Honestly this conversation has led me to believe that I am enriched simply by not knowing what a workflow is, so I’m glad to go on about my business at this point.

@sao Remember when we were talking about chocolate flows? Can we revisit that?
-
@Snackness is this what circling back feels like?
let it be a challenge to you
-
@Snackness Please. Yes. All the chocolate.
@sao In my current position, I set up customized workflows for (large corporate scientific research) clients. Essentially, there is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for each sub-task their scientists do in order to conduct their experiments/analyses in a repeatable fashion. I arrange pieces of software that help them keep track of what options are allowed per the SOP relating to the step of the process they’re currently on.
Basically, a workflow as I understand it is a big decision tree so that work (science) can be done consistently and repeatably by different humans.
This is understandable when one is doing science at a large lab (or even a small one, if one is publishing it). I cannot think of any possible reason to have a formal workflow when playing pretendy fun-time games. One might want to be consistent but there’s very little need for repeatability nor is it likely anyone will get audited or investigated over any of this (one hopes!).
-
@sao We tabled it, we put a pin in it, I do think it’s time to circle back and ideate.
-
Structure and process is great and helpful but in my experience in something as casual as MU staffing, I think flexibility is just more valuable than a really structured development workflow.
idk it doesn’t necessarily seem that useful to talk about since the very obvious Way Too Little and Way Too Much are what is going to come to mind in any discussion.

“I don’t even breathe anymore, but I’m just asking questions.”
Or… do you mean a different kind of ghost?

I don’t have a life, but I do have a catio.

@sao Catios are people too.

What if you end up hating both Agile and Waterfall because you have the same class of dysfunctional goblins infesting management who fail to effectively implement either?
Oh wait I thought this was the RL Peeves thread.

When someone asks for volunteers, and so you volunteer. But then they completely ignore your messenger, and don’t even bother with a token ‘sorry, no room for you’ response. So you’re left hanging until you see the scene they needed volunteers for begin.

@Cornpopped Sometimes I still get surprised by how rude people are. Wow.
