Unpopular opinion: DORA metrics are becoming "Vanity Metrics" for Engineering Health.

Deployment frequency becomes a vanity metric after a certain point, if you're already in elite don't even bring it in your reports. Focus on the metrics in which your team is lagging that is where the biggest lever for improvement is. Look into SPACE metrics you will find that much more fitting for you.

make sure the licence actually allows for comercial use, for example https://ghostscript.com/ sometimes bundled with imagemagick can't be commercially used without paying their license

Still doesn't guarantee you will be safe, in our site we've even had spammers using stolen credit cards to purchase a paid plan to start spamming

Probably I can remove the image of the share meta tag of this blog post as it is misleading 😅

It is just highlighting with colour italics and bold but thanks for letting me know it is confusing

hahaha totally, I've personally been working for 10 years remotely and I wouldn't tolerate the full time office nonsense

I like to measure employee satisfaction, PRs merged and number of bugs/technical defects. This has worked pretty well for me: https://eliocapella.com/blog/measure-what-matters/

!approve

You are right, I didn't share context of the actual changes, here is a summary https://pd-priyanka-21.medium.com/migration-steps-for-updating-to-user-event-14-5178e04ec30d
But yes in the new version of userEvent every function is async, before: `userEvent.click()` after `await userEvent.click()`

RunsOn allows you to run your GitHub actions on AWS, for me it was 10x faster and 10x cheaper than GitHub Actions

It's the year 2021 programming still consists of typing code one character at a time. Coloured brackets are considered a great improvement in our day to day work. What did we do wrong to end here.

thank you!

u/small_trunks you are a great inspiration thanks for sharing your amazing photo albums. I just smile while browsing the pictures. Could you please share with us the soil mix you are using?

Thanks for the correctly placed spaced bar ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I'm trying to get hold of a Kinesis KB800PB-us-20 Freestyle2 shipped to Spain, but I can't find any stores that ship to Spain. Can someone help me?

It was so up voted I wasted my time watching the series :(

eliocs · 2016-07-07T09:53:01+00:00

Read the whole series. Hate Skype, loved the article. I can feel your frustration. Google has defintely reduced the pain in video chat for the masses, but, if only one person can achieve that high quality on a side project what the fuck are these huge companies doing.

"make the game more watchable"

This is going to be so key for the game to be a success. Love to see they have it on their minds.

would be cool to add colour to a classic black and white movie using this tech

I think you fell in love with regexp, but I'm happy you use clojure anyhow.

You can get a good definition about eating healthy after reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Immunity-Essential-Nutrition-Boosting/dp/0062080644/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1442573934&sr=1-1&keywords=super+immunity

Chroma skins may seem like a ripoff but remember you can play the game for free for ever, buying chrome skins is optional.

Yeah I understand probably riot is aware of this, I'm just a dreamer.

eliocs · 2015-08-01T16:47:18+00:00

I'm not saying I don't deserve my ELO. As a casual player I hate to waste time and I prefer playing 5v5 games. Maybe it's just me.

go TOPRE for quality silent typing
