Done.

By , Professional Scrum Trainer, Simon Reindl Scrum.org The purpose of Scrum is to create a potentially releasable Done product Increment, in order to realize business value. Many teams struggle in improving their Definition of Done. The technique described here allows for greater transparency on where the Definition of Done is, and what are the next steps. The intent is to provide a structure for the teams to reflect, and then build a plan on what to introduce to improve the quality of their product Increment. This could be run during a Sprint Retrospective, before starting a team, or at any time during a Sprint. Draw three nested triangles on a whiteboard or flip chart, as show in the image below. Label the centre rectangle “Now”, the middle rectangle “Next”, and the outer rectangle “Future”. Use this to guide the team. I like using colors to emphasize the green future! Invite the Scrum Team to build a path to a more rigorous definition of Done, that would mean that the product Increment can be released with no further work. Generation The team brainstorms everything they would want to be part of the DoD, assuming they can do anything. This should include anything at all, without any constraints or boundaries. Individually team members write each item on a separate post-it and place all of the them on the wall beside the rectangle. Now The Team collectively moves the items they believe they are meeting into the space labelled “Now.” As a team they need to agree that the items in there are what the team are currently doing, or capable of doing in the next Sprint. Everything in this list should reflect current working practices. Typical examples include, checked in code, all unit tests passing, peer review. It is critical to highlight that the team will be held accountable to this definition, in the next Sprint. Next Do the same for the space labelled “Next”. This will consist of items that the team could add to their definition of Done in the short term. These may require a little research, practice or change in behavior. This isn’t about planning when to do them, more an indication of intent. Typical examples include: pair programming, Test Driven Development, automated UI testing, automated deployment to an environment. There is a reason that the team hasn’t been able to put these in their current definition, as they require some work and effort or purchases to be able to achieve. Future Do the same for the space labelled “Future”. This will be the items that require significant investment of time, energy and materials to be able to accomplish. This may require purchase of equipment or tools, negotiation to use tools within a tightly controlled environment, or significant changes to team practices. These aspects are the more challenging to achieve. The team updates their definition of “Done” to include the “Now” items. The items may need to be broken down for more granularity or re-worded for more clarity. I would encourage you to complete this now, so that you have a clear definition of Done agreed. The remaining items can then be ordered in to a rough backlog. These are then captured as actions so that the entire team has transparency around what they are going to include next. The rate at which you pull these into your definition of Done will be dependent on the what the Scrum team can accommodate. It is critical that everyone appreciates that this will improve the outcomes of the whole organization. Done is central to transparency, and having a Done increment that can be released is the key indicator of an effective Scrum Team. To get to this place, requires effort and focus. The whole team and their stakeholders need to support a ruthless focus on quality, to achieve this value. A real example of how an organization embraced this, and reaped the rewards is the fashion retailer ASOS. Read about their story here: . I was fortunate enough to be there for part of their journey, and the effort to achieve the high levels of flow were significant, however the efforts repaid the organization in being able to support exponential growth. https://www.slideshare.net/WinOpsConf/ian-margetts-asos-journey-to-continuous-deployment Originally published at www.advancedproductdelivery.com on March 1, 2019.

What Capitalists Got Wrong About the 'Future of Education,' And What They Should Have Done Instead

Τι έκαναν λάθος οι καπιταλιστές σχετικά με το «μέλλον της εκπαίδευσης» και τι έπρεπε να κάνουν αντ 'αυτού

Lo que los capitalistas se equivocaron sobre el «futuro de la educación» y lo que deberían haber hecho en su lugar

Što su kapitalisti pogriješili u vezi s 'budućnošću obrazovanja' i što su trebali učiniti umjesto toga

Ki sa kapitalis yo te fè mal sou 'lavni edikasyon an,' ak sa yo ta dwe fè pito

資本家が「教育の未来」について何を間違えたのか、そして代わりに何をすべきだったのか

«Білім берудің болашағы» туралы капиталистер не қателесті және оның орнына не істеу керек еді

Ką kapitalistai suklydo dėl „švietimo ateities“ ir ką jie turėjo padaryti vietoj to

Капиталистууд "боловсролын ирээдүй"-ийн талаар юу буруу хийсэн бэ, үүний оронд юу хийх ёстой байсан бэ?

