Sad news: A new hire decided moving to USA is too risky given current status on COVID-19, economy, prospects for higher education, and immigration policies. Posting their letter (w permission) so others can be aware of how the US is viewed now by this highly talented person (1/3)

I noticed today that the originator of gitflow has added a note at the top of his gitflow page cautioning that it's a bad idea to use gitflow if you're building web apps.
Again, for those in the back: IT'S A BAD IDEA TO USE GITFLOW FOR WEB APPS

I came up with the name “squads” and I am a teensy bit annoyed that the author snarkily added “because it sounds cooler (not joking)” after it introducing the name in the article 😂 – at Berlin, Germany

Me want one.
My new laptop sticker arrived yesterday! I wanted something professional-but-fun to have on the front of my work laptop, so I covered it in photos of ATLAS and the LHC at #CERN, with cameos from ALICE, CMS & LHCb!
What do you think? 👩💻

Making Scrum Master a role, rather than a full-time job, often means inexperienced practitioners who focus on the mechanistic and prescribed.
Ceremonies that should enable become rituals that dull engagement.
Frameworks that should be built on/around become fortresses.

What are some arguments for testing code and what are some arguments for testing too much? Where are the boundaries? What is a good test and what is a bad test?
I was two done from that office. Great times
My office at @CERN is in the building “where the web was born”. The corridors are lined with wooden cupboards, each one filled with retro treasures! Every day from tomorrow until Christmas we’ll be opening a door of the #CERNCorridorCupboardAdventCalendar - stay tuned!
