On the app level, Apple apps have strict power profiling. I've spoken to Apple's app engineers, and one of their biggest constraints in feature delivery is rejection by "battery police". So an app's power profile should be measured even in development.
On the OS level, several advancements like coalescing and App Nap are making the system more power efficient.
I can understand that beta builds are different due to: * debug builds having symbols and more overhead in processing * certain power profile restriction could be lifted
But those probably don't account for allowing a huge drop in battery life. Fundamentally, if the OS restrictions are strict, then any bad code should be prevented from draining the battery life too quickly. Why hasn't that happened? Or am I missing something?
I'm working as a dev in a brand new startup. The team is new (but experienced) so there was some learning / setup overhead but it's now fairly minimal. We use Clubhouse so we have some insights into our velocity.
Now, base on our realistic projection we need at least 17 days before we can deliver our initial Epics. However, management could no longer wait and they have set an arbitrary deadline by the end of month. They are now asking us to work through the weekend at a remote location so we could be undistracted to deliver the work. Management thinks that the 3 days away undistracted will yield twice the productivity so the math ends up somewhat working (2 work weeks plus weekend = 12 plus 3 days with 2x output = 15 days).
I'm not entirely convinced that this is possible but management believes so. My biggest concern is that the team will not deliver twice the productivity over the weekend for 3 days and still keep up with normal productivity the week after. I'm wondering if other HN members have similar stories to share (both success and failure) and if there's any recommendation I can make to management.
Maybe we can get enough sites behind this to send a message to Congress.
The idea is simple: to have a beautiful place to collect and share quotes. It will be fully plugged into twitter and facebook yet all the noises are filtered away.
Since all three of us are doing this for the first time, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks HN!
