@united I have to say your app is the best across all airlines! A ton of useful information. Flew a lot of airlines but yours is at the top. Hope the service is equally good as I board my flight. :)

Feedback for you @TurkishAirlines. The cabin crew can smile a bit. That would take the service up a notch. ;)

Just returned from a work/vacay trip to India. I was impressed by both @omanair and @TurkishAirlines. The aircrafts, food, and service were pretty decent.

Thank you for the commendable service, @Delta ! Had a good flying experience this week on business trip across the country. Keep up the good work! Btw, the first officer did a terrific job landing the airbus aircraft for the first time! Kudos to him.

My 12 yo comes by and explains to me what pair programming is and why it is important. Probably he explained to better than I would have. Proud of him.

This approach from @intercom resonates so much with my thought process. We need to ship the products fast yet in a safe manner. Lowering the risk is key.

For a product company, time to market is crucial. Hence, we need to invest in high leverage activities. One such activity is automation. In the context of automation, I am liking products that automate building environments. Release, Quali, shipyard, kenv, reploy are few of them.
