Новый старый Scrum Guide 2020

Здравствуйте, я – менеджер продукта в компании «СИБИНТЕК». В прошлом году самому известному и популярному фреймворку для команд, создающих функционально сложные продукты, исполнилось 30 лет. Да, вы правы, речь про Scrum. Несмотря на то, что Scrum про скорость, про разработку короткими итерациями с постоянной обратной связью, сам фреймворк почти не развивается. Мы до сих пор пользуемся гайдом пятилетней давности. И для новых адептов данного подхода может показаться, что Scrum был... Read more

Маяк в пустыне: Kotlin DSL для Android-шейдеров

Когда я впервые всерьёз сел писать AGSL под Android, ощущение было очень странное. С одной стороны - современный графический конвейер, RuntimeShader, RenderEffect, красивые эффекты и весь этот техно-киберпанк. С другой - шейдерный код живёт внутри строковых литералов, uniform-ы приходится объявлять и привязывать вручную, а отладка периодически начинается с философского вопроса: «в какой именно строке я сейчас всё сломал?»В какой-то момент я поймал очень «кин-дза-дзовское» настроение: вроде перед тобой косми Read more
