Documentation is often hard to find, outdated, misleading, badly written, or simply doesn’t exist… 😒📖 I just finished my #AgileTD talk on how to manage your team’s documentation to end up in a better place. I’m really happy how the talk turned out and grateful for the very good questions.

If you are at #AgileTD, do feel free to propose a session for this year’s open space with @jrosaproenca.bsky.social and @alexschl.bsky.social. It doesn’t matter if you want to present something or simply discuss a topic, just post it on Slack 👉 agiletdzone.slack.com/archives/C08...

On my way to #AgileTD Looking forward to meeting with old friends, make new ones, and talk about quality software development 😀

Hey there #AgileTD fans. I am not able to attend the Agile TD in Potsdam end of November. But I have got an Agile TD ticket and Hotelroom in Potsdam (at the venue direct) and before I cancel it, I want to ask if anyone wants to takeover? Please reach out to me. Thank you. Price is 3.097 Euros.

Took me quite some time to figure it out, but I finally understood why `idea diff "my file" "my other file"` won't work on my Mac. The issue is in the `idea` script as generated by @intellijidea.com Toolbox. See youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-77...

This looks very cool

Long, confusing, and overly specific assertion blocks are an issue. The confuse the test's intention, make it brittle, and hard to maintain. It is also easy to overlook a value that's not checked at all.

Code formatting discussions are terrible 🤦‍♂️. Where and when to add a line break? How to indent? Where to put the braces? Which quotes to use? In my new article I show how to end them simply with Spotless and Gradle. medium.com/@michakutz/g... #gradle #codeformatting
