@dominiccampbell I didn’t realise you couldn’t get mini eggs and creme eggs in the US or it probably doesn’t taste as good as the U.K. ones

@Jottblum @TPXimpact @IdeasImpossible @_jesslee_ @dominiccampbell Very exciting! 🙌

@YinLingjing @des_cho @WhichUK Colour on our Samsung isn’t as nice as Sony Bravia TVs…a bit too saturated but happy with so far

[jen @jennythai]

@YinLingjing @des_cho @WhichUK I have had bad experience with Sony - great colour, bad UI, bad remote and had to return twice because of screen/OS issues. Have a Samsung now and I think UX is better and comes with a 2nd remote for just smart tv functions which is what we mainly use for

In it Naming of patterns (services/service patterns) are key as they provide a clear and common vocabulary that can be shared as well.
