  • Yes, absolutely.

    Despite the inclusion of Israel (which is hated by fans, presenters and other artists, so everyone except the organization itself), it still feels like a festival of art and inclusitivity (is that the right word?).

    And I love it. Still have the PED (Post Euro Depression) today. It’s so much fun following these artists all week and I’m in an empty space now.



  • As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.

    You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).



  • Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

    • I’ll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under “tech debt”
    • please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you’re ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
    • I’d like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
    • Also I won’t touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it “fast” per your request and it’s so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
    • I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
    • It’s not “fun” to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you’ll end up with the bad ones.
    • Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours









  • I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

    I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

    I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

    I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.
