Scrum is really useful for exploration and innovation work, things that may not even involve programming. In general I think sticking to Scrum for Software Engineering is overkill, or maybe the 2 week sprints are too short. I've had mu

Microservices are more an organisational thing than a recommended pattern, when a project grows and wants to hire more staff to increase its bandwidth then microservices are a great way to support that, the additional benefit is that they w

I don't see why getting support tickets is a problem, surely you triage and prioritize them anyway, and if fixing that problem is for a small percentage of customers then it's not going to be a high priority. I think it's unr

I would not choose any framework, instead creating my own and if possible a component library to support it. Having good standards to create your CSS (naming conventions and file structure (ITSS) is fundamental, but in the end you will have

Nice article, I think it's interesting using Gnome as the foundation for a more customised DE, POP OS has brought some really nice features. As an aside, I really like these UI/UX videos, can anyone shed any light on how they are

Learn to use the OS as intended, don't try and wrangle it to your way of working it will always be an uphill struggle and soon an update will make it harder or impossible to continue working that way. I was a long time Windows user, bu

You can now run GFN in the browser on Linux (It might need Chrom(e/ium)). The downside is that if you have a non 16:9 resolution you will have to change your desktop resolution to support fullscreen with black borders, otherwise the co

I'm also not a fan of cosmetics because they make the games harder to play, when the silhouettes of characters change it becomes a nightmare. Not to mention that they break immersion in the game too, Call of Duty Modern Warfare started

The world just isn't black and white is it. Epic could certainly be described as anti-linux, for the reasons you've described. On the other hand they have invested quite a bit into open source cross platform projects Godot being a

I think we've become so addicted to smartphones because they are new and shiny, quite a leap from technology we knew over the last 20/30/40 years. Children born with smartphones around see them as ordinary and probably less a