Even if they weren’t designed to offer profits, cryptocurrencies could be a great tool just for that. Not only are there professional traders around, but also entire platforms and methods that indeed have been built for it or that have been imported from traditional finances to apply here as well. Arbitrage is one of those methods. In traditional investments, this is the practice of taking advantage of price differences for the same asset in different markets. For example, if a company stock is cheaper on one exchange and more expensive on another, an arbitrage trader would buy the stock at the lower price and immediately sell it at the higher price to make a profit. This process helps keep prices consistent across markets and is considered a low-risk trading strategy because it involves buying and selling almost simultaneously. We can sum up this concept into a tidbit: buy low, sell high —as quickly as you can. Of course, it also applies to cryptocurrencies. Traders (or anyone, really) buy a certain cryptocurrency or token at a lower price on one exchange (centralized or decentralized) and then sell it at a higher price on another, profiting from the price discrepancy. How does arbitrage work in crypto? Cryptocurrency prices can vary between exchanges due to factors like differences in liquidity, trading volume, and regional demand. For example, if one exchange has fewer buyers or sellers for a particular coin, the price might be slightly lower or higher than on another exchange with more active trading. Additionally, market inefficiencies and delays in price updates can also lead to temporary price differences. To take advantage of these price differences, a trader can monitor multiple exchanges using tools or platforms that aggregate real-time prices. These tools, namely crypto price aggregators, trading bots, and arbitrage-specific platforms, allow the trader to quickly spot where a cryptocurrency is selling for less on one exchange and more on another. By acting fast, the trader can buy the coin at a lower price and sell it at a higher price, profiting from the difference. However, it’s worth mentioning that manual arbitrage is rare: traders usually use bots (faster than humans) to trade on their behalf. Arbitrage opportunities, especially on active markets, close very fast, often within milliseconds, and humans are unable to catch them. To make a quick scenario around it, let’s say the native coin of the Obyte platform, GBYTE is trading at $6 on Exchange A and $8 on Exchange B. An arbitrage trader would buy GBYTE on Exchange A for $6 and then sell it on Exchange B for $8. In this scenario, if the trader bought 10 GBYTE, they’d spend $60 and sell them for $80, making a $20 profit before considering any transaction fees. Rinse, repeat, and add more investment, and profits will likely be greater. Challenges and risks Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. While arbitrage in crypto can be profitable, it comes with some not-so-smooth things to consider. One of the main challenges is transaction fees. When moving coins between exchanges, traders often have to pay fees for both the transaction and the trade itself. If these fees are high, they can eat into or even eliminate the profit from the price difference. Besides, network congestion can lead to delays in transferring funds, and by the time the cryptocurrency reaches the other exchange, the price difference may have already closed, leaving little to no profit. That’s another risk, indeed: price volatility. Cryptocurrency prices can change rapidly, sometimes within seconds. If the market shifts suddenly while a trader is in the process of transferring or trading their coins, they could end up selling at a lower price than expected, potentially resulting in a loss. Additionally, there’s the risk of exchange-related issues, such as withdrawal limits, technical problems, or even the possibility of the exchange freezing funds (if it’s centralized), all of which can complicate the arbitrage process. To reduce this risk on active markets, arbitrageurs (or rather their bots) do both trades first, then transfer the funds between exchanges. Therefore, they don’t need to transfer after each trade, and they can transfer the amount aggregated from several trades at once. Arbitrage on DEXes In decentralized exchanges (DEXes), arbitrage can have positive effects on the market by contributing to its efficiency. When traders engage in arbitrage, they help close the price gaps between DEXes, effectively making the prices of cryptocurrencies more uniform across exchanges. This process benefits the market by keeping prices fairer for all participants. Besides, arbitrage on decentralized exchanges (DEXes) offers key advantages over centralized exchanges (CEXes), particularly in terms of transparency and user control. On a DEX, traders retain custody of their assets, eliminating the need to trust a centralized entity, which can be a risk in CEXes. DEXes also operate on open networks, ensuring that all trades and prices are publicly visible, allowing for greater transparency and reduced chances of market manipulation by the platform. There’s no central authority on DEXes that can halt withdrawals or restrict access, offering more freedom and security for arbitrageurs. The more decentralized they are, the more autonomy their users can get. For instance, Obyte, where there are no middlemen between transaction sending and approval, offers truly decentralized platforms. Our main DEX, Oswap.io, provides access to 32 pools (fund reserves), where users can serve as liquidity providers and earn rewards or simply exchange between different coins. Arbitrage traders can use it too, taking into account a 90% arbitrageur tax on the profits, designed to earn more money for liquidity providers (LPs) without killing the arbitrage incentive. Considering all the above, while arbitrage can be a low-risk strategy in theory, these factors make it important for traders to act quickly and carefully calculate potential profits after accounting for all costs, exchange terms, and risks. It’s important to do your own research, as always in crypto!

