As a long-time Thoughtworker, I have had the privilege of working on many projects and with a diverse set of teams. Moving from one team to the next helped me observe and learn how to co-exist and thrive in several (interesting) groups of technologists! I have broken down my experience into 8 tips to follow when joining a new team. While most of these suggestions are from a consultant’s perspective and are within the context of moving betwe..

A quick intro In this article, we will delve into the specifics of turning a running WordPress Multisite in production into a well organised, development-ready, version control, dev/staging environnment, as well as the deployment process (not automatic for now). Context Recently, I had to create a local/staging/production environnement for a rather large WordPress Multisite instance. The process was not that obvious at first so I created do..

Leo Babuta of Zen Habits wrote about a great way to combat overthinking the other day: just make the best decision you can now, given limited information and time to make it. Many will scoff at this idea, for making important choices in particular, but I disagree: I like his approach a lot, because it has worked well for me for almost everything. Permalink.

Digital design has an immediate, enormously scalable impact that is often difficult to reverse. It’s even more worrying when UX, front-end and service designers and developers are unaware of this influence and all the associated responsibilities. Lead Experience Designer Henning Fritzenwalder and Product Strategist Alexander Steinhart talk about the negative developments that can appear with the tech hype and how designers can react to them..

Storing application secrets in serverless applications is a hot topic that provokes many (often contradictory) opinions on how to manage them right.

I threw together a web scraper the other day for a project at work. Since web scraping is easy, I had extra time, and I needed to poll a few hundred pages from a single domain often, I rotate through a pool of user agent strings and randomize my request pattern to make it less likely that the server will block me. Hacker News once blocked me after I did not take precautions like these , so I made sure to avoid that this time around. Pier..

During our later stay in Bilbao, at the tail end of our roadtrip around Spain, we stayed at Victor’s , a really nice local from Bilbao. He was happy to give us guidance around the city and was quick to say that there are only two things you do in Bilbao; enjoy art and food. These are some of the places he recommended and why: Txukrut: A vegan pintxos place

A friend of mine found himself working for a school in the mid 1990s, deploying a new lab of Apple Mac computers designed to teach graphic design. Before the deployment, he went to the technology decision-makers and told them that they could build a much faster lab for half the cost, since their Adobe software can also run on PC. He also noted that Macs play well with other proprietary Apple stuff, whereas PCs played well with most technolo..

I started with a simple question : Why does Europe have ultra efficient diesel vehicles, but America does not? I had heard the claims, that some European diesels get up to 80 miles per gallon — yet those in North America eek 50. I had a hunch, that stringent EPA rules forced auto makers to sell second-rate vehicles in the United States , but I had to know for sure. Permalink.

Joe Jackson has some good tips for better camp kitchens. I like to keep everything for cooking, eating, and cleaning in one container, packed at all times. I keep a second one empty for dry goods. This makes trip prep a breeze: I just load the first tote in my car, then fill up the second tote and my cooler in the grocery store’s parking lot on my way out of town. Along with two dining tables , two water jugs , and my storage system , th..
