The SilverLogic has grown dramatically as an agile software development company over the past several years. Now 10 years old and with almost 60 members, we faced the question: how do we —the organization—introspect, course-correct, and learn at scale? A company-wide retrospective is unfeasible, and surveys only take us so far.

User stories are used to articulate the value we want end users to get from a given feature. Writing a story is as simple as filling out a ticket for a sandwich at the deli; you specify what you want, the sandwich is made per your specifications, you inspect your order, and then pay for it if it meets the requirements you outlined; it’s a work ticket for an independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, testable deliverable.

Dare we say when referring to tech: “This ain't Kansas anymore”? Though there is a solid start to the information age, the time of its end is certain, transition is upon us. What do we call this new era? To answer that, let’s take a gander at society and how the most cutting-edge tech is handling information, and let’s do it through a business-to-business or B2B lens for title sake.

NFTs: From Speculation to Utility
A lot of the current talk about NFTs is about collectability rather than their usability, or functionality. What can you really DO with non-fungible tokens that make them valuable aside from purchasing something like a “Bored ape” and becoming a member of the “Bored Ape Yacht Club?”
Currently, many NFT projects are designed for value accrual which encourages holders to engage in speculative behavior rather than building the network. Tony Shen, in his article, Do Not Design for Speculators, (July 2018, read Feb. 22, 2022) discusses how to reduce the influence of speculation on NFTs by introducing a tax similar to a property tax that punishes land speculators and is intended to get the land into the hands of someone that values it more because they want to make a productive asset, like homes, or commercial property. In the NFT realm, Harberger taxes have been proposed as a way to force speculators to sell to investors to ensure the NFT is more productively utilized (Harberger Taxes on Ethereum, Nov. 2018, read Feb.23, 2022). Simon de la Rouviere in his article in Medium, July 15, 2018, says:

As part of our hiring process, we do a standardized, at-home, non-time-limited Work Sample Test. The goals of the work sample test are to provide applicants a standardized way to demonstrate their abilities in web development, and are for the most part framework agnostic, even though we prefer Django, applicants with experience in Rails or Express are welcome to use their preferred tool. This article contains some readings and resources that we consider "nice to have" knowledge for applicants or anyone interested in working in web development.
