• Best Cloud Tools For Retrospectives? (Our Retro Tool Is Sadly Being Discontinued)

  I started using Metroretro a few months ago and it's really nice, except for the ability to export retro items I think it covers everything you listed. Also it's free and it comes with some useful templates. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Frontend: Developer Experience & Software Maintainability

  To improve the developer experience, I needed to understand the real problems the engineers were facing, so I scheduled a brainstorming meeting. In this meeting, I explained my project and shared a Metro Retro board to write down all issues our application had at that time, what was the bad DX we had, and doubts related to this application (e.g. How do we handle data fetching?; how do we handle error handling?;... - Source: dev.to / about 3 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: 7 months ago

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

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• 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. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
