Une page se tourne et c’est bien triste : en crise, la Fondation Mozilla met fin à toutes ses activités de militantisme en faveur notamment de la protection de la vie privée et de la décentralisation des services. https://t.co/LChBYxmHn5

Ok so I guess we're talking toothbrushes today 🦷

Ron Jeffries apologized for inventing Story Points.

He then went to call the whole idea of software estimation "evil."

Story points is the Emperor's New Clothes.

Everyone I've seen—and I mean everyone—uses points as a measure of time:

1 point = 2 hours
3 points = 1 day
5 points = 3 days
...

People knows this is what's happening, but nobody says anything. They just pretend they are being "agile."

What a cancer.

If your company forces you to participate in this charade, I'm sorry.

🌡 Time for a reminder that adding shade & vegetation 🌳 to urban environments helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively.

A super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.👇

After about 12 months of hacking, refactoring and migrating everything to @kotlin and Compose Multiplatform, I've finally got https://t.co/uUUjUG823h running on iOS.

There's a *lot* which is broken and needs to be fixed, but this app is 100% @kotlin 🤯

Please remind me how we are moving forward. In this video, a machine from the year ~2000 (600MHz, 128MB RAM, spinning-rust hard disk) running Windows NT 3.51. Note how incredibly snappy opening apps is. 👇

@alexstyl @CharfaouiYounes @Zhuinden @JorgeCastilloPr @FMuntenescu @Gio_Sastre @ppvi @AndroidDev @hitherejoe @anomisSi @manuelvicnt @crafty It's actually part of a wider philosophy about Composability of widgets.

You can never provide a single widget that does everything for everyone. That's how you get things like the 31,000+ line `https://t.co/f6XvKhCS58` file.

Instead, make widgets simple and easy to clone/fork.

I posted these Midjourney images on my IG Story. I got so many messages asking me where I was that I had to post a follow up explanation saying that actually no, I am at home. None of this is real.

Now that app-based authentication is far more common, let's talk about a major sin Google is doing:

They ONLY recommend using Google authenticator.

Google authenticator is one of the worst apps to use: you lose your phone, and you've lost your auth codes.

Use eg Authy instead.

If you have separate packages for dto, model, service, repository, controller, etc you're doing it wrong
