No, technical debt isn't tangible, but it definitely impacts budgets. Kind of like dark matter isn't tangible, but it impacts galaxy evolution.

Working with prototypes that have been passed as suitable for production (despite failing certification, someones bonus at risk?), insane ammounts of :java: and fixing a broken microwave oven? :omg:

Constraint-Based Scheduling is the discipline that studies how to solve scheduling problems by using Constraint Programming (CP).

Nice correction! My team is pretty healthy, but a few of them take care of elderly parents at home. It can be the third and fourth jumps that feel the full impact.

Sounds like a "static" schedule; which you imply by ignoring winners and losers; so any feasible schedule you generate, first time out, will do. (And "schedules" doesn't come into it). "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

In 1978, "Adventure" was the first game I ran on my (then) newly built Heathkit H8 computer -- built while I was an undergrad at a regional campus of Purdue. It's been so long that I can't remember where I got the executable that ran it. I'm not sure if I bought it or if it was freeware from some "dial-up" BBS downloaded at 300 baud on my acoustic coupler modem. Ever since I first set up my home Wi-Fi ages ago, its SSID has been "XYZZY." I'm quite sure none of my neighbors get the reference. I feel so old. Of course, that's because... I am old. ;)

Well, the corporation has drunk the kool-aid and gone full in MS. Which is fine, but I should have just emailed it. Instead, I dragged the file to Teams and off it went. So the boss made his edits, and was waiting on me to complete the doc. I had no idea I SHARED the file. I have three computers and a dozen VMs. I actually do not know where the file is.... The last time I sent a file through messenger, it was just a copy, not a live doc. I guess it makes sense sort of... but it would have been nice to know Charlie Gilley “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759 Has never been more appropriate.

Those are films, Kent. That would never happen in real life. /s Most of the people forget that what today is written as a science fiction story can in the future be written as "yesterday news". And there are more than enough examples to reassure this affirmation. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution...

right, so google, ms search etc all put their crap in there... just signaling, does nothing useful. Now, a 2000 lb lgb works wonders Charlie Gilley “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759 Has never been more appropriate.
