Hi,
Is Scrum democratic?
This question keeps coming up.
Time and time again, I find myself in teams where this question becomes the focal point.
The keyword that often comes up is “self-organized team.”
Undoubtedly: The team organizes its work on its own.
The Product Owner decides which tasks are to be tackled and in which order.
And he is a part of the team.
Hi,
“After importing, we unpack the file and read the meta-information.”
“And where do we write it?”
“This information is stored in different databases. The path information is distributed across all service databases so that they know how to access the files. Other data is stored in the system database and in each tenant database.”
Does that sound normal to you?
It shouldn’t.
“But Marcus, why is that so bad? We just need the information in different places.”
Hi,
Today, I gave a presentation titled “Pragmatic Programming with Kotlin” at KKON.
It was once again a great pleasure. And because the RabbitMQ Summit is coming up this Friday, followed by the W-JAX in two weeks, I really didn’t feel like creating more slides.
So, I opted for live coding.
That way, I’m certainly faster in preparation (tm).
But aside from my laziness, there was another reason why I chose to do this.
Hi,
Time flies, and the past weeks have been especially busy for me. Here’s a brief overview of what’s been on my plate:
We all know it: Periods of intense work need to be balanced with times of relaxation.
Last week, I took such a break, spending it with my family at a children’s hotel in Austria.
Even though I had my computer with me, it remained switched off – except for a brief moment due to tax reasons. This break was not only refreshing but also inspiring.
Hi,
Currently, I am practicing calligraphy. My handwriting has always been purely “functional.” Every day, I write out all the letters of the alphabet, focusing on the quality of each stroke.
Five years ago, I practiced touch-typing. Every day for 10 minutes on https://www.keybr.com/ .
Seven years ago, I banished my mouse within the IDE. I had to learn how to operate everything using the keyboard alone.
And ten years ago, I focused on the Shell. I performed all operations on my system there.
