Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Максим, я инженер команды Нагрузочного тестирования в Ideco.

Scrum — не серебряная пуля. Почему «натянутый» Scrum на несколько команд ломает продукт — и что работает вместо него

Есть фраза, от которой у меня до сих пор дёргается глаз: «Да там ничего сложного — просто раскатим Scrum на все команды». Обычно её уверенно произносит человек, который пару недель назад сходил на двухдневный курс, получил красивый сертификат — и теперь искренне считает, что понял, как устроена разработка.Пятнадцать лет в профессии, путь от инженера до директора разработки, до восьми команд над одним продуктом одновременно — и за это время я...

Старая архитектура, новые процессоры: зачем AMD продолжает выпускать Zen 2

Кажется, что в процессорном мире все идет строго по плану: вышла Zen 5, готовится следующее поколение, а сокет AM5 постепенно становится основной платформой AMD. На этом фоне немного странно видеть в продаже процессоры с архитектурой 2019 года. И речь не о складских остатках, а о вполне новых моделях.Вот наглядный пример — в марте 2026 года вышел Ryzen 7 4700LE.

Автостратегии Директа как задача ML на малых данных: почему 10 000 ₽ в неделю кампанию не обучат

От зефира до фаллоса: как Ридли Скотт спас «Чужого»

Доброго дня, дорогие читатели. Знаете ли вы, что ксеноморф из «Чужого» мог выглядеть как… зефирный человечек с голубыми глазами? Именно такого монстра предлагали студии Fox, пока на сцену не вышел Ридли Скотт с ультиматумом. Эта заметка — о том, как швейцарский сюрреалист Ханс Рудольф Гигер, капризное отношение студии и одно «фаллическое» решение на 65-й странице «Некрономикона» навсегда изменили историю научной кинофантастики.
