@tpflug Disable parallel run once?

@tpflug Ah, ok, the error only occurs if you run
the targets in parallel? Then have targets print errors to stderr and pipe
stdout to /dev/null ?

Rain in Trondheim 🇳🇴 after a week of -10°:

@jke Das Problem ist vor allem, dass E-Mail als
Ablage verwendet wird. Wenn man hin will zu einfacher verschlüsselter
Kommunikation in Unternehmen: Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp. Und die Projektdaten
zentral ablegen.

@jke Nein, aber so lange es auf Unternehmens-Ebene
keine Änderung gibt, wird sich das privat nie etablieren.

Søstrene Grene haben wir hier in Trondheim zum ersten Mal besucht. Sehr koselig,

"We have no managers and are in need of none.

We are not crazy, mind you. The company didn’t collapse. Conversely, the
retention has improved, motivation went through the roof, and financially the
company has never been more stable as it is now." https://vimeo.com/208635546

@RidingWolf I wonder which type of keys to

First Snowplough on the road in Trondheim 🇳🇴 🌨

@helloanselm Yes, but it was not that much
before here (100m above sea level).

I thought about how to generate JSX from plain HTML, which would enable having
an HTML design styleguid which can evolve out of which JSX is generated
automatically.

This would create a better separation of concern for app logic / design.

And migrating to another UI framework / or upgrading would be much easier.

@dtanzer
@SourceKnights Yes, that sounds what I am
thinking. This is especially helpful for the collaboration between designers and
developers.

@RealIvanSanchez Yes, but this would need
to be done continously.

@RealIvanSanchez Imagine you have an HTML
preview like this: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/examples/dashboard/

But the JSX elements are generated automatically from that file everytime you
change it.

@datenreisender Ah, that is the other way
around.

What I have in mind is using a given Framework like
@getbootstrap, build a UI styleguide based
on that and generate the JSX components off that.

That way the reference for the design does not depend on JSX, but would be pure
HTML.

@rradczewski Check out

Despite heavy snow 🌨 on the roads, many
@NordicTweets employees here in Trondheim 🇳🇴
bike to work 🚵➡🏢. The bicycle parking stands are full.

A heated garage, a place to wash your bike and hangers for wet cloth make this a
very comfortable activity!

@rradczewski Well RBPi is basically a PC in
IoT/Low Power Device terms. For the OS part of your IoT solutions: check out
https://www.zephyrproject.org/ or http://mynewt.apache.org/ ... but those
run on low-power ARM cores (like in Bluetooh Peripherals).

@rradczewski I'm looking into this topic for

@SamirTalwar I have no definite answer, but
the underlying question is, what story should master tell: A story of how the
code came into existence, or A story of when it became active. Because only when
it is in master, its available to others (or your prod system).

#JavaScript madness: https://twitter.com/qntm/status/939229051037933568

@thilographie_de Oh, that sounds
horrible. At least that's not in there. The quality of the fish was good. Just
way too sweet for my taste. I'll try other brands.

One of the fun parts of being in a new country: exploring their food.

In general, try to avoid filtering out properties from objects, since this opens
your code up for unexpected side-effects.

In most cases you are far better off in return only known properties. And with
ES6 this is really simple to achieve:

({prop1, prop2}) => ({prop1, prop2})

The other day I replaced a dependency to printf, someone needed to put a string
in the middle of another string: printf('abc%sdef', val).

In ES6 this can be nicely substituted with: this function val =>
abc${val}def.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

What if the template is dynamic? >

Since Template Literals cannot be constructed at runtime, your template string
cannot come from a variable, but must be constructed using backticks (`). So if
you load the string from the database, it is as simple as replacing the
placholder.

Use very restrictive code like:

const templateString = 'abc${val}def' // could come from a database ... const
val = 'f00'; console.log(templateString.replace(/${val}/g, val))

which replaces the exact instace of the placeholder, nothing else.

Don't do things that evals all variables. In most cases (e.g. rendering an email
subject), the names of the variables are known and defined. Support only that.

In the original case of the code, there would have been ever only one
placeholder...

@datenreisender Only if I would write a
templating engine, but in most cases: never!

@untertanaermel
@0xPIT Yes, and this won't scale. But top-down
decisions are not using the full potential of the organization and this will
hurt the business in the long term, especially in volatile markets and
innovative / creative industries.

