I was pretty chuffed with adding these Slack notifications (via Goreleaser and go-semantic-release) for releases to #DependencyManagementData which flag when there are breaking changes in the release! Makes it much easier to see at a glance, especially as there's a lot of changes going into it 🤓

If you've been hearing me talking about #DependencyManagementData and are wondering about some real world scenarios it's been useful, check out the new Case Studies section on the site 👀
Also looking for more examples of where it's been useful!

Recently I've seen a few people comment on the air quality readings inside large art galleries; the results were far better than on trains, in planes and airports, in movie theatres and so on, due to the need for conservation of the artwork. It's just so strange thinking about how we apparently care more about protecting art than we do about protecting our own lives.

The secret to software engineering is to focus all of your energy as a team (and a company) on learning how to share information between each other better. Build that understanding. Build that ability to uplift and teach each other. For fuck's sake, stop worrying about over engineering and worry about under understanding the problem. The over engineering goes away the second you start putting humans first and start prioritizing understanding over an artificial roadmap built without context