Public web data is a valuable business commodity. You collect data on the internet that can give you an edge in a competitive market. Theoretically, you can collect anything from publicly available tweets, product reviews, photos, and competitor prices. Data collection is a significant challenge for small businesses that can't afford to hire a team. Oxylabs, a premium web intelligence collection platform, has leveled the playing field with its newly launched AI assistant. Businesses of all types need data to survive (and thrive) as competition for consumer time, attention, and dollars intensifies. For example, real estate agents need an extensive database of properties available for rent or sale. Many companies collect industry data to gain insight specific to that sector. For instance, a consulting firm that sells insights to oil companies needs oil prices' import and export details. A business may need retail product pricing to offer uses of comparison data. The bottom line is that information collection about potential clients or competitors is the lifeblood of an organization. The problem is that web data acquisition is a complex process that requires a lot of time and money. "In summer, together with Censuswide, we conducted a comprehensive survey of developers and web scraping practitioners in the UK and US. The data show that 74% of businesses faced an increasing demand for public web data over the last year. Unfortunately, building the necessary infrastructure and maintaining data parsers remains a heavy challenge for many companies – a proper parsing process alone can take up to 40 development hours per week for the tech teams," says Julius Černiauskas, CEO at Oxylabs. With that challenge in mind, Oxylabs set out to develop a solution to remove the roadblocks that make it difficult for businesses to scrape the web for data. His company created OxyCopilot, AI-driven software that helps companies collect the data they need easily. OxyCopilot is designed to help users save time and money on complex web data acquisition tasks. The tool is built on a combination of AI and proprietary Oxylabs technology. The platform enables web scraping professionals and those with little experience in web data collection to generate instant parsing instructions and requests for the Web Scraper API. Additionally, they can do this using nothing more than a URL and natural language prompts. According to Černiauskas, the newly released AI assistant helps level the playing field. Previously, the barrier to entry for smaller companies was formidable. Typically, they had to hire a team of web scraping professionals. Unfortunately, it's hard to find those experts in today's market. With the OxCopilot, businesses can now overcome that hurdle. Organizations can save development hours spent on repetitive web scraping tasks and devote more attention to data quality, analysis, and innovation. Additionally, businesses using Oxylabs' unified web scraping platform can bypass maintaining costly infrastructure like servers. That's refreshing news, considering that 61% of professionals identify this problem as the most pressing when collecting data on a large scale. Oxylabs has enabled companies of all sizes to utilize the power of big data. The company has been a web intelligent platform and premium proxy provider since 2015. It has emerged as a global leader in the web intelligence collection industry. The organization has also forged close ties with dozens of Fortune 500 companies. Companies such as Conductor, Trivago, and Wiser trust Oxylabs' data collection expertise. The company has made an impact with its constant innovation, extensive patent portfolio, and focus on ethical practices. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, Oxylabs was named Europe's fastest-growing web intelligence acquisition company by the Financial Times' FT 1000 list. OxyCopilot is the industry's first artificial intelligence (AI) assistant for scraping data. It is an integral part of Oxylabs Web Scraper AI, an all-in-one public web data collection platform. "We always aspired to be industry leaders through innovation, and taking a step further in the field of AI was a natural business decision for us. OxyCopilot is unique in its design, and we are currently patenting technological implementations behind it. Most importantly, it functions as a part of a broader platform that includes other AI-powered solutions, from proxy management to web unblocking," says Černiauskas. Public web data is like gold for businesses around the globe. However, gathering this information is too expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive for many companies. Oxylabs has introduced its new AI-driven web scraper, OxyCopilot, which saves businesses time and money. Companies can easily extract the needed data with a URL and natural language prompts. Oxylabs holds over 100 patents globally, part of them covering technologies that have AI and ML implementations. In 2023, the company obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2017 standard for excellence in information security management. "With the help of AI machine learning (ML), we are moving towards automating the entire public web data collection process," concludes Černiauskas.