@untertanaermel
@0xPIT If organizations let themselves being
dragged down by naysayers and people who don't care about their job, they can
still make a living out of it. But they will never exel and fail to attract and
keep talent.

@untertanaermel
@0xPIT There are hundreds of examples from small
companies to multi-billion dollar corporations (e.g. Semco), which don't have
central decision making.

There is even example from the military, checkout
@ldavidmarquet's talk:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzJL8zX3EVk

Jeg serte første trønderske elgen i dag! 🇳🇴

@calibanatspace Hm, das ist ungewöhnlich
(wir hosten hier auch noch zum Teil mit System-Instanzen bei AWS, wo Networking
Teil der Konfiguration ist). Welchen Cloud-Provider nutzt ihr?

@untertanaermel
@0xPIT
@ldavidmarquet Step 1 is to involve the
top-level management (C-Level and one below) in this change and make the
accountable for it. They need to set the example.

Bottom-up approach will never work.

@untertanaermel
@0xPIT
@ldavidmarquet Anarchy is nothing to strive
for. Responsive organizations have role-based informal hierarchy, and
accountability on all levels.

Anarchy is everyone for themselves.

Arrived at @NordicTweets Christmas party.

.@NordicTweets three core rules

1. Foresight over hindsight - focus on what we gonna do in the future
2. Optimism over Pessimism - be optimistic about the future
3. Opportunities over Problems or Risks - think opportunity-based when talking
   about risks
   

Biggest Kahoot tonight? @NordicTweets

@andreas_php For this task I really prefer using BDD (Gherkin and derivates):

@andreas_php The nice thing: BDD focuses on End User Value (happy path tests)
and is a great resource for providing a living system documentation.

@jezenthomas You also read THAT article ;-)

I only worked in "closed" SaaS teams, where customers have no reason to share
their data (because its secret or proprietary).

It's very hard to grow in this kind of scenario.

@jezenthomas Word of mouth helps, but if the product is complex, your users will
usually fail to convey the real benefit of the product.

It's very fitting that @NordicTweets
Trondheim office got this sign today:

@Sarky_de This obviously depends on the
situation when you join the team, but it's always important to start with
listening to the team: do intensive 1:1 sessions with everyone in the first
week, and then continue to have 30min 1:1s every week with everybody in your
team.

@Sarky_de Clearly define, how you can be
reached, and provide clear guidelines for them to understand when you are
available for chat, and when you wish not to be disturbed. Check out this post
on the topic:
https://coderbyheart.com/define-a-communication-policy-so-slack-doesnt-kill-you/

@Sarky_de Resist the urge to change to much
right away, instead ask a lot of questions (no judging!) and use the first
months to get a detailed understanding of roles, competences and the whole tech
stack. Share your observations with the team, an outside perspective is super
valuable.

See my opinion in the responses:

@amokleben Hm, ich finde dort immer sehr viel
an Techno und auch Indie zeugs. Bin ziemlich happy damit.

@c089 I would be interesting to find out where the
most money is made in that chain from pot grower to local pharmacist ...

@Sarky_de Keep the questions coming!

@Sarky_de This is very dangerous territory. Do
not go there. You will not find a efficiency metric that is not easily gamed or
will provide false incentives.

@Sarky_de If you are concerned about efficiency
with some of your team members, there are better ways:

Make the impact of the non-efficency transparent, don't judge, just state facts
(e.g. time it took to build a feature, which equals money spent).

@Sarky_de And then explain why you think this
needs to be improved (please no bullshit reasons like we need to save 20%).

Then LISTEN to what they will tell you and try to figure out from that
information the underlying reasons for inefficiency.

Ask WHY a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys

@Sarky_de Again, be very careful to never make
the appearance that you are blaming someone. It is always (except for willful
wrongdoing) the whole team that let a certain problem come to existence.

A great technique for these kinds of "investigations" is

Looking at
https://blog.falcross.com/introducing-restyped-end-to-end-typing-for-rest-apis-with-typescript/
I wonder if this is a (absolutely well done) solution to the wrong problem.

Do I really want to interact with plain REST APIs these days? As a developer,
usually not and as an API provider I have even more hesitations to advocate
this.

These days REST is but a subset of API technologies and handing a REST API out
as a contract to your service will limit your ability to evolve it in the
future.

I would rather provide high-level SDKs for language that encapsulates your
underlying communication mechanism.

Let this SDK focus on immutable domain entities and operations (not on resources
and whether to POST or to PUT).

