This is the direction my current employer is headed. I was sent on a week long course to evaluate the viability of PowerApps. While there is certainly some cool stuff in there, it …

The changes they made (I guess a couple years now) to their pricing model really bit us in the ass. We had a 130 user licence on the old 5$ tier, and had to aggressively cut user c…

My current employer is in the process of making this mistake, and it feels awful. We've already started losing some good folks.

Not that this will help at all, but from my experience it really seems like the product has degraded in quality over the last few years. Originally we only had a few folks using Te…

While this is just one part of the protest, but what is happening in Coutts is illegal. Alberta passed an act recently (2020) restricting where you can protest - https://www.albert…

I picked up tendies dot ca just for the silly email address. A few weeks later I got a purchase request for 420 USD - I said no.

This is certainly going to vary from person to person, and will not be a _one size fits all_ kind of thing. I am the exact opposite, and the year of remote working has probably bee…

Been using it since 2016, and I would say the advantages are mostly related to their DevOps features - there are integrations with k8s, SentryIO, and Prometheus to help you with op…

Currently a starter tier user with more than 25 users, and I don't know how I feel. We had been mulling an upgrade to premium, but the price jump is a tough sell for us. This kind …

I am lucky in that fact that I am a position where my opinions are listened to and respected. I have spent the last few years trying to improve a number of our processes. If I wasn…

Free private repos is exactly why I was using BitBucket. I will have to think it moving will justify the effort.

yeah - I am also curious about this considering there are projects like ChakraCore and node-ChakraCore out there. Would seem like a shame to lose the work done on that project.

Incomplete or missing requirements. When it isn't clear what you are trying to deliver, you introduce a whole host of problems to the project.

Not relevant to this post, but I clicked your username out of curiosity (and because I am apparently a super creep). Turns out I worked with you years ago (I was on the j9jit team)…

Yeah -- that should be the one they're talking about.
