China's population could halve by 2100, but they're not alone! Many rich countries are shrinking too. This might mean less growth for Poland's economy in the next decade than the boom we've seen since 2000. 🇵🇱 #FuturePlanning #PopulationShift #Poland

Wczoraj pisaliśmy o raportowanym przez @EU_Eurostat dużym spadku populacji 🇵🇱 w 2023, a dziś mamy projekcję 🇺🇳, według której ludność Polski do 2100 roku skurczy się do ok. 19mln osób. Utrzymująca się niska dzietność (1,16 w 2023) utrwala negatywne trendy demograficzne.

🚀 As a software developer, my favorite part of the job? Writing tests! ✅ They ensure everything works smoothly and save me from countless headaches. Here’s why tests are game-changers:

Catch bugs early 🐞
Cover thousands of use cases 🔄
Save time ⏳
Boost confidence 💪
Prevent disasters 🚫

Imagine being a 19th-century scientist building bridges without tests! They’d collapse, and I'd be in big trouble 😅 Grateful for modern tech! #SoftwareDevelopment #Testing #DeveloperLife

My music discovery of the week: Yamê (Emmanuel Sow), a French singer, creates music that blends traditional French chanson with contemporary pop and electronic elements. His sound is characterized by emotive vocals, poetic lyrics, and a modern production style that often incorporates rhythmic beats and atmospheric synths, offering a fresh take on classic French musical traditions.

Personal fav songs: Ayo Mba, Bahwai, Bécane.

His stage name "Yamê" is from a language in Mbo which means "The Verb".

The Unexpected Silence. Tried gathering feedback for new Watermarkly features last week. No obvious gaps, so I went proactive:
✅ Set up a @cannyHQ voting form
✅ Added "Suggest a Feature" in-app
✅ Prominently displayed for some users
Results? 📊
✅ Spam (expected 🤷‍♂️)
✅ Poetry (unexpected, but cool 📝)
✅ Praise (always welcome 🙏)
❌ Zero new feature ideas or product suggestions.
Question for #ProductManagement pros: How do you effectively collect user feedback when your product seems to be feature-complete? 🧠💡

@GergelyOrosz Twitter still allows users to see a) feed of people they subscribed to and b) in chronological order. Not just a random feed of AI-generates stuff Facebook presents.

@CaseyMericle From your experience how long should one wait before reducing the price when selling and when renting?

[Ivan Nikitin @chebum]

@mwmoedinger Yet, a lot of people seem to accept such offerings. I see many blogs filled with words holding no sense or ideas. 🤔

While I use chatbots for grammar checks, I'm hesitant to ask AI bots questions or request summaries because they too often misinterpret facts and aren't able to provide links to sources I can use to verify the information.

Tip: Should you need to correct text, ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude: "Please proofread and correct the text below. Output only the corrected text." The output they provide is surprisingly good.

Should you want to translate a string to multiple languages, ask "Please translate to Russian, Spanish, German, French, Polish, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese and Turkish. Output only the translation as a list of comma separated strings, please."

@AlexEdgerton @JulieChangRE at least you don't have to worry about mowing the lawn;)

[Ivan Nikitin @chebum]

@JulieChangRE Oops. At least the weather is better;)

🌩️ Thunderstorm in Warsaw! My daughter asked about unplugging electronics.
Modern buildings: Low risk, surge protection. Old electronics: Higher risk (voltage-specific). New devices: Safe! Switch mode power supplies adapt.
Fun fact: Laptop chargers work globally (120V-240V).
