AntennaPod is a great open source podcast player. It's amazing to see a huge refactoring to reduce package dependency cycles over the past four years.
I'm delighted that I was mentioned twice in the blog post! :-)

For business, I use the Personal Kanban Task Organizer. It has an Outlook integration, so the tasks planned for today show up in my Outlook calendar.
I implemented it as a desktop software, it's available for Linux and Windows, it keeps your personal data on your local computer, no cloud communication, FLOSS.

Would a self-hosted static website be an alternative?
You could use your HTML skills, rent a cheap virtual server with nginx, and buy a web domain. Advantage: You are not dependent on the existence of a free platform provider, so your blog will still exist in 10 years.

Re:Codeberg a GitHub Alternative from Europe

The article isn't correct in all arguments:
> However, you won’t be getting the advanced features like automation or other integration...
Codeberg also has built-in CI support using Woodpecker (ci.codeberg.org). It works very well.
> However, if you are interested in a privacy-friendly GitHub alternative from Europe, I suggest you check out Codeberg.
Important to know that Codeberg only allows to host projects with a FLOSS license. So I wouldn't announce it as a GitHub alternative without a further note.
Re:Ask HN: Is Code Deletion Helpful?
on Friday September 30, 2022 @05:44AM (#33032876)
I've had a lot of discussions with developers on this topic. It seems to be difficult for developers to delete code even if it is versioned in Git, so the code is not really lost.
I regularly encourage my teams to delete code that has no use in the near future. Because every line of code in the production environment leads to maintenance effort, so this would save their time.
Re:Ask HN: How do you solve bottleneck engineers?
on Thursday September 29, 2022 @07:03AM (#33018882)
I had to solve a similar issue in two teams. I'm not against documentation, but this wouldn't have solved the issue in my case. Documentation was available, but you couldn't clearly know if it's still up-to-date or which use case would be the right one.
The solution was to dissolve head monopolies. The best developer in the team was very supportive and tried to solve all problems himself instead of involving his colleagues to make them more independent from him. This was not malicious intent, but just helpfulness oriented to short-term solutions.
So it was a structural cause that could only be solved from outside the team.

Re:Ask HN: Why isn't GWT or Vaadin more popular among Java developers?
on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @10:05AM (#32070145)
Exactly. The abstraction is good to have quick first results.
As soon as it comes to browser-specific issues or very detailed customer requirements you need the flexibility to look behind the abstraction layer. Then, if you do not have the necessary expertise, you are lost.
