So important when praising someone: explain what they did.
This helps the recipient to see what others value, and if given publicly, make
others aware of what this person is great in, so they can think about them in
the future in case they need help in a similar situation.

#NowPlaying
Do you want to work on #opensource #IoT projects that help
@NordicTweets customers build amazing
products, which for example help fighting pandemics, or create smart cities?
This is for you: /status/1353707881250623488
About the process: we are looking for people who love to make technology more
accessible, through great examples and documentation. That's why we try to
figure out your skills as a cloud engineer by checking for your #JavaScript and
#TypeScript skills in a coding challenge.
We also give you a technical home assignment (without a time limit) where we ask
you to implement a cloud component base on a real-world example from one of our
projects in a #serverless fashion on the #cloud of your choice, so you can focus
on providing a great example.
I tried to make this process really relaxed and provide you multiple
opportunities to show your skills, beyond your CV.
Applicants said that the tests are fair, and realistic, but I am always open for
alternatives ... during the entire process you have the opportunity to take the
lead ... in the end we are looking for people who are good in figuring out the
best solution to a problem together.
Passive aggressiv much, eh Twitter?
@myriamjessier Offer them that and a 50%
time reduction in addition?
@ThisIsMissEm I guess hyper growth needs to
come from somewhere...
@miskaknapek Yes, I fully agree that these
two issues exist. The internet infrastructure is essential for Europe but mostly
owned and operated by American companies. Good alternatives should exist. And,
like all media, social media needs to be regulated more. Even US now understand
that.
@miskaknapek However I have little hope for
projects like Gaia-X to be ever able to compete with cloud vendors like AWS who
have decades more experience. https://www.data-infrastructure.eu/
@miskaknapek This will either create a walled
garden, where EU businesses have to use inferior services, which is a
competitive disadvantage.
Or this initiatives will fail to reach critical adoption.
I fear that we are already at a digital point of no return.
@miskaknapek Yes, especially the public
sector has different rules (and usually only needs to serve a specific country).
There this can be achieved: transparency, data ownership, hosting, all in Europe
and under European regulations.
@ddprrt You had a nightmare where you needed to
implement a social network using Java 8.

"Today, Spotify is proud to introduce Work From Anywhere (WFA), a new way of
collaborating that allows Spotifiers to work from wherever they do their best
thinking and creating.
https://newsroom.spotify.com/2021-02-12/distributed-first-is-the-future-of-work-at-spotify/

clear that for Spotify the advantages of WFH outweigh those they get when having
employees working colocated.

I keep having issues with @MicrosoftTeams
on Linux on some calls, where it turns off my microphone for no good reason. It
works fine on bascially all other call during the day, and in other
applications.
Trying to remove options for Teams to select as input:
@alterisian They clearly identified this as a
challenge: "A distributed-first structure will challenge us to improve our
communication and collaboration practices."
I think it really depends on each team, how they make up for it. There are many
ways to replace the "watercooler".
When migrating to @npmjs v7 I noticed that it will
include all existing dependencies in the node_modules folder, which lead to bugs
because suddenly packages were using a different top-level dependency.
So the clean way to migrate that worked was:
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json npm i
@lxztlr I don't think so, I had entries for
"folder" packages in the lockfile afterwards:
"node_modules/p-try": {...}, which pulled in a very old, and broken version of
that dependency, which then was used by dependencies without a lockfile.
That stuff.

If you have one single source of truth for something, a blockchain is pointless.
#impfpass
@HaganeNoEnjinia Just because you can use it to distribute records, does
inherently make it a great solution.
I can sign a message stating that I did something with my PGP key and everyone
can verify the authenticity of the message. No blockchain needed.
@HaganeNoEnjinia @janl Whoever controls the majority
of the network can tamper with the chain.
@HaganeNoEnjinia The current impfpass is decentralized, the government does not
issue them, and it's many doctors who update it and sign a vaccination using
their name.
I am saying that blockchain (or 5 of them) do not provide a unique feature for
the distribution of vaccination status.
@HaganeNoEnjinia The "Impfpass" which is the international certification of
vaccination
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Certificate_of_Vaccination_or_Prophylaxis)
is not issued by the government, you can buy it online:
https://www.amazon.de/Impfpass-Impfbuch-Impfausweis-Internationale-Bescheinigung/dp/B08FX454T1
@HaganeNoEnjinia Which also an aspect where a blockchain offers no unique
property.
You have a centralized tree of authority, and a the proof of work is done by
just one person (the doctor), and is not validated by another doctor.

