@levelsio A common mistake when people think about Spain is to think that the whole country has the same temperature. She is from Basque country, it's a North region that even on your picture is in blue. They have around 20-25°. She might not be in AC denial, she just seems to be selfish.

@bytebytego It would be useful to look at percentage of revenues coming from different sources, especially with some historical and countries perspective. Interchange fees used to be not regulated but now many countries limit it to a certain percentage and it changes everything.

[Aliaksandr Kavalevich @aakavalevich]

@GergelyOrosz Do you think it's the same for engineering managers or only engineers?

@mr_mig_by @AlexSmolin1988 Столько же раз сколько можно менять понятие "нормально работать" :) Когда в 1950-х придумали карточки и ты мог заплатить карточкой показав ее кассиру, который делал звонок чтобы проверить есть ли деньги, многие сказали что вот что такое нормально работать :)

[Aliaksandr Kavalevich @aakavalevich]

@mr_mig_by @AlexSmolin1988 Так крипта это тоже платежи. :) Платежи как функциональность не умрет до наступления коммунизма, но что-то мне подсказывает что он так и не наступит :)

[Aliaksandr Kavalevich @aakavalevich]

@AlexSmolin1988 @mr_mig_by Приходи в финтех. Например в платежах почти вся работа делается на бэкэнде. Ты показываешь сколько миллиардов твоя бэкэнд система передвинула и все видят твою ценность. Например, в начале короны, все сходились на том, что нас выгонят последними, а первыми будут фронты :)

@andersostlund In Germany, I also heard the verb "merkeln"(to merkel) with meaning of not making any hard decisions and postponing them for later.

In a turbulent world where some companies are laying off people and others can't raise the next round, @GetJuni is delivering, raising #SeriesB, and hiring.
I can't wait to see a world where all #ecommerce businesses have a reliant financial companion.

@catalannews Does it mean that the airport will be still open for "non essential" travel and it will be allowed to go there from Barcelona on Saturday?

Author of "Test Driven Development: By Example" @KentBeck explains why "no unit tests" approach worked perfectly fine for Facebook. A great example that deep understanding of an idea means not being dogmatic about it.

What will happen earlier: challenger banks reach many customers or incumbent banks reinvent themselves?
Last week showed us the direction where it was going. #N26 publicly launched in the US. #JPMorgan closed "Chase Pay" app. 1:0 in favor of challengers.

As #N26 aspires to build a global company, the second continent is a very important milestone. Thanks to everyone involved!
When do you think access to modern banking will become a basic human right, that is available to everyone in the world?

Interesting #security research.
1. An old trusted #bank doesn't mean it has a modern secure mobile app.
2. Most of the top 10 OWASP security issues is easy to prevent by just regularly updating your apps.
3. #N26USA launch os going to change this.

Not sure if Kotlin is better than ANY language, but it's hard to argue that "by the time Java becomes a really good language, you'll be dead. Loooong dead." Agree? Or do you still have trust in Java?

A leader must be an #extravert. True? A recent study has shown, that introverted CEOs leadership perform slightly better than extraverted counterparts.
If you are an introverted person, my #HubSpot colleague @natalykelly shares some useful tips.

@andreasklinger and @photomatt talk about #remotework from their top managers' perspective.
They share insights on a wide range of topics from hiring to managing the distributed workforce, that can be useful even for collocated managers. https://t.co/14xTeuYxNG
