@g33konaut It was really amazing to see what
you pulled off in 2017.

I wonder what the reason for this was? Recruiting / Marketing for Archilogic?
And would you say it returned what you invested?

But we all share the desire for living/working in an environment like this and
this gives me hope! Anybody who start the discussion in their team or company
about the way they interact, will quickly and most certainly find allies and can
grow a team of change agents from that.

@KLM Flight KL1765 tomorrow (Jan 3rd 09:50 AMS to
FRA) has been cancelled, over three hours ago. We have been disconnected twice
on the phone Hotline (each time after 20+ Minutes on hold), no response on
Messenger ... Self-service rebooking not possible. What now?!

@coding_nerd To apply for a loan would mean
to write a solid business plan, which takes weeks. Why would you do that if you
could take some wild guesses and vomit them into a spreadsheet to hunt for tens
or hundred times the money?

Replying to @datenreisender

@datenreisender Yes, this is a very real
struggle, very similar to using Facebook flying to the US buying Vegetables
wrapped in plastic driving a car.

They serve one of my personal needs which would need disproportional effort to
get elsewhere-or impossible.

Meanwhile I have come to the conclusion that this syntax for binding arguments
in #JavaScript

const f1 = f.bind(undefined, arg) f1(); // const f = arg => {}

is inferior to

const f1 = f(arg) f1(); // const f = arg => () => {}

@SamirTalwar The app under test is a
@goserverless project, the handlers for the
routers are set up here:
https://github.com/ausgaben/serverless-backend/blob/2cb65aac0cf39a8fc076a26c618ec3b55fd1fb35/__test__/features/features.spec.js#L115
That way I can directly call them locally.

If something goes wrong I can print a nice view, of what happened:

@gazebo_c No, but for the two times sit for 3
hours in the Smoke Sauna: a huge Sauna for ~30 people, which is heated for 3
hours with open burning wood before. The inside is completely black from the
smoke.

It has an awesome warmth afterwards. Best sauna I know.

So, quick poll on #JavaScript throw: should you always throw an instance of
Error(), or is it ok to throw anything?

I'm also happy to hear your reasoning for the choice.

Replying to @coderbyheart

You can throw undefined, btw.

I personally think you should always throw an Error instance. Technically this
is superfluous, since everywhere you catch it, you know you have an error.

But: Errors have attached stack traces. So it's easier to debug.

Replying to @RidingWolf

@RidingWolf For me the expressiveness of code
by using exceptions outranks performance implications by a magnitude.

Having good code will mean less bugs, faster time to market, which is in typical
web app cases worth way more cash.

@miskaknapek I did not fly via HEL, because
there is a direct flight from FRA to IVL (seriously!).

But I keep that in mind. I have colleagues in Oulu, and I'll probably need to
fly to Finland again this year.

Did a hike to Kiilopää mountain top today. It was so cold my phone turned off,
so no pics. But it we had zero visibility anyway.

Let's look at some great food instead. #codefreeze

I just noticed that I have worn the perfect t-shirt for this day: Always stay
cool, like an icebear, and everything will work out. Big 👏 to all
@NordicTweets employees who made today

Nachdem Mentees bei @Code_Door Frankfurt das
@udacity Nanodegree abgeschlossen haben (und
inzwischen auch schon Praktika absolvieren), werden drei von ihnen nun bei der
@IHK_FFM eine Prüfung ablegen, die dann auf eine
Ausbildung zum Fachinformatiker angerechnet werden kann.

This might be obvious, but when designing new software features I'd like to
think from the consumer side first, how the best API/UI looks like and let that
be the driver of architectural decisions, not the other way around.

I got delayed in Oslo, and my Baggage did not make it. Nevertheless I'm relaxed.
Soon I'm home with a carry-on full of cheese. #trd 🇳🇴

Replying to @Morl99

@Morl99 Are they really not interested to hire
their next team member?! I highly doubt that. It's most likely that they have no
training and encouragement from the company to do so.

Replying to @Morl99

@Morl99 Here are some ideas:

  • go to (un-)conferences and talk about your work
  • to there to hear others talk Doing that you build a network and create a more
    interesting image for your company than the marketing department can.

@Morl99 This works also for digital work, like
being active in forums, projects. People get to know you, and when you share a
job they will listen. And you will learn about people that are looking for a
job, and if you approach them you won't be a stranger.
