Your scrum master is management. It’s just a renamed PM. I can run a very near standup when allowed to. I also think it’s a waste of time. Just send weekly updates to a group email, or something.

I mean, there's a functional difference if your email client will try to protect you by submitting the URL to a public database. Which is incredible and mind-boggling, but also apparently the world we live in.

ROFL. This isn't "unpractical EU regulation" but once again a corporation doing malicious compliance. At some point they really should just get banned from the market with any IP rights getting invalidated.

Edit: oh wait I'm completely wrong, that's not a key, that's an ID in a directory, lol. The public key thing is just a plan. There's a thing called DID that identifies you. There's a few options, but one is called &

I'm gonna go ahead and make a half-serious half-joking hot take: Actually you should be using an embedded database. Half-joking because there's like, tons of infrastructure, both literal and theoretical, that you're gonna mis

I mean, you _can_ host your staging environment on a Minisforum PC hidden in your closet and then deploy to Hetzner, and probably save a _ton_ unless your service benefits from things like, say, autoscaling or global low-latency access. Nic

But it surely will! It will! See, now that we're profitable, we're gonna become a _scale up_, go international, hire 20 developers, turn everything into microservices, rewrite the UI our customers love, _not_ hire more customer se

I wouldn't focus too much on it. Just so many activities that rely on people feeling comfortable, in a familiar, intimate atmosphere. You can't spoof that with a restaurant or an AirBNB. So even if the place would allow it, people

You keep missing the point. People don’t go to visit a conference center but _me_. Yes I can go to an event but when it’s done to do private stuff (going to events for themselves is quite different) it really is just a substitute. And you’r

See, the difference here is that SCO was scum, and in this case the people who re-implement GPL tools on permissive licenses are scum.

They have hundreds of contributors and they don't audit them. This is not a blackbox reimplementation.

I mean yes, but I read that more as "patronizing." I.e. how many patrons (of some sort) Mozilla would need.

This is silly. I mean sure, I did try out Blazor - and ended up unimpressed despite otherwise quite liking C#/.Net - but ultimately it's Blazor making extraordinary claims. And some of what I wrote is about the programming model i
