    Haven't tried this, but I've recently become a big fan of Matt Pococks skills. Workflow: /grill-with-docs -> /to-prd -> /to-issue -> /tdd. That will interview relentlessy until the…

    When was the last time you used Jenkins? I don't get the hate. Not only from you, but lots of people on the internet. What makes Jenkins stand out IMO is the community and the core…

    This is just awesome! But seems like a closed source project, and the pricing page returns HTTP 404. Are there any open source alternatives like this? First time I hear about this …

    Similar story happened to me once: I had recently got my drivers license, and one day went to bed early (completely sober). In my dream that night I got drunk, took my dads car and…