#testcraftcamp first session: Quality for AI systems hosted by
@alex_schl >
Testing also means that #ai needs to be #explainable ... because there is
liability attached to certain decisions.
@alex_schl for example
@anotherday____ and others are
researching #explainableAI @NTNU:
https://www.ntnu.edu/exaigon
Regarding testability behaves like a black box and can't "tell" us what it's
thinking. It takes data as input and returns a decision. The problem is finding
the "right" inputs that return the "wrong" decisions.
Software is used to automate things at massive scale (this is where AI really
shines), therefore mistakes there have a much larger impact that then same
mistakes made by individual humans.
Some AI systems have to handle reality, not like most like "classical" software
where we very often define the scope of the environment for the software. That
makes it incredibly important for testers to work on uncovering the unknown
unknowns.
It's also dangerous to only focus on the outputs: building a good AI will
replace the human experts who are needed to verify the quality of decisions
during development. Quality means also ensuring that the best body of knowledge
is considered.
#TCC2021 seems to be the other hashtag to add this to.

more, but don't know what.
@lucianadrian Here I mean domain knowledge,
the experts that are involved verifying the AI's decision.

Nevertheless managed to discuss around No Code BDD and/or low-level BDD. Most
teams seem to be still using it the classical way with custom scenario
implementations.
Third session of #testcraftcamp #TCC2021 was about ensemble testing, which was a
lot of fun. Testing in groups reveals so much more bugs!
@pati_gallardo Who wouldn't?
Really like the app testing session at #TCC2021 #testcraftcamp, it gives you so
much great insight on what others value in usability, and how they approach
exploratory testing.

I'd put it a little differently: we thought they were the path of least effort

Out of the hundreds of applicants for the summer job in Norway we got, not one
mentions cloud in their CV, or cover letter.
It seems like @NTNU does not really teach that, and
it's giving me a hard time going through a lot of candidates to try to find a
good match for what I do.
@gfrancesco11
@NTNU Yes, AWS is only mentioned once (by a
candidate that is not eligible), Azure only in the context of "we did something
with Azure DevOps", which can mean a lot.

So, the #Azure IoT PnP system is only designed for public model IDs:

@thebandGHOST and

I just found out the the Azure IoT Explorer supports custom model repositories:
I've interviewed half a dozen students this week for a summer job with me, and
it was really uplifting to talk to people who are new to the industry and what
they see as inspiring and interesting. Really looking forward showing them the
cloud side of #cellularIoT.
@AllisonWeins @github I just checked and it no
longer happens!🙏
@gfrancesco11 Well, I did ask about how
cloud is introduced to them. But it's simply not a concept that's taught. In
software architecture courses the predominant model is still mostly as a vague
concept as in "run servers there", but still in the old mindset of "virtual
servers".
@gfrancesco11 I wonder if there is a way I
could contribute to that...
@mimita86
@gfrancesco11
@BabakFarshchian Sounds great! I guess
it's just my personal lens on this topic thinking this matters (especially for
IoT), and for students it's anyway too much information and pretty abstract what
platforms mean.

Bootcamps are a shady business, so it's really not helping that
https://salt.dev/ (a coding Bootcamp based on Oslo, Amsterdam and Stockholm)
is not fully transparent on how they make money.
Words like "get drilled" and "They are trained in programming from early morning
to late evening for three months." do also not inspire confidence in this
program.
@oredev Thank you for making this decision, as
conference organizers we shouldn't put anyone in unnecessary risk (and that
includes conference staff and people in the transportation industry).
Lockdown im Hirn, vielleicht.
Twice today I've been presented decisions without explanation.
Is it really too much to ask for some context?
We do X, because ...
Azure #IoT Device Update is pretty hard to understand:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub-device-update/device-update-plug-and-play
1⃣ it requires the device to announce the model ID "dtmi:AzureDeviceUpdate;1".
However a device can only announce one model ID, so how to build a device that
supports Device Update and other features?
2⃣ The model "azureDeviceUpdateAgent" they require devices to implement is not
published in their own IoT Plug&Play registry:
https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models/
3⃣there seems to be no way to use Plug&Play models that are not publicly
hosted on https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models/ with Device Update.
Right now, you need to publish them there, however I don't think everyone wants
the world to know about your devices.

