This is why I personally am very reluctant to the sharing of well founded ideas on platforms such as github, in hackathons, in competitions, in recorded speeches etc. How unlikely it may seem, this is a great example that ideas with tractio

Yes, I agree, and everyone (devs) should think about who they’re really trying to make things easy for. If you simply say follow the ISO standard you’re essentially making it easy for yourself and hard for the users. Sprinkle that with a

I thought jitsi sent video from user to user, not via server? Or is that a configuration matter?

As I’m not from the US, could you explain the differences or provide a resource?

I feel like it’s a behavior encouraged by Googles Material design or derived projects: slide details in and out of the screen (google maps pin details, for example), hide input boundaries (no border on search text input fields), tons of spo

I find this interesting as I had a somewhat opposite experience when I tried a dark restaurant when visiting Berlin (eating in complete darkness). It was surprisingly rest to relocate utensils and my glass of beer, as I went back and forth

Isn’t the point here that it was the path the free information ideology inadvertently produced: (free) information served with ads (because everyone needs butter on the bread)? And because of that ingrained ideology, it’s still difficult to

That’s why I always push the message that we choose the right amount of bureaucracy for the task at hand. Simple change / feature? No need to make a lot of documents for that? Fluffy idea that several people needs to work on? We need s

That I can understand and I’ve seen that too. And now Scaled Agile Framework is coming in hot as the enterprise version. I’m actually proud of the parts of agile we work with, which primarily enables us to react changing needs and prioritie

I very much agree. I remember when i realized that TDD shouldn't have such weight in our development as it had gotten (when it was high on the hype curve). It was when we starting using a messaging infrastructure that made everything m

True, startupconfessions.io is inspired by codingconfessional.com, which I'm a big fan of. The idea to test a similar format on other subjects came to me during a teacher strike this spring, where the was a lot of classic thrashing in
