I'm not getting it.
You need concurrency with the `push` approach, in order to not miss new messages when you are processing one.
In the `pull` approach, if you ask each agent concurrently, the stated issues disappear.

So, that's concurrency that solves the problem, not the particular choice Pull VS Push.

Also, pulling may ease the implementation of a 'by need' flow, which may be more efficient.

If you don't care about Mr Meijers medical record, nor about some famous people virtue signalling, the relevant technical and organizational bits starts at 17:20.

Good talk except kind of annoying that he’s so partial to Facebook because he works there

This is pure gold 🙂

hate agile, scrum, retros, stand-ups and all the other bullshit that comes with it.

Hindi may bol

42: 53 "Fortunately I don't see any people with ties" *a person with a tie walks into the room and sits. (Probably a scrum lover manager who was late because he was in a SCRUM ceremony meeting)

Amazing talk.

great talk!

i have been in an ICU, I understand the experience that he is referring to…

Michelin starred restaurants have a TON of process in the kitchen. They also have standups. The trick is to have the right process for the right people and the right problems.

Writing the wrong code is also a huge waste of time. Even bigger of a waste than standing around talking about it. Talking about code is faster than writing it, and can give you a shortcut to avoiding the bad ideas.

"I have to eliminate Agile and SCRUM before I die"…lol!

This man is awesome person)

great talk 🙂

"Be Bold" statement is so freaking true and it reminds me numerous discussions with my managers who didn't want to take any risks at all. We end up stuck with unfinished problems and it completely sacrificed all the drive that company had at given time.

scrum proved useful for once

tell, don't ask….
good to see he is still standing, hope he has many more years to go

" Never take life for granted "

Not all developers hate suits, I'm a developer and I love them.
Sure, a lot of people in suits are annoying (managers etc), but that's beside the point. 😛

Erik Meijer 02:17 — [hacklang] is a version of PHP, that looks like PHP, but under the cover it is really OCaml. Facebook is all written in Hack (front-end), but really it is written in OCaml with Hack/PHP syntax.

Nice talk. Learned bits. 🙂

Code wins arguments!

sound quality is terrible

Inspiring talk. Thank you.

Awesome talk!
