This is a good example of AI native thinking. Teach AI everything and ask it if it has learnt throughly learnt. The results are surprisingly good. I am following similar steps from this article https://www.lucasfcosta.com/blog/backpressure-is-all-you-need

My blog and personal website: https://lucasfcosta.com I usually write about Startups, Agile, and CLIs.

I'm sure you have seen it already, but there has been some sound criticism of the DORA metrics: https://isthisit.nz/posts/2022/state-of-the-dora-devops-metrics/ Though I disagree with Logan about the change failure rate (see https://two-wrongs.com/you-can-reliably-measure-change-failure-rate.ht… I still think he is spot on in terms of MTTR. Strongly seconding Reinertsen for anyone interested in this, though. I think this article of yours is particularly insightful and of high quality: https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/08/31/engineering-metrics.html

A couple of related articles: https://lucasfcosta.com/2021/09/20/monte-carlo-forecasts.html https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/10/26/evidence-based-scheduling/ I've been trying to find out if there exists any out of the box solutions for getting cycle time for issues etc directly from the github api, and then do forecasting with confidence intervals - but so far I've drawn a blank.

funny given that only a month ago he was expounding the benefits of "Talk To Your Customers" [1] aka "Agile", which is essential artificially and programmatically governing your day via deadlines. [1] https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/08/03/talk-to-your-customers.html

Have your team read this and know its a managment and not a team problem. https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/09/15/deadlines.html

This piqued my interest so I had a read of the below which explained things very well, although I’m only about 70% fully comprehending it: https://lucasfcosta.com/2018/05/20/Y-The-Most-Beautiful-Idea-in-Comput…

Reminds me of this post: https://lucasfcosta.com/2021/09/20/monte-carlo-forecasts.html

Nice explanation. Another article on terminals I stumbled upon in the past https://lucasfcosta.com/2019/04/07/streams-introduction.html

I can see some Monads in his examples. One particular example being https://lucasfcosta.com/assets/fortune-and-cowsay-streams.png

Guess streams was a mixed analog / digital world thing[0]. Is 'curl' the higher order wave crest of LC_NETWORK (aka 'sane' http protocol reference to type bundled 0,1,2 file descriptors) One can have curl as a bash loadable routine without the need to recompile bash. Headless or not, much more sane[4] than ctypes.sh[1] as curl binary epilog/prolog handle the non-http protocol items within the context of curl module/program. More relevant logic level related to topic beyond http protocol only curl : socat[2] and gnu netcat[3]. Ah, HN doesn't provide a way to conjure up * data tapes (comments not withstanding). Ebnf being battle tested for years & grepping the ANTLER[7] by the horns: awk interpeting http stream via http protocol[5] via ebnf of http protocol likely to better handle the different protocal layers more gracefully than bash script. Would need to make sure awk is in bit mode and not character/byte mode to avoid line discipline issues / 'stty sane'[4]. Note: Perl/python provide better layers of abstraction than shell coding for the different levels of protocols used in/with http protocol/ ebnf,Kleene* coding.[6] In shell, having a different command programm for every ebnf set/protocol level vs. awk, different ebnf for each Kleene* protocol level) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [0] : Your trerminal is not a terminal: An Introduction to Streams :…
