Highlights from the week

25 Years of Krita

Twenty-five years. A quarter century. That's how long we've been working on Krita. Well, what would become Krita. It started out as KImageShop, but that name was nuked by a now long-dead German lawyer. Then it was renamed to Krayon, and that name was also nuked. Then it was renamed to Krita, and that name stuck.

Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects

One Agile developer criticized the daily stand-up element, describing it to The Register as "a feast of regurgitation."

However, while the Agile Manifesto might have its problems, those stem more from its implementation rather than the principles themselves. "We don't need a test team because we're Agile" is a cost-saving abdication of responsibility.

In highlighting the need to understand the requirements before development begins, the research charts a path between Agile purists and Waterfall advocates.

Microsoft Recall should make you consider Linux

It was hard to miss the irony in Microsoft’s latest product announcement. A new feature named “Recall” takes snapshots of whatever is on-screen on a Windows 11 computer, every few seconds, and then stores it locally on-disk. Unfortunately it turns out that the analyzed data is stored in plaintext, leaving users’ private activity vulnerable to hackers. As security researcher Kevin Beaumont pointed out, “Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code.”

Mates, that's all for this week!
I hope it was useful.
