People, if you’ve never heard of https://taiga.io .. it’s essentially the „anti“ Jira, it’s open source, built for truly agile workflows, and seldom have I been as happy to use software for tracking development progress.
If your company ever is considering an alternative .. make it this one.
@moritzheiber reminds me of an article…
Not sure which, maybe:

or this one:

@WAHa_06x36 I think literally the only thing that keeps me from using Toot! a lot more now is the “Doesn’t scroll to the top when I want it to”.. any leads on this one? Anything I can do to help?
The new shorts I bought yesterday don’t have backpockets (which I didn’t realize until today, when I tried using them; they _look_ like real pockets from the outside, but they aren’t) and I feel betrayed.
This is probably what women feel when they buy/wear any dress.
I’m so sorry 😐
#amreading is the greatest hashtag ever
gargron told me if this post gets ten thousand boosts he'll give me the website and i will become the new gargron
I rewrote my provisioning instructions for my laptop using mruby/mitamae and boy, it's been a straight out pleasure: https://github.com/moritzheiber/laptop-provisioning
I also wrote four new plugins in the process:

Finally getting rid of Ansible feels so good, it's been nothing but pain ever since I touched it for the first time #devops
http://bugseverywhere.org/ - a distributed (via git) bug tracker. Definitely interesting, and a nice way to avoid centralization on Github.
Not sure I always want to tie code & bug state together though, or need to commit to change it. Anybody tried this, or something similar?
This is a disgrace, but it doesn't surprise me at all considering Oracle is VirtualBox's vendor now: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11577 😞
It’s that time again! Releasing another new beta of my iOS client, "Toot!". It is getting closer to fully functional! From here on I will be focusing more on filling in the small bits of missing functionality and bugfixing, rather than adding new big features, to try to push towards 1.0. If you are already a tester, you should get a notification soon. If you are not, but want to be, message me here or on paracelsus@gmail.com and give me an Apple ID email!
I’m beating myself up over how I did not discover mruby earlier.. this is fantastic

TFW you accidentally load Twitter without uBlock Origin enabled and notice just what a horribly ad-polluted garbage experience it is for most users.
You know, maybe it’s not Slack being “broken” or unavailable but rather your collaboration model that needs refinement.. there are plenty of usable alternatives available.

"Excuse me, do you know how to get to the conference?"
"Just follow the trail of hunched, white men"
Oh Amsterdam, I ❤️ you.
Also: That's an exceptional way of giving directions, specifically for Amsterdam, because I've had yet to see a trail of hunched, white men while I was here.
Co-ops, democratically run and emphasizing long-term sustainability over short-term profits, are a key part of the #SolidarityEconomy.
Earlier this month, Wired UK published a brief but interesting profile of "CoTech, a growing network of tech co-operatives in the UK. There are currently 30 tech businesses united under the CoTech banner, which range from filmmakers to programmers; they collectively employ more than 250 staff and have revenues of over £10.2 million."
