Big thanks to @iXmagazin and @OliverDiedrich for giving us such great placement in the 1/2024 issue! 🙏🏻

From 30 November to 1 December, it’s @SlushHQ time again. We’ll be in Helsinki, too.

There's tons of interesting talks on offer this year, like @sonalidr's session on going from startup to scale-up.

If you're at the conference, we'd love to meet you for a chat—see you there!

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

At Yatta we encourage our team to experiment and share their knowledge.📣

That's why our teammate Nicolas Langemann has published an article about using LLMs in software development projects on @heisedc.🎉

Have you tried using ChatGPT for software testing?

Our team lead & software engineer Nico has—and he wrote about it!

Check out his article on @heisedc here:

I went to San Francisco for the first time, met a bunch of awesome people & then got to write about it.

Life is good 🤓

I'm headed to San Francisco next week for #techcrunchdisrupt 2023. My first time in the US 😁

If you're in the Bay Area too, let's meet up for a chat!

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

Did you know that NBA legend @SHAQ is a tech geek?

He took a computer course in high school & his love for tech made him an early adopter—even investing in Google’s Series A in 1999!

And he’s a featured guest at TechCrunch Disrupt from 19-21 September in San Francisco.

It's #WeirdWordWednesday!

Have you ever had a gentle laugh at someone's expense, playfully teasing or mocking them?

In German, there's a humorous expression for that: "jemanden durch den Kakao ziehen." 🍫

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

It's #WeirdWordWednesday once again!

You know those quirky trinkets & decorative knick-knacks you've got around the house?

In English, there’s a delightful term for these often superfluous objects: "tchotchke."

[Chris Stewart @MrChrisNo1]

@IAmClintMurphy Let's go

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

It's #WeirdWordWednesday!

Today we're celebrating the glorious wonders of frankfurters, wieners & hot dogs🌭🌭🌭

Our teammate Steffen even made a special sausage breakfast for our Frankfurt team!

But where are hot dogs from?

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

It's #WeirdWordWednesday 🙌

Do you know the feeling where something works perfectly until you try to show it to someone else, and then it suddenly goes wrong or stops working?

In German, this is called the "Vorführeffekt," which translates literally as "demonstration effect."

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

#WeirdWordWednesday
Have you ever seen someone doing something so outrageous that it tops everyone else's actions?

In German, there's an idiom for that:

"Den Vogel abschießen."🐦🔫

In English, you might use it for something that "takes the cake" or "takes the biscuit" 🧁

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

It's #WeirdWordWednesday once again!

Have you ever wanted to wish someone good luck in an unconventional way? In German, there's a quirky expression for that: "Hals- und Beinbruch!"

It translates literally to "neck and leg break," but how is it used & where did it come from?

[Yatta @YattaSolutions]

Have you ever found yourself accidentally saying or doing something embarrassing or socially awkward?

In German, there's a fitting expression for that: "ins Fettnäpfchen treten".

That's right — it's #WeirdWordWednesday!
