Try MJML, works wonders

Concern was that it still turns down too many, maybe we were too careful. We have another vacant position soon, I might try it.

We don’t post salary ranges right now. We are a small firm and cannot keep up with the salaries from enterprises in our area. We are looking for (and finding) candidates that are w…

> what I am arguing is that SCRUM as most enforced things "micromanage and/or ignore human psychology". I think you are arguing Scrum can lead to these situations - which you cover…

Isn’t that why many teams opt to use Fibonacci sequence?

Aren’t these interactions put in place to create transparency across the team regarding progress and purpose as well as empirical validation? I am not sure how that necessarily cla…

> Every single tiny aspect of work is dictated by somebody else, commitee or some kind of process. That is not the way Scrum is meant to be implemented. The goal is to have a cross…

Whenever I come across teams with situations outlined as in this article and I talk to the people involved, it becomes apparent that Scrum was implemented for the sake of implement…

Despite him not saying "Scrum", the structure he's describing is not Scrum anyway. It might be close to what some people understand when they say "Scrum", but it is not Scrum.

How does Scrum micromanage and/or ignore human psychology?

Work Clean: The life-changing power of mise-en-place to organize your life, work, and mind Charnas, D. https://www.workclean.com/

The lower entry barrier for a lot of things. It allows the community to grow, learn and become more diverse. On the other hand, I regularly read blog articles about complex topics …

Others will talk about the benefits, so let me give you a few gotchas from us: 1. It does not replace type checks at runtime (in integration layers) 2. Compilation and startup (in …

The thing is, though, that Typescript is not solving runtime type checks. Typescript is declarative, it does not check at runtime and if you have any code interacting with third-pa…

We built a system that creates backups of PII using that mechanism; throw away the key after data is supposed to be deleted. That is legal under EU GDPR.

I use https://teuxdeux.com for weekly planning. Basically for any planning. That's the only todo list that works for me.

Try Yoga. I started doing it every morning for 15-30 minutes, it makes a big difference. Another advise I can give you: your health is more important than your job. Take the time y…

> I'm not sure what "spreading" even refers to We have code like (stupid example) something.map( {a, b, ...rest} => ({ ...rest, ...a, ...[b, c, d]})) I know what it does and how it…

What I am referring to with factories in particular is that I can have a bean injected in Spring automagically using an annotation, have an interface and an implementation behind i…

That DI layer (speaking for Spring) is pretty handy for large projects, though, because I can switch out implementations based on configurations centrally, I can use factories with…

I am leading a transition from TypeScript to Java + Spring Boot and comparing those side-by-side, Java is significantly easier to follow. In TypeScript, we have a (from my point of…

The aspects mentioned (Spring, DI containers, ...) are tool on top, though. If we just look at the language, I'd argue Java is boring - which is a good thing for certain types of a…

> It may lack a lot of the fancier features Coming from JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and Go back to Java I can tell you that’s actually a good thing.

We would use them as data transfer objects between different layers of the system - however, they cannot extend another class and thus are not suitable in our specific case.
