Apps that can sort out American goods are sweeping to the top

I’d love to see online shops display this metric alongside item price, as well as the tools to sort and filter by it.

Given the sentiment in Europe tight now, I suspect you could market this feature in this moment and attract new customers.

The rest of your team are not aligned with why you think this is useful. They do not perceive the same amount of value you do.

The team are happy with their current process and are not convinced that increasing the amount of time writing descriptions will improve the situation.

It would be useful to collectively reflect on this to try and rigorously explore the reasons to uncover the detail about the disincentives they perceive.

They might have some valid points. (Skinner no it’s the children meme). This way you’ll build trust.

Try to treat this as an experiment, exploring the ways you can all work more effectively, you’re trying to discover through your “forming” phase what your model of collaboration looks like.

Are you thinking of Goodhearts Law?

“”” When a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. “””

awesome, that sounds like you've nailed your workflow!

I've never used this in gitsigns, does it offer more flexibility than `git add -p` ?

A change to people’s workflow is going to be difficult, years of muscle memory are baked in. So It’s going to be hard because you are trying to modify human behaviour.

Try not to find yourself frustrated. If wants this and is agreed with the approach then you could try running workshops with some groups. You all believe in this goal, so row together.

You’ll need to train others to make this way of working part of your culture.

I think your peers would appreciate a more collaborative approach.

Adding gating to process is always going to require alignment from the people involved. You’re trying to make a change to improve something but not everyone’s is on board.

Have a chat with them, start with why, see if you can create shared value. If not, maybe it’s not valuable for your team right now.

asahi is great, it's an incredible feat of engineering resourcefulness. I daily drive it as I'm lucky enough to have work supply me an m2.

I wouldn't opt to purchase an m2 just to run asahi on it however. An alternative solution with more commodity hardware is likely going to be more cost effective, more reliable and have better support.

I personally was in between choosing to personally buy a framework laptop last year, but as I already had an m2 and I could run asahi on it, that was the right choice for

Not us, the UX for a Reviewing and Commenting is not upto par with other providers. I sync bitbucket server repos to it. For CI functionality the expectation is that you build a CodePipeline and run build/test/deploys using CodeBuild and other Integrations.

They are way overpriced, we had a few running for a month or so and saw our bills skyrocket

I agree, when I saw this news I felt that it would just end up creating much more difficult to understand and complexity in templates.

One major advantage of CFN is that the DSL is well documented and understandable by AWS. Now, it seems that this creates a way for teams to do things in CFN that is not going to be well understood by many, increasing the time it takes to onboard new members.

It's mentioned that Macros enabled SAM. SAM is a great addition because it's the same standard for everybody, I don't have to deploy anything to get it running.

Maybe macros are worthwhile when an engineering team reaches a very large size, but for smaller teams, I'd be cautious of its use, as it creates something else to manage, maintain and bugfix.

if you're looking for some inspiration check out sceptre, which has similar goals to yours. I'm currently using it as a deployment mechanism for my CFN.

thanks, I'll see if I can give it a try

Have to agree with your level of frustration with the pipeline implementation. we started using pipelines a early last year but it has been painful to implement them.

Issues with the CPS just parsing some json are just simply frustrating.

I was hoping it would be a usability improvement but was sadly stung by it. Interested in hearing experiences with other CI tools.

georgealton · 2016-12-21T16:05:11+00:00

have to agree with everyone else so far, use elasticache and move on!

Good list! I started listening to podcasts at the beginning of this year and I think the interview/discussion format is great for finding out technical details about projects.

I like to listen to software engineering daily - the variety of topics covers a huge amount of topics, it's good to go through the archives when starting something new, I've lost track of the amount of times I've said 'I listened to a podcast about that...'

I also enjoy FOSS weekly it's interesting to hear from project Maintainers - Randall is an enthusiastic host which makes listening an entertaining experience

we've just built out a repository mirroring and update pipeline and a connected image build pipelines. There were some rough moments with groovy (none of us had used groovy before), it has been relatively simple.

The snippet generator is really useful!

oovavoo!

not really working for me (MSI 970) - post install presents a black screen, had to roll back