@vslepakov Thanks Tobias, for connecting to
fellow IoT people. It's a beast that takes a group effort to tame...
It's also so frustrating ... every time I look into a new thing to learn on
Azure, it's full of blockers, and errors. Documentation is a lot of screenshots,
no automation. I am usually left feeling sad when having to work with the Azure
portal.
@Bokassanovas I've seen two of them together
already. Maybe one day ... the holy trinity of rock and metal.
@vicbergquist We have a few places in
Trondheim that sell used furniture, maybe that's a place where you could look in
Oslo, once they open again (https://www.antikkvarehuset.no/). Or if you are
really adulting, pay a snekker for a custom one.
The world is on fire And you are here to stay and burn with me A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever more
Good decision! https://twitter.com/RSprachrohr/status/1374723058439688195
However, the 2 Trondheim shows have been cancelled, and I now have a horror
vision of 60.000 Trønder coming to Oslo for the show in 2022. That's going to be
a mess.
I don't know how #Azure makes money, but it's not because of being developer
friendly:
@gr2m @typescript
@github The TypeScript compiler API should be able
to do that:
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Using-the-Compiler-API
@terabaud It's definitely a feature, if it improves the quality of the final
product.
This is disgusting. https://twitter.com/bureaulocal/status/1375009588353900546

is an interesting way to subdivide this country regionally.

"There is need for more technical agile coaches!" says
@emilybache and with her book "Technical Agile
Coaching with the Samman method" she hands us a roadmap to implementing it in
organizations: https://sammancoaching.org/
Follow @coachingsamman and spread the word ...!
@Steeve_Sim
@CoachingSamman
@emilybache I think here combining coaching
(helping people to find the right answers) and training (helping them develop
the skill they need to achieve what they want) goes very well hand in hand.
@Steeve_Sim
@CoachingSamman
@emilybache Think about a team that is bad at
delivering software: as a coach we need to help them discover how they can
improve (e.g. "we need to write tests, which we do not do now"); as a trainer we
then teach them TDD.
@RidingWolf No push notification about that?
Short update here: they are working on it ...
The part I really like about working with #Azure is that GitHub Actions are
arguable their solution for CI/CD. On AWS CodeBuild/CodePipeline is nice, but
Actions is just the right amount of simplicity and configurability for
cloud-native setups.
@wonderb0lt I would disagree, it's much better
integrated and AWS IoT is basically one big service, where the same thing on
Azure is split up in instances, and different services, and they are impossible
to automate:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/asset-tracker-cloud-azure-js/issues/1
@wonderb0lt I am aware that I have been using
AWS for ~7 years, so a lot seems natural there. But Azure is years away from the
developer experience (emphasis here) compared to AWS.
@wonderb0lt IMHO because Azure grew by
virtualizing instances. AWS grew by providing services. And it shows:

@RobertReiz Interesting, I wouldn't expect to

@vslepakov I had an exchange with the Azure IoT
specialists, and they are aware that I am "pushing the envelope" here and are
working on addressing the issues.
Great advice in the post. I have an open invitation for coaching / mentoring
calls pinned to my profile and had a few great calls over the years. IMO too few
make use of these offers.

@Der_Pesse I think it's ok to miss out. It's
hard to tell the difference between hype and trend. If it really matters you
will start hearing it from outside your bubble as well. However megatrends in
tech are relevant long enough to pick up the necessary skills if needed, if you
focus.
@Der_Pesse It's also ok to completely ignore a
megatrend. ➡️ There are more coming. ➡️ There are multiple at the same time.
It's impossible to follow all. Trust your ability to learn, and be open minded
to embrace change when required. But there is always a niche for you.
@Der_Pesse Oh, I see, different problem.
It's a little bit surreal to see Norwegian tourist attractions being completely
deserted. https://www.norwaysbest.com/information/webcam/
@m4nl5r Let me know when, I'm happy to show you
around Trondheim, and also might have a few tips for what to do.
"violent crime in Baltimore dropped 20% from last March to this month, property
crime decreased 36%, and there were 13 fewer homicides compared with the
previous year. This happened while 39% fewer people entered the city’s criminal
justice system in the one-year period"

@RidingWolf Put the photos on

use @Netlify) instead.
