Coffee roasting - I've started to roast a coffee for my girlfriend coffee shop as a side job 2.5 years ago and now I start to feel, my learning curve is finally growing up. I want to learn how to make consistently great roasted coffee, how to manage entire process and how to keep pushing quality up.

There were many dictators with high popularity rates. Remember Romanian leader Ceaușescu? Yet, popularity didn't save him. On the other hand, there're still people in Romania who consider him the greatest president of all time :)

It's very common and normal, to have a small popularity numbers for the politicians in the democracy. People have a variety of opinions, moods, or sympathies because they are diverse and have different levels of experiences, moods, and feelings.

I found myself amazed by map reading during the sailing school and sailing excercises. We were using detailed paper maps of Crotia's coastline and had an interesting practice to sail with just map (gps turmed off) during the night around Sibenik. Amazing experience

I work remotely for more than 5 years. After my daughter was born, the productivity is a rollercoaster and I needed to modify my working schedule by a lot according her daytime activities. I think, I could provide a more precise output sitting in an office, on the other hand I need to be a very effective and finish the task before she starts to play around me :)

My girlfriend had a small coffeeshop. As time passed I found a passion to help her out with wares, logistics and even ideas. We bought small coffee roaster and started our own small local coffee brand recently. I feel a great motivation about it, but still stayed as an part time tech advisor for 2 startups/friends.

I loved this tool :) ! Few years ago, as a junior I joined one global corporation to my first job and I started to use it with zero knowledge about the python or even testing at all. But learning curve was very easy & fast and as of time, we created more than 3000 E2E & integration tests for our business application, running through the Jenkins. The tests were written in a very human-readable format, so anybody at the team could easily understand the test and identify the issues. Reporting had nice (but quite slow) html & jquery page. Also, Robot editor was a recommended tool to write tests.

After a time, when I was starting a startup with a few junior developers which lacked the expertise, we used this tool in combination with Selenium to crawl data. It was fast & easy.

Always glad to see this tool is still alive. Good job Pekka Klarck!

I stopped to read article after first headline "The NATO Promise", because it's very popular hoax narrative shared by eastern propaganda.

Gorbachev personally said it's a fake. Besides, in 1990, Soviet Union had much more troubles to handle than dealing with NATO borders.

In 18th century in Astria-Hungary, there were several conspiracies about the potatoes as a weapon of rich to poison and kill the poor. Funny fact, our ancestors were fighting againts potatoes 300years ago and now we celebrate this ingredient in national dishes as a cultural heritage.

Btw similar revolts could be found in many government/kingdom actions f.e. to fight cholera or plagues of that time. Peasants didn't understand the actions and expected bad things to come instead.

New comment by Agoreddah in "Analysis of dev agencies with hourly rates, team size and tech stack"

Agoreddah — Fri, 08 May 2020 19:45:32 +0000

These rates are quite interesting. After I did one freelance project (managed team of 3devs, created prototype of 5G API network component), I am thinking about starting my own small software agency. I was expecting to charge 30-35EUR/hour (Central Europe region), but according to these rates, my expectations are quite low.

Can anyone give me any advice, books or podcasts, how to get better in business negotiation, to be more confident to ask a proper charge?

Wow, just today I was creating css lib for my project with similar naming and behaviour rules. Thanks for showing it out, I will check (eventually create) sass version of it. In my personal opinion, for simple projects, this is all what developer needs. Intuitive, extensible, low dependency and fast.
