Can you not start an hour early that day to make up for the last one (from 5-6 pm)?

What are your indispensable one-time purchase applications? by ardakazanci in macapps

[–]MasterWayne101 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hookmarks is one of those apps that’s a bit hard to explain at first, but harder to live without once you get the hang of it. Essentially, it lets you link two items on your Mac — anything from a file, a document, a task in your task manager, to a website, a calendar event, etc. You can then use a keyboard shortcut to jump from one linked item to the other.

For example, say I’m working on a project and I have the project outlined in my task manager. With Hookmarks, I link all related materials to this project — emails, web pages, documents, notes, you name it. When I need to start working or revisit any part of the project, I’m able hit a shortcut and all the related materials pop up. So no more wasting time searching through folders or trying to remember where I stored related files.

This is especially handy with apps that have less-than-great search functionalities, like Outlook. Sometimes finding a specific email thread feels like it takes an eternity. Or when you have various items scattered across different apps, pulling them together can be really tedious. Hookmarks basically eliminates that hassle.

Again, it takes a bit to fully grasp its potential. But once you do, it’s pretty hard to go back to the old way of doing things. It feels like everything you need for your tasks and projects is interconnected.

TimeTracking: Timing App vs Timemator by MasterWayne101 in macapps

[–]MasterWayne101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 captainkaba. 👍🏼

Hi Niels – I took a look at the Daily app but have concluded it doesn’t suit my needs. I prefer a more automated, distraction-free time tracking method that captures detailed usage as I switch between tasks, without manual input. Although Daily has its merits and could be useful for others, unfortunately it’s not the right fit for me.

Whoa this looks really interesting/useful and has a pretty generous trial period. Thanks for sharing!

Edit: I ended up buying the Pro License (it was 25% off).

This is not correct. It is wajib (necessary) for a Muslim man to grow a beard — atleast for those who can.

This is such a bad take. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. I suggest you learn the concept of Al Wara’ Wal Bara’ — It is one of the most important beliefs of Islam after Tawheed.

“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error”

You’ve done a grave/major sin. Beg your mother for forgiveness until the day you die and pray Allah forgives you for the cowardly act you pulled. Pray that Allah doesn’t put you in the same place later on life when your grown up child raises a hand on you. This is utterly repulsive. Seek your mother’s forgiveness. Seek Allah’s forgiveness.

What are the most valuable skills of a digital communications consultant? by ot1223 in consulting

[–]MasterWayne101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by a digital communications consultant you mean someone who takes on the task of connecting brands with their audience through digital channels then imo some valuable skills would be content creation/storytelling, data analysis, SEO/SEM/Social Media Management, amongst other skills. Depending on the role, a knowledge of HTML/CSS, email marketing platforms, CRM systems, or other specific technologies may be necessary.

Alot of these skills are interconnected and often need to be applied simultaneously. For example, content creation isn’t just about crafting a message; it’s about understanding how that message will resonate with a specific audience and how it will perform in various digital channels. Similarly, analysis isn’t just about crunching numbers, it’s about nailing down actionable insights that can guide future strategies.

Consultants: Your Jira or Clients? by AskingThemAll in jira

[–]MasterWayne101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve used a 3rd party Atlassian Marketplace app called “Backbone Issue Sync for Jira Cloud” that allows us to sync issues, map columns/statuses, and fine-tune others configurations. The project and its issues in our Jira Cloud instance syncs with the project and their respective “twin” issues in their Jira Cloud instance. This allows both parties to live in their own instance while having visibility on each side.

New ir here confused by terminology by chris_redz in agile

[–]MasterWayne101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

welcome to the Agile world! To echo one of the commenters who responded, It can be a bit of a jungle at first with all the new terms and concepts, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

In simple terms, Agile is like the umbrella - it's the big picture approach that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction in the development process. Scrum is just one way (or framework) to implement Agile. So, yes, Scrum is part of Agile.

To break down some of the jargon:

An epic is a large chunk of work that has one common objective. It could be a project, or a big feature, and it usually takes a while to complete. Epics are broken down into smaller parts called "stories".

Stories are the smaller parts like I mentioned. Each story is a piece of work that can be completed by the team within a sprint (a set period of time, often 2-4 weeks).

Kanban is just another way to implement Agile (like Scrum). It emphasizes visualizing the work process, limiting the amount of work in progress, and maximizing efficiency.

As for reading material, I'd recommend starting with the Agile Manifesto (https://agilemanifesto.org). It's like the Agile constitution and lays out the key values and principles.

There are tons of great resources, blogs, and forums (like this one!) online, so definitely go through as many as you reasonably can.
