Ready Foods Takes Kata to a Whole New Level - Virtually!
In mid-March, Ready Foods was one of the first companies in Colorado to implement social distancing and work-from-home accommodations. Despite not being able to meet in person, the team was inspired by the results they were seeing from Kata and wanted to continue their journey. Since then, they have conducted thousands of Katas over Zoom. We had a chance to chat with Marco Abarca about the experience.

Vol 28: Taking a Bite Out of Bots
|
|
Like so many things we encounter in life, bots—software code “robots” designed to perform certain tasks automatically—can be good or bad. Chatbots, like those that guide you through voice-activated payment or troubleshooting processes, are programmed to respond to a finite set of human questions. Nothing useful comes of insulting them or asking repeatedly for a real person to talk to unless you hit on the right combination of words. (I’ve tried.) Googlebots crawl websites in spider fashion to scan for content. (I’ve lost many hours to reading obscure tidbits these selfless research “assistants” uncover.)
Malicious bots, however, are not our friends. They may scrape content from legitimate websites so that phishing websites appear authentic enough to fool people looking for information, for example, updates on Covid-19. (The ratio of fraudulent or spoofed websites to legitimate websites is estimated to be 20 to 1.) Computers that have been “turned” (an old spy term for what occurs when a secret agent is compromised and becomes a double agent, thus working at cross-purposes to his or her original mission) can be gathered into botnets (shorthand for “robot networks”). The combined computing power of a botnet can then be used to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, disrupt home and office network communications, or other criminal and malicious activity as a commodity service for as little as $5 per hour.