The Internet is becoming a breeding ground for spam. Not the tinned variety—no, we’re talking about the relentless, soul-crushing onslaught of automated form spam that has made running a website feel like an endless game of whack-a-mole with bots Every time you think you've dealt with it, a new flood arrives, turning your contact forms, comment sections, and customer feedback pages into the equivalent of a dumpster fire. And where are the hosting providers in all of this chaos? Sitting on the sidelines, waiting for you to report the damage. Why are the companies we entrust with our websites seemingly more reactive than proactive when it comes to combating the spam plague? According to CleanTalk, a popular and highly effective WordPress plugin provider, their service now protects most web forms from unwanted spam and it does amazing job mind you, However, in an alarming twist, the evolution of sneaky spam bots is beginning to outwit these protections, slipping past even the most advanced filters. The Proactive Approach: Still a Fantasy Let’s be real. Hosting providers have the resources. They have the infrastructure. They can see the patterns. But instead of stopping spam attacks before they cripple your site, they wait—oh, they wait until it’s far too late, and your inbox is flooded with a thousand messages about miracle weight loss pills, sketchy loan offers, and suspicious ‘business opportunities.’ Then, and only then, do they swoop in, offering "support" (if you can even call it that). It begs the question: If they know spam bots are such a rampant issue, why aren’t they doing more? It’s like having a security guard at the front door of a building, but instead of stopping intruders, they wait until the intruder has raided the entire place before calling for backup. Where's the sense in that? They Have the Tools, But They're Not Using Them We’ve all heard the excuse, "Oh, but you can install third-party plugins." Yeah, no thanks. Why should customers be forced to play tech support for their own websites when the people hosting them should already be deploying the latest anti-spam and anti-malware systems? We’re not asking for a miracle, just for you to use the tools you’ve got in a way that makes sense! Cloudflare’s out there doing it, why can’t they? Hosting providers are quick to offer flashy deals—“99% uptime!” and “24/7 customer support!”—but where’s the promise of “We’ll proactively block malicious bots and won’t allow our servers to be used in attacks on other websites. Enough is Enough It’s 2024, and automated form spam is still an unresolved problem because hosting providers are playing a dangerous game of catch-up. They prefer to wait until the bot tsunami hits, responding only when the damage has been done. The result? Countless hours wasted cleaning up spam, frustrated business owners, and customer trust eroded by the lack of effective spam protection. The Internet is becoming a breeding ground for spam. Not the tinned variety—no, we’re talking about the relentless, soul-crushing onslaught of automated form spam that has made running a website feel like an endless game of whack-a-mole with bots The Internet is becoming a breeding ground for spam . Not the tinned variety—no, we’re talking about the relentless, soul-crushing onslaught of automated form spam that has made running a website feel like an endless game of whack-a-mole with bots spam Every time you think you've dealt with it, a new flood arrives, turning your contact forms, comment sections, and customer feedback pages into the equivalent of a dumpster fire. And where are the hosting providers in all of this chaos? Sitting on the sidelines, waiting for you to report the damage. Why are the companies we entrust with our websites seemingly more reactive than proactive when it comes to combating the spam plague? you According to CleanTalk , a popular and highly effective WordPress plugin provider, their service now protects most web forms from unwanted spam and it does amazing job mind you, However, in an alarming twist, the evolution of sneaky spam bots is beginning to outwit these protections, slipping past even the most advanced filters. CleanTalk The Proactive Approach: Still a Fantasy The Proactive Approach: Still a Fantasy Let’s be real. Hosting providers have the resources. They have the infrastructure. They can see the patterns. But instead of stopping spam attacks before they cripple your site, they wait—oh, they wait until it’s far too late, and your inbox is flooded with a thousand messages about miracle weight loss pills, sketchy loan offers, and suspicious ‘business opportunities.’ Then, and only then, do they swoop in, offering "support" (if you can even call it that). only It begs the question: If they know spam bots are such a rampant issue, why aren’t they doing more? It’s like having a security guard at the front door of a building, but instead of stopping intruders, they wait until the intruder has raided the entire place before calling for backup. Where's the sense in that? They Have the Tools, But They're Not Using Them They Have the Tools, But They're Not Using Them We’ve all heard the excuse, "Oh, but you can install third-party plugins." Yeah, no thanks. Why should customers be forced to play tech support for their own websites when the people hosting them should already be deploying the latest anti-spam and anti-malware systems? We’re not asking for a miracle, just for you to use the tools you’ve got in a way that makes sense! Cloudflare’s out there doing it, why can’t they? Hosting providers are quick to offer flashy deals—“99% uptime!” and “24/7 customer support!”—but where’s the promise of “We’ll proactively block malicious bots and won’t allow our servers to be used in attacks on other websites. Enough is Enough Enough is Enough It’s 2024, and automated form spam is still an unresolved problem because hosting providers are playing a dangerous game of catch-up. They prefer to wait until the bot tsunami hits, responding only when the damage has been done. The result? Countless hours wasted cleaning up spam, frustrated business owners, and customer trust eroded by the lack of effective spam protection.

