We recently reached the size of 14 people in Development, and our goal is to get to 16 developers/designers in the next couple of months. An interesting question we faced and discussed in this context is that of “optimal team size”. In the past year we’ve typically worked in teams of three or four, but […]
A new digital coin has been introduced in Hull to reward people who volunteer for things. Due to regulations the receiver can cash in their coin in the form of a discount when purchasing products at certain stores.
I listen to a lot of podcasts (probably 500+ a year) and one I make an extra effort to listen to every episode is 99% Invisible . It is “about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.”
This is a great article about a small business that is growing rapidly and run with a smile on their faces. John and his dad started a business to sell crazy, fun socks and it has gone from strength to strength. I also like the 5% of sales to the Special Olympics and the socks for charities (watch the video).

Yesterday I had a conversation with a designer who made a career change to become a real-estate sales person.  yep – you heard well.  From panda-hat pencil-in-hand graphic artist and logo designer, he went to sell cinderblocks lots…  What happened? well, unsurprisingly – he got sick of clients – he got tired of not getting paid – and he got tired of having the very people who hired him for a job starting to tell him how he should do his job..

Mondays don’t have to suck but sometime they do… which I guess is fine and was to be expected. Yet – when you didn’t sleep overnight and still have to break your head over tons of things… some days are just not easy. The secret – is to zoom out. When I manage to zoom out on the scale of a decade – then the fact the tramway was late or that I couldnt get a coffee in the morning, or this bug in the code is become such a tiny ridicule element ..

Derek Sivers highlights an interesting pricing approach in this article . He was asked to perform at a distant location. When the customer couldn’t afford the price they suggested reducing the performance time, hoping to reduce the price. Instead of doing the expected he raised his price. His reason was that they were paying for him to get to the location and then do the work where the work was the fun bit. By reducing the time on the fun ..

PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are an extremely hot topic right now, and Codename One apps are very well suited to being deployed this way. In case you haven’t been following the PWA buzz, the idea is that it’s a web app that behaves like a native app. When they are first loaded in a user’s browser, they behave like a normal responsive web app, but users can install them to their home screen just like native apps. At which point, they can beha..

The Matrix series of movies can be confusing to understand what is going on, no longer with a random interpretation of the events!
The ideas of agile are great. It’s the way it has been codified into rituals and certifications and rolled out mindlessly that misses the point. When people talk about Lean, the conversation often ends at process optimization, waste, and quality, and misses so much of what the Lean mindset offers. Design Thinking is held high as the new magic trick of design facilitators.

I am very good at starting things. It wasn’t always true – I used to waste a lot of time to ponder and get to work – now in the past decade I think I have brought my capacity to set up a new project to a real good level – and kickstarting things into motions. Now – I need to move to the next level – which is perfecting the finish.

This details the steps required to unmount and resize an ext3 formatted logical volume (LVM) on Linux. The steps listed are performed on Debian, but should be more or less the same for any distro. The basic approach is more or less the same for any filesystem, though some of the tools used for resizing may vary Read more…

Apple introduced automated UI testing in Xcode 7. This was a great addition for developers because this native support promised, among other things, an improvement in the flakiness notoriously associated with automation tests. As many of us developers have experienced, tests can sometimes fail even when there has been no modification to the test or underlying feature code.

Lately I was experimenting with GTK and its Ruby bindings and I decided to write a tutorial introducing this functionality. In this post we are going to create a simple ToDo application (something like what we created here with Ruby on Rails) using the gtk3 gem a.k.a. the GTK+ Ruby bindings. Note: The code of the tutorial is available at GitHub . What is GTK+ Quoting the toolkit’s page : GTK+, or the GIMP Toolkit, is a multi-p....

At Localytics, data is central to our mission. One of our core principles is to "lead with data." When I envision that, I often think of an analyst using graphs to make a case for a business decision, or a principal engineer using benchmarks to advocate for a
Originally appeared on Opsgenie Engineering Blog We have been using AWS Lambda for over two years at OpsGenie. Our primary programming language for our Lambda functions is Java. Although Java tends to use more memory compared to other languages such as Node.js and Python, we still allocate more memory than we need for our functions. There are two primary reasons. Sometimes depending on the traffic, there can be unexpected spikes in usage.
The best solution for known vulnerabilities is to upgrade your software. But sometimes there’s not a security update immediately available. The next best solution is to patch your software. In this post, we go through four ways to find security patches for open source software.
