• Ask HN: Do you upvote direct replies?

  Regarding notifications, try HN Notify[0]. It came up a long time ago and I've been using it ever since. I love getting replies in emails. If you don't follow up on conversations, no one learns. [0]: https://hnnotify.xyz/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Do you use any tools to improve your HN experience?

  I built https://hw.leftium.com, a mashup of https://hackerweb.app and https://hckrnews.com. I also have a bookmarklet to quickly toggle between https://hw.leftium.com and the original version. Then I installed the Refined Hacker News extension: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news I use two services to get notified about replies to my posts/comments: - https://hnnotify.xyz/ - https://hnreplies.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Automating standups using GPT4 and Github APIs

  We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests. Source: 8 months ago

• Agile / Scrum

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call. The other 3 are run using a tool called Geekbot (Yes scrum masters do hate this) which is basically just a chatbot that sends you the standard standup questions and you can answer whenever you feel like it. This has helped our team heaps due to having such a huge mix of people in our team (Cloud Eng, Database Eng, Software Eng, Network Eng) that... Source: 11 months ago

• What do you really think of your daily standup?

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: about 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time.