An SDK is so much more powerfull in providing an expressive and meaningfull API,
including the communication of deprecated methods, typings, because it can be
written to suit your domain, and does not neet to fit in the REST vocabulary.

@TipeIO I#m pretty sure you know

@RealIvanSanchez Should I? 😬

@calibanatspace Nah, I'm having way too
much fun here @NordicTweets ...

@rradczewski Everything you can click on, is
available through an API. You can express all your infrastructure configuration
through CloudFormation, which gives you reproducible configuration management:
https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/

@rradczewski Lambda can be compared to
express.js in terms of what it encapsulates for you.

Moving JS business logic out of lambda is very simple, since the lambda API is
very straightforward:

event object for data input callback for result / error signaling.

@rradczewski You can write tests for your
lambda handlers, no "lambda environment" necessary to run them.

When engineers have to come up with Heart Rate Monitor sample data ...

Most humans would be dead after 1-2 Minutes.

@rradczewski I really love that there is a UI
for eploring capabilities and services. It gives you a much easier way to
understand their services.

Complex setups will take a long time to get right, so it's great to have a "dev"
account to tinker, and a "prod" account to manage via code.

Taking time off on the other hand means your brain will have time to process and
build new connections. Spending these 3.8% on doing nothing can easily result in
being 10 time more productive afterwards. Creativity and innovation don't
sprint, they stroll.

@jezenthomas Disk imaging is pretty useless if you do not have physical access
to the server so you could restore the disk image after a crash.

You would only backup your application data, and configuration files (typicall
all that is in /etc) to a /backup folder (once per day) >

@jezenthomas And you replicate this folder to a remote location (a server in
another physical location [in case of fire, flood]).

http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ is great for this task.

@jezenthomas Yes, ideally you can spin up a new instance of your server
automatically. If you have that (and the recipes are versioned), then you need
to back up the "dynamic" data.

@jezenthomas Yes, it would pay off to do a run of your strategy. Buy a second
server and set up everything there from backup.

@FreXxX Scheint unterschiedlich pro Land zu sein.

next to Kristiansen Festning ...

@ulope That would be impossible. And useless, since
you can infer other other language's SDK from reference implementations.

Also, you can always access the underlying API but I would not put the same SLA
on that.

@raphaelfyi Yes, definitely!

@gregwinn
@NordicTweets
@NetworkWorld Here you go:

Why Node-RED is worth a look! #iot #javascript
https://developer.ibm.com/dwblog/2017/five-reasons-use-node-red-iot/

@RalfDMueller No, but since IBM and Hitachi
are big sponsors, I guess there are quite a few. Maybe ask
@NodeRED?

So, output is ready: #iot

@RidingWolf
@codefreeze_fi Yes, will do! I will also do
a session on what I have learned about Hardware in the last 5 months.

This thing has internet! #iot

@dc7590 It's supposed to be the WiFi symbol...

.@NordicTweets supports low power LTE
because it offers low power connectivity while at the same time providing a high
level of security and scalable throughput. #iot

@jezenthomas Well, redhat and suse for instance ..

We went out during High Noon: #trondheim 🇳🇴

@martinengwicht First pic was taken here: Dropped Pin near Trondheim par3golf on
Havstein, Statsråd Krohgs veg 15, 7021 Trondheim, Norway

@codePrincess Officially 4.5 (Sunrise is at
10, Sunset at 14:30).

But in practice two at max since there are mountains around us. And we have to
walk up a little to actually see the sun.

Now it's listening to the ☁️. #iot

@jurgenappelo
@james_clear Their arguments are strange,
they did write enough words for two books, but nevertheless no book was created.

Activity without direction (goal) can yield results, but won't they be much more
random?

Having a goal means I can check if I am progressing in the right direction.

Now it's receiving a message from the @awscloud
and draws the icon given in the message. #iot

@SamirTalwar ... selling, documenting,
evangelizing, teaching, ...

It's hard to focus on one profession only (e.g. coding) because you will then
lack in the other fields.

Balance is so important in our work.

The thing is now a JavaScript powered #iot display, the icons are transferred
via an encrypted TLS connection directly from AWS IoT. Updates take <1s to
appear on the device so that even simple animations are possible.

@jezenthomas No #iot necessary, you can do this with Bluetooth easily.

@bruckmayer Now 4 days of tinkering ... And
yes, this is for a talk and there will be an accompanying blog post for sure!

