Muri, Mura, and Muda

Muri (むり), Mura(むら), and Muda(むだ) are terms I learned in Karate but can apply to everything in life.

むり Muri: Overdoing it. Risk of excessive effort or power.


むら Mura: Inconsistency. Risk of inconsistency of performance


むだ Muda: Pointlessness. Risk of wasted effort.

If I was to look at this from an Engineering point of view I would call it: Over-engineered, Buggy, and technical debt. As we gain experience in anything, being a physical skill, or a technical skill we must strive toward efficiency or economy of effort, movement, and energy expended. In that way, we can last longer, deliver more, and deliver better quality.

Win10 Host, Virtualbox, Kali Guest, and Virtualbox Guest Additions Foo REDUX

Here are some additional, perhaps easier notes when attempting to have a kali guest in virtualbox with a adjustable screen size. Note this is required whenever you do a new install or have a kernel upgrade.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-guest-dkms

Then reboot.

No Testing Required

"Our code craft is so good we do not require testing."

Have you ever heard such a load of crap? If you ever hear this in your software development organization don't walk away. Run!

This indicates a few problems:

1. Management. Has Failed. Full stop. Either management has taken leave of their senses or they do not care anymore and are looking for work elsewhere because the children they manage has worn them down.

2. Upper Management. Has also failed. They do not realize that the team will be producing shit and that only developer egos are driving the production. They need to fire people but they are too scared.

3. Education. Is allowing people to enter the workforce without the appropriate humility to solve problems.

So run. You will not be able to fix this problem as it has rotted the entire management chain. Eventually the product and probably the company will fail. Then, and only then will Karma be a bitch. But they will be able to blame others.
