I'd like to say this code is bad, but it's nothing compared with what I put up with on a daily basis.


And with different banks.


Really just a credit card with a different institution is enough to see you through something like this.


Yeah, we have 30 minute standups, and they often overrun. We don't, on the other hand, have grooming or estimation sessions or retros. The result is that the same issues plague us each sprint, not least badly defined stories ending up in the sprint.


The pound is still with us, however I agree using the Euro makes more sense.


Indeed, the app, while nicely implemented, contained nothing groundbreaking.

So his refactor fixed a bug and broke a test which he fixed, so you assume he must have assumed instead of verified.


Is that the same Homer Simpson who has a highly skilled job in the nuclear industry, earning well above the median.


Yes, typically 30, 40, 50, 60 and 90.


If I'm not mistaken, this is not some special power Royal Mail has. In the UK, anyone can launch a prosecution.


Yes. I have been corrected above.

It is a longstanding power the Royal Mail had, in fact.

But yes, private prosecutions are protected by law and Royal Mail now prosecutes using the right of an individual RM employee to bring the charge.

So the bit I want to read up on later is exactly who the individuals were in each prosecution. Is it the chief executive?
