Nice! In the MapMaker (https://mapmaker.maptoolkit.org/) you can upload an image and it will create a color scheme derived from that image and style the map accordingly.

So you can try to upload your Logo to have a map matching your color scheme :-)

This reminds me of Nico Alm who was wearing a colander as hat on his picture of his passport. He argued that religious hats are allowed and he is a pastafari :-)

Causes for increasing work in progress in software projects. Collected by almost a hundred senior software engineers.

This looks really nice!

I tried it with mine: https://gitdiagram.com/getsentry/sentry-python

A view things:

There are way more integrations in the integration layer, so maybe they should be either shown or a "..." somewhere should tell people that there is more.

The "Hub" is deprecated so it would be cool, that this fact is shown somewhere.

Otherwise really cool!

This is just amazing! Really like the result, and also the other personal projects on the site!

None or username/pwd

No app will prevent you giving the driver some cash..

And the really messed up thing is that there are individuals on this planet who could afford this...

I use https://lorizzle.nl since forever ;-)

Snoop Dogg style lorem ipsum texts.

Thanks for all the comments! Really cool!

I also got links to https://www.stuffle.com and https://www.circle-hand.com/ via the blog.

Some services mentioned really look promising, yet none offers the convenience that I would love (not thinking about anything) but I guess I will try some of the mentioned services!

I once thought about a plastic spoon. You need to dig up stuff from the ground use losts of chemistry knowledge to make it into plastic, have machines to bring it into this great form that is very thind and delicate hence stable. Then you need someone to bag lots of them up and put into boxes and ship halfway around the world to bring them into a shop so one can buy them.

And because this spoon costs next to nothing all this is considered less valuable then using a reusable spoon and wash it after usage.

If you think about it, this feels just crazy.

Oh and i have a paper notebook where i sometimes sit in a coffeeshop and just do thinking by writing in the notebook. Thinking about the side project and its future. After the session i update the list of things to do.

For my side project i have a simple text note in a web notes app.

In that note i have a list of around 10 things i should do next, ordered by priority.

That's it. Either i work on one of the ten items or i do not. Only when i finish some items i add new ones. (Of course i also sometimes just reorder or delete stuff from the list.)

There are weeks where i do nothing and in those weeks i do not waste time with "busy work" but just look at the list from time to time and see that i am not motivated to work on the important stuff so i do not work on it at all.

Don't know what EDC means. But my backpack for commuting has almost always: - bike lights (it gets dark early in winters) - rain pants than can we wore over normal pants (in case it rains) - some coins - some Bonbons that are good for the throat - still a COVID mask (too lazy to throw it away) - a roller pen - strangely I found a patch fo a fever blisters and a anti head ache pill - a adapter from micro USB to USB so I can connect my yubikey to my phone. Turns out the microusb is so mangled already that it is only good for charging and not for data transfer so the yubikey does not work with the phone. Also ok. - a small plastic bag (in case I come somewhere nice where garbage is lying around or where wild berries are found (or people selling berries or mushrooms on the side of the road) - on weekdays a work notebook and headphones

My Smartphone still has a replaceable battery :-)

I also use feedly and love it. It is basically my startpage to the web. It also replaces all social media news feeds for me.

"prototyping quickly" and "quick rampup" are for me a bit contradictory to "weak typing is a deal breaker". If I do not have to define types for everything, I am WAY faster with my prototypes.

Also given that it is frontend land, I am not sure any of the tools now available will be available (and compatible) in 10 years. And because it is a side project I would not spend one second worrying about 10 years from now.

HN will not tell you what you will like. Every now and then a question like this is asked and people just tell OP the tools they currently use.

I guess it would be best to create a mini app (reading a list of things from a backend and render it and maybe delete something from the list) in two or three frontend frameworks and then choose the one that felt the nicest for you.

As for design I guess Tailwind CSS is something for you. It is easy to make web sites that look nice. (All tailwind CSS sites look kind of the same, but this is OK)

Good luck with you project!

Because there are a lot of incompetent engineers that think they need to reinvent the wheel because they are not able to use (yet improve) existing tooling.

I am just flabbergasted that anyone would think of this process to change a battery as "ok". I mean batteries have a pretty short life time. And iPhones are really expensive. A LOT of resources are used to build an iPhone. And then this process for changing the battery.

The product, the battery changing process, the whole company, everything feels like it is the 1980s, it feels like a tech dinosaur.

If this is the way that most people think that things should work in 2022, than we are all doomed.

Sorry, but this makes me so sad... It is unbelievable...

I use the normal Ubuntu distribution for about 15 years now. Nothing else. I had not to change any config files in forever and every device i owned worked out of the box. So shrug

The Olympics are the same. You (and the world around you) changed.

I live in Austria and we do not have people living in tents on the sidewalk anywhere. (But we have some homeless people)

Part of this is probably due to the fact that I pay 48% of everything I earn in taxes and I am totally fine with it!

I can be a fresh set of eyes for your team or a sparring partner for the CTO. I also can be your CTO until you find one.

Project based preferred.

Very experiences software engineer. I can build/maintain/refactor "stuff", manage teams or mentor juniors.

"stuff" can be: code, features, CI/CD pipelines, test environments and other "stuff".

What helped me:

At the end of the work day i write all the stiff currently in my mind down. Either on a notepad that is always laying on my desk or a fullscreen text editor window where i write it in the center. (It is basically like dumping the ram to disc)

The I rode my bike home for about 20-25 minutes. This really cleared my mind.

(Now since corona i am in home office and i just step out the home office. I miss the bike rides. But the suggestion of someone else in the thread about taking a shower before lunch sounds great)

We create a separate branch for the customer and preview this branch with wunderpreview and give the customer the link to the preview.

Every once in a while we merge new stuff in the customers branch so she has always the latest stuff in her preview.
