  • Nah - you’re complaining that you “were forced into handing your password to someone else” when there were at least six ways you could have avoided that:

    • you gone to the computer,
    • they send the computer to you,
    • you remote in to the computer,
    • you tell them “suck it, you should have blocked iCloud sign-in with MDM” or, as others mentioned,
    • you sign out before handing the computer back or, my favourite,
    • don’t sign in to personal accounts on work devices even if they bug you to.

    Finally, we release devices like this all the time through our ABM account. It takes 5 days maximum. Your IT team led you up the garden path.




  • I hate teams that say Agile says “no doco”.

    The principle is “Working software over comprehensive documentation… That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”

    Agile absolutely needs documentation but it shouldn’t hold up delivering working solutions and shouldn’t be more complicated than necessary.

    We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.