Bootstrap 4 Beta 3 is the last beta, and there will be no breaking changes from
Beta 3 to stable: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2017/12/28/bootstrap-4-beta-3/

@bruckmayer Not full-time, ofc.

It's an https://www.espruino.com/WiFi and TLS brings it very close to it's
memory limit.

Also, it's my first time with an Arduino-like hardware so there is much new to
learn for me.

.@karlhorky is compiling an open list of tech
speakers here: https://github.com/karlhorky/awesome-speakers

Let's see what @DognvillBurger has to
offer ... #trondheim 🇳🇴

Frozen Lianvatnet #Trondheim 🇳🇴

@nellshamrell
@johncutlefish
@benjamin maybe interesting for
http://CTO.coffee?

Perfect winter weather! #trondheim 🇳🇴

Can we please acknowledge this for 2018? Establish a workplace culture that is:

• safe to be vulnerable
• transparent to uncover defects
• free of incentives that promote individualized results?

So beautiful to see the sun fighting the cold here in #Trondheim 🇳🇴

@davidpich An hours walk right from our
appartment, which is extra amazing!

.@pierre_garreau has some interestings
thoughts on what a makes a good CTO:
http://pierre.garreau.de/blog/chief-orangoutan/: "[they are] the head problem
finder. [they need] a vision of where the tech stack needs to go, enable [their]
team, and need to be hands-on." 👍

@pierre_garreau Good article, Pierre. But
I would kindle ask you to replace the male "he / him" in
http://pierre.garreau.de/blog/chief-orangoutan/ with gender neutral pronouns.
Women are CTOs, too!

@davidpich May you have an awesome 2018!

@datenreisender I share our CTO and CFOs
observation, that engineers are great in identifiying risks and then oftentimes
are too easily consumed by trying to prevent them as much as possible.
Oftentimes the probability of the risk is highly overestimated and the total
cost estimated falsely.

@datenreisender These intentions are good,
but will limit the ability to move quickly and boldly, which is one of the
advantages a relatively small company like Nordic has: the ability to make quick
decisions and to take risks, because we have the knowledge to fix things
quickly,

@datenreisender IF something goes wrong.
Be prepared, but focus on moving forward.

For me it's just a way of seeing a risk: it's my choice to be intimidated by it,
or to be confident, that I can handle it.

@davidpich Yes, plenty of Sun and great Food is
missed here ...

Here is something for you #agile practitioners to do in 2018:

Can we have space for people whose energy is drained by all the interaction that
is promoted in all agile methods?

In case you haven't noticed: everything focuses on human interaction and all
material focuses on how to "design" human interaction so that it yields results.

What I don't see in books, articles, vides is a strong reminder, that man will
have their energy drained by constant interaction.

Of course, there is an implicit [space] between activities which some people
will actively use to retract and recharge.

But not everybody can muster the courage to actively do so, if the environment
we as agile coaches and trainers are presenting the ideal does not mention
"alone-time"; they will see their need to have solitude as something
unfavorable.

It is not!

Please mention this in your training material, books and videos.

@untertanaermel Do you have proof that
Alien DNA works?

Until then I'd like to have environments where people will stop telling lies.

@untertanaermel You seem to have made some
very negative experiences in the past. And I agree that these methods will
protect you in the majority of the companies that exist today. What I want is
that this changes.

@untertanaermel Can you give an example of
a behaviour, that will get punished by the heavy-handed thought-police processes
inspired by a caring, transparent and shared responsibilities environment?

@untertanaermel Death march projects are
not sustainable, and the math is very simple: losing employees and their
knowledge costs much more than 6 month of operational costs.

But: this is not your behavior, but their decision. So you can keep doing these
kinds of projects.

@untertanaermel The important thing here
is: if the company is open about the situation ("we are close to being bankrupt,
so we need to do this...") than this is a good thing. Employees can find their
own decision based on that.

@untertanaermel If you are two lazy to
explain company policies to juniors, how will you make sure they will not
violate them unknowingly, because they don't fully understand them.

That means you have to watch their every step, which will totally limit your
ability to grow juniors to medias.

@untertanaermel juniors to seniors. This
should be your job.

Using @goserverless I set up a RESTful API
for the #iot device hosted on @awscloud in a few
lines of #JavaScript.

It's so great to be able to prototype hardware projects in pure JS, from API
down to the hardware.

Godt nyttår fra #Trondheim! 🇳🇴

In Norwegen 🇳🇴 gibt es keine Böller.

Geiles Land!
