Agile methodology feels a tad cultlike. Taking a project management course and there's a lot of buzzwords which are simply formalizing existing good practices. And then there's this focus on the agile methodology. There's some stuff in there to learn, but do we have to keep calling everything agile just because it involves granular steps that allow incorporation of feedback?

It's for the benefit of senior leadership. The buzzwords get buy-in from them.

Ugh, the AC in my car isn't working. It's either a $25 sensor, or a several hundred dollar compressor. I was eager to find out which, but the old sensor broke while trying to remove it. Hopefully it wont be a pain to extract it.

Yeah, unfortunately this was the HVAC in my house. I had to replace the compressor and blend door in my car a few years ago; cost me $500.

:cry: The AC in my place crapped out some time ago.

:x The only good thing about the cold weather we've been having is that I didn't need AC.

:arrow: Thankfully it's a window unit so I'd imagine it'd be easier to replace than an outdoor unit.

:lol: Cheaper, too.

Mine is also out. I'm hoping it's just low on coolant. I've had the compressor go out before, and it led to issues with engine overheating that I'm not having now. That said, different make and model car too, so who knows.

I was at least able to confirm that it is the AC flow sensor. So now the only trouble will be extracting the broken one so I can fit the new one in.
