Spending a couple of months tinkering with hardware and programming assembly will make you understand the basics of how a computer works in a totally different way than other high level languages will. I haven't programmed a single lin

I'm happy to see news about RxDB. I really want them to do great but have the same concern with the inactivity of underlying tech. Both PouchDb and CouchDb have existed for ages and are such a great fit for modern web apps. They just l

Awesome. With a build step to do some data conversion I can see this being a more accessible option than rendering with canvas or SVG. Not that tables are that accessible but still, a better option. I think you could make that into the main

I've done a lot of improv with different TTRPGs. As long as the rules are simple and the focus is on the narrative rather than wargaming it's a perfect way to explore improv. My last group focused a lot on exploring relations betw

I've made a successfull switch 10 years ago to UX/UI designer. I had a keen intrest in the area and some proficiency from leading different types of workshops as a lead developer as well as being a hobby artist. This was before UX

Bunch of years ago, probably 2009, I looked up the domain fables.com. Did a whois for that and similar domains, ..and ... Not taken! Thought about registering it through my regular webhost but decided to spend the evening looking for a host

Couldn't agree more. It is so tiresome to do sprint after sprint. The always running analogy rings very true in my ears. I've been doing sprints and other variations on agile methods both as a developer and the past 8 years as a d

The amount of work and discipline needed to redesigning a GUI of this scale in a coherent manner is impressive. Kudos to the whole team. How do you go about tackling it? What kind of tools do you use?

This put a big smile on my face! Thank you! It's a good compilation of what people might expect of you if you call yourself any of the above. I would add to the list most skills of a project manager, scrum master and certainly the skil
