A boolean value only needs 1 bit (on or off) for true or false. However the smallest bit of addressable memory is a byte (8 bits) hence 7 are technically wasted.

For low memory devices you could instead store 8 different Boolean values in one single byte by using bit masking instead

I think in many cases it results in separate discussion over slack, probably between managers but it still often ends up in a follow up meeting.

Nope, all in a teams meeting discussing something, topic diverges or becomes too complicated and is slowing the meeting. Manager says “let’s take this offline” or “we’ll discuss offline”. Keeps the meeting focused but I hate the phrase. It’s not offline because it’ll just be another teams meeting!

I guess it depends on the company, so far mine it’s just making more meetings but keeping the current one focused. I’m fine with that, just hate the expression because it only makes sense if the follow up meeting was in person but we’re all remote

I really wish they’d use drill down instead

Especially if the MVP ends up with a lot of scope creep for features that are not MVP

Let’s take that offline perhaps better as let’s discuss that separately/later.

Double clicking should just be something like “to go into more detail” or something. I get why it happens, easy and quick to say, i just find it so irritating.

Leadership at the company I work for started saying “let’s double click that” to mean let’s go into more detail on that topic. Hate it.

Also “let’s take this offline” which just means let’s have a different meeting about it, it’ll still be online because we’re all remote.

Thanks! at least I have a plan now, if I were to suddenly appear hundreds of years ago, I’ll probably just die

Do you know how to make soap? I’d want to but I’d have no idea how. If it already existed the hard part will be how to make enough money to buy it, as a software dev I’m not sure I’d have any sellable skills

The definition of succeeding just becomes not dying.

That makes me feel sick, thanks.

My cats just avoided walking on the mat including leaping out of the litter tray throwing cat litter all over the floor so we had to get rid of the mat.
