A version of the full history is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avedis_Zildjian_Company
It's not easy to summarize. I really recommend reading the whole thing.
> The company was founded in Constantinople in 1623 by Avedis Zildjian, an Armenian metalsmith and alchemist.
...
> After the death of Avedis, the business, and the secret for producing the metal, was handed down to several generations of male heirs.
...
> In 1850, Avedis II built a 25-foot schooner, in order to sail cymbals produced in Constantinople to trade exhibitions such as the Great Exhibition in London, and to supply musicians in Europe.
...
> Haroutune II's son Avedis III had left Armenia for the United States in 1909, and settled in Boston, where he established a family and a confectionary business. In 1927, he received a letter from his uncle Aram, informing him that he was to become heir to the family business, and Aram came to the US.
...
> Avedis III sought out jazz drummers like Gene Krupa to understand their needs.
I also recommend listening to the drum history podcast which has episodes with Zildjian and Sabian family members.

I've been pretty happy with clink [0].
I'm not looking to have the same environment everywhere, I'm fine to have windows stuff optimized for windows on windows, and vice versa on Linux.
By that reasoning, I think clink is a much better option.
Clink + windows terminal + Git tools is the perfect setup IMO.

First 10 minutes are quite interesting. Analog vs digital, longevity of music, “open” formats.

Still the case, right
Any recommendation for a provider with dedicated servers in the US?
I’m with a provider now who is phasing them out.
> - capture total velocity every 2 weeks and eventually use the avg for future planning
I have never got to this stage. Someone is added to the team. Someone leaves the team. New team members get more knowledge. Old team members get sick or take a lot of leave. The focus of what you're working on moves from one part of the code base to another.
Every time you have to throw your velocity out the window because you're not the same team any more, and those metrics are for a different team that no longer exists.
You could argue points are useful as a discussion point to make sure there isn't some massive piece of complexity hiding in something (everyone says 3 points, the quiet person who knows the most about it says 13), but even tshirt sizing covers that imo, and regardless after that you should just throw them away.
Yeah, it won't work without a stable team. And that may be okay in a true agile environment but I've always had a manager who wants some type of estimate/high level schedule.
We do T-shirt sizes mapped to numbers, because recording effort in numbers lets you get an avg etc...
Agreed, Scrum is a death march. Kanban is the way.
Yeah, you are doing it wrong if scrum is deadlines. I've worked with people who had to pull all nighters to get all sprint content done before the sprint closes. I'm using it more as a window to do some cheap analysis on our progress.
If you're a Claude Code user (I assume much of HN is) some context on Letta Code: it's a fully open source coding harness (#1 model-agnostic OSS on Terminal-Bench, #4 overall).
It's specifically designed to be "memory-first" - the idea is that you use the same coding agents perpetually, and have them build learned context (memory) about you / your codebase / your org over time. There are some built-in memory tools like `/init` and `/remember` to help guide this along (if your agent does something stupid, you can 'whack it' with /remember). There's also a `/clear` command, which resets the message buffer, but keeps the learned context / memory inside the context window.
We built this for ourselves - Letta Code co-authors the majority of PRs on the letta-code GitHub repo. I personally have been the same agent for ~2+ weeks (since the latest stable build) and it's fun to see its memory become more and more valuable over time.
LMK if you have any q's! The entire thing is OSS and designed to be super hackable, and can run completely locally when combined with the Letta docker image.
