The video brought me back to my internship in the early 2010s. My job was testing the new US ovens (which for us Europeans are massive). The bus was amazing. Integrated into a LabV…

To me, the most important question is: how do I scale v7 in an environment of 20+ engineers? When using v7, I need some sort of audit that checks in every API contract for the usag…

... If you live close by Theresienwiese, the city provides free cleaning for any accidents during Oktoberfest in your front/backyard also. I have to smile everytime I do find the n…
