after SmartBear dropped support for Cucumber and fired the last remaining developer, it looks like SpecFlow may go the same way with Tricentis github.com/SpecFlowOSS/Sp…

For a green field software project, I mandated trunk based development. Many of the devs were not happy, including the tech lead. There were many complaints during initial team growth, but they agreed to comply for now and we’d revisit in retro. Results? 🤔 1/7

Oslo schools were among the first to give pupils tablets. Now they can’t read. Yesterday they gave them all ChatGPT. In a few years they won’t be able to write either. Meanwhile in the UK: My daughter’s school does not allow phones. Pupils have to read books and write with a pen.

Today SpecFlow (Cucumber for .NET) was forked because Tricentis refused to hand over the IP to the SpecFlow contributors who have either left Tricentis or never worked there. Nobody at Tricentis is maintaining it. SpecFlow is dead. Long live Reqnroll! reqnroll.net/news/2024/02/f…

Det norske språk trenger en god oversettelse av «enshittification». Jeg foreslår «bedritning». Hvilke norske tjenester har hatt størst bedritning den siste tiden?

I'm introducing daily 1-minute retrospective surveys for my team at the end of the day. We'll use it for continuous improvement. What questions would you ask?

Get your words together. Writing well is thinking well. Peterson is spot on. Thus the danger of outsourcing your words to AI. Your mind might stop trying to bother with the thinking bit too.

13 years ago I published the Eventsource npm module: npmjs.com/package/events…. It's still hugely popular and has 5M downloads/week. I handed it over to Espen Hovlandsdal 🦋 @espen.codes 7 years ago and today he announced a full modernised ESM/TS rewrite. You can safely use this now - my code is GONE

So I tried to build a tech company from Norway and here’s what happened: 1. Two years of building without almost any money/funding, better part of a year without salary 2. Raise VC and become one of Norway’s first unicorns 3. Face unrealized gains wealth tax bill of many x my

Bought an iPhone in a Three UK store that was going to be delivered on a specific day. Delivery came early while I was away, and the parcel contains cat medicine(!). Have spent hours on chat and phone. "Don't worry" they say, and every time I talk to someone it's groundhog day.

Apple froze the Ghostty Apple ID today, probably because they felt threatened by the incredible speed with which we're making the built-in Terminal look like a toy. I'm working on fixing this. Might need Tim Sweeney to expand the scope of the lawsuit. (The Ghostty Apple ID was
