@HellenicOlympic @ertofficial_ @PRESEGAS Διόρθωση! Ο ιπτάμενος έφτασε στα 8,52 και όχι 8,25. 27 πόντοι είναι σημαντική διαφορά. 😁

Aυτό το άλμα στα 8.25 έδωσε στον Ολυμπιονίκη μας Μίλτο Τεντόγλου την πρόκριση στον τελικό του μήκους, στο Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα στίβου. Το βράδυ της Πέμπτης απογειώνεται για το🥇 Καλή επιτυχία Μίλτο #TeamHellas #Tentoglou 🎥 @ertofficial_ @PRESEGAS

@davidfowl You could take a look at @Bitwarden which seems to be OSS and seems to be based on dotnet.

I finally ejected from LastPass to 1Password.

@GergelyOrosz Thank you for that, it was getting very heavy lately.

Today and this week was full of bad news in tech: layoffs, hiring freezes. I'm tired of it. I asked readers to send me 'good scoop.' The good things happening that get no reporting, but should. Here's some good news that made it into today's newsletter, from Ivan, from Ireland:

@davidfowl 1 because it reads like a sentence in your mind

Which style do you prefer and why? #dotnet #aspnetcore #minimalapis

@golang Funny, generics exist for some time now and I still have not used them. I have only one use case in mind that might fit the bill.

generics

@marcgravell Do not buy if you not try. Best option is to get one with a good return policy.

Code geeks: I'm thinking of refreshing my home-office chair after a decade; what's decent these days?

As a tech lead or eng manager, you so frequently get request from above or from other teams to drop what you are doing and work on this thing they need, *now*. During my 4 years at Uber after asking these questions, 9 out of 10 times it turned out it wasn't really urgent:

@vasiliki88 Μόλις τις καταστρέψατε με την δημόσια προβολή... 🤣

Ποια πιστεύετε πως είναι η πιο όμορφη παραλία στην Ελλάδα??? Εγώ το βουτούμι στους Αντίπαξους.

@GergelyOrosz I could not agree more.

When a manager raises that their team has attrition problems/risks to their director, said directors often only assume the risk is that individual contributors leave. If we're talking about a manager who cares about people: they are also a flight risk if things won't improve.

@buritica On the other side how can you make progress/innovation if you do not try? Has someone here never tried out things throughout his career? I had my share of failures but I believe i learned valuable lessons.

@rhein_wein The more funnier part is that some managers were developers before. Some might even still be given that hands on manager is a thing. This is what bridges the gap best: hands on managers

165 managers & developers responded to these questions. ➡️ How do you define productivity? ➡️ (for devs) How do you think your manager defines productivity? ➡️ (for managers) How do you think your team defines productivity? The results? Unexpected.

We've all heard about (and rolled our eyes at) the out-of-touch software engineering manager: "Can we deliver faster by adding more people?" "I want to see more PR activity." But here's an interesting study on the definitions of productivity from managers and developers:

@kelseyhightower One example is docker-compose. Setting up a local environment is easy for develipment and the same env is used in CI for testing.
