were joking, though possibly the person in charge who put forth that idea was joking at least? I mean… unless we are into it? No? Okay we can wait on that one…).

You will just have to manage all of the products that the company can force upon you, while they do the “real” work - of golfing, ofc! 😉

Also I now realize that my above messages were slightly incorrect - they were for the “Project Manager” role, which is distinct from your role as “Product Owner”, and then “Product Manager” is a whole other thing… I guess, but I have no idea what the latter is supposed to do, really.

Tbf that seems like the proper response to me.:-)

Normal human ways of thinking go like: however you do it, so long as the job gets done it’s fine! ☺️

PM thinking: even if nothing ever gets done, so long as I collect a salary we continue to have 3 hours of meetings most days every week, it’s all good! 🤔🤯

Also, afaik, the conflict between the PO and PM roles is somehow literally the point? You get blamed if the tasks don’t get done, while the PM ensures that endless reports get generated - I doubt the vast most of which are ever read, and I know that I for one can never find one of those later, in part bc there are so many of them and they encompass everything else into them as well (Jira tickets, Slack messages, hundreds of emails per day mostly saying “this Jira ticket or that Confluence page has been edited”, the former of which for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off!).

So… not only I but we all feel your pain! Otoh, that seems one of the first job roles that will soon be replaced by AI?

I understand. I moved to Kbin.Social, StarTrek.Website, Discuss.Online, and now PieFed.Social. 😁

This title confuses me bc I thought taneggs was on lemmy.ca not lemm.ee.

The circular justification of a PM’s job, see how much value they add!?

He’ll have to change his sign now to “I am Dave”:-)

Mentally speaking, I am not so much here. Let that sink in… :-P

Woah there buddy, you can’t just jump straight into the (non-)solution like that! You skipped the planning refinement! And the planning pre-refinement! And the pre-planning pre-refinement! And we’ll still discuss all of this in the post-planning refinement!

(Yes, every one of these are real, distinct meetings, lasting at minimum one hour but sometimes two or more. EVERY WEEK. Kill me now please? 🥺)

Two words: electoral college.

Riker still would :-P