The Automated Spam War: Why Hosting Providers Only Fight Back After the Damage Is Done?

As developers, we often face the challenge of balancing creativity with the need for efficiency. Whether you’re coding a complex application or debugging lines of code that just won’t cooperate, it’s easy to fall into the trap of procrastination. The good news? There are actionable strategies you can implement and it is actually not that hard. Break Down Big Tasks into Bite-Sized Pieces Big projects can be overwhelming, leading to procrastination. The solution? Break them down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This tactic, known as "chunking," allows you to focus on one thing at a time, reducing the mental load and making the work feel less daunting. Actionable Tip: Start by identifying your main goal and then list out every small action needed to achieve it. For example, if you’re building a new feature, break it down into tasks like "design the UI," "write the API endpoints," and "test the functionality." Tackle one chunk at a time. Prioritize Your Most Important Tasks Not all tasks are created equal. Some have a higher impact on your goals than others. By identifying and focusing on your Most Important Tasks each day, you ensure that you’re moving the needle on what really matters. Actionable Tip: Each morning, before diving into your code write down your top three tasks for the day. These should be the tasks that, if completed, will make the most significant difference in your progress. Work on these tasks first, before getting distracted by less important activities like checking emails or fixing minor bugs. Utilize Time Blocking Time blocking is a powerful technique where you schedule specific blocks of time for different tasks throughout your day. This method helps you maintain focus, avoid distractions, and ensures that you allocate time to all your important activities. Actionable Tip: Start by creating a daily or weekly schedule that blocks out time for each of your tasks. For example, block 9 AM to 11 AM for coding, 11 AM to 12 PM for code reviews, and 1 PM to 2 PM for emails. Focus on one task during each block without multitasking. This approach not only enhances your focus but also reduces the mental fatigue associated with constantly switching tasks. Reflect and Adjust Regularly Productivity isn’t just about working hard; it’s also about working smart. Regular reflection allows you to assess what’s working, what’s not, and make adjustments to improve your workflow. By taking a few minutes each day to review your progress, you can identify bottlenecks and celebrate your successes. Actionable Tip: At the end of each day, reflect on what you accomplished and what challenges you faced. Ask yourself questions like: Did I complete my tasks? Where did I get stuck? How can I improve tomorrow? This practice of continuous improvement will help you optimize your productivity over time. Leverage the Power of Accountability Accountability can be a game-changer when it comes to staying on track with your tasks. By sharing your goals with someone else or working alongside a partner, you create a sense of responsibility that can motivate you to follow through. Actionable Tip: Partner with a colleague or a friend or with this ai-powered accountability partner, and regularly check in on each other’s progress. You can set daily or weekly goals and share your accomplishments and challenges. Knowing that someone else is counting on you can provide the extra push needed to stay focused and productive. Remember, productivity is a skill that can be developed over time. Start small, stay consistent, and watch as these techniques help you take control of your work and get shit done, day after day.

I built startups that had tons of customers and amazing products. I built startups that made an insane amount of money while being just a few HTML pages. I built and sold startups, and the process is always the same: Grind -> do what investors want -> do stuff that doesn't matter for the customers -> get money in the bank -> repeat. A couple of years ago, I decided that I am done with it. And you should be, too. Lifeups instead of Startups Lifeups Instead of Startups Lifeups are companies that upgrade your (and everyone's involved) life. I tried "Lifeup" – the art of making products just for you and your customers while you enjoy life – in my previous company, and I loved the process. We built only what customers wanted.
We were 4 people.
The due diligence for the acquisition was super easy.
The codebase was poetry.
I didn't have to share any money with VCs.
I didn't have to talk with VCs (the best part). Now, I am going to perfect "Lifeups" with my latest company, which surprisingly is all about financial freedom. Hey Financial Independence I can build exactly what I want: a 100% customer-funded company that prioritizes people's growth and adventures instead of losing time on VCs and stupid board meetings. A company where we can over-engineer stuff just to make a small thing faster that less than 1% of our customers will ever notice. A company where customers know that we'll never divert from our vision and we'll fix ALL bugs. A company that doesn't have an expiration date because "we had to spend more for growth." I got inspired by Michael and his tweet, while walking back from the beach. On a Tuesday afternoon. I built startups that had tons of customers and amazing products.
