Teammate on most recent team gave me this parting feedback: “I learned a ton, we got lots done, our team dynamics were awesome, and I’ve never felt this kind of team feeling before.”

If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.

Interpreted generously, the original American project aimed to break free of tyranny and defend human rights in a new, more universal way.

July 4 seems a fine occasion to reflect that a more perfect union remains as worthy a project as ever.

As we work toward notqmail 1.09 and beyond, we’d like to hear from more folks who’ve…

1. Updated your #qmail or netqmail installs to notqmail. (Yay! Anything tricky?)

2. Tried and failed to update. (What blew up?)

3. Decided not to try yet. (What were some of your reasons?)

Folks using #notqmail from pkgsrc, 1.08 is now available: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/bb00ba9. Please update.

notqmail 1.08 is out. Vulnerabilities and other bugs fixed, compiler warnings reduced, dead code pruned, presumed-dead code put on notice, my QMAILREMOTE patch added, and lo and behold, our first few unit tests.

I've guested on lots of podcasts; last month (before life got more interesting) I tried my hand at hosting. For the 100th episode of Developer's Journey, Tim Bourguignon tried his hand at guesting. Coincidence??!? (Also, how'd we do?)

“Go faster on the swing so I can sing some songs,” says the kid. It’s true: the higher he’s pushed, the louder he sings.

“It’s six thirty twelve meters o’clock,” says the same kid. Now I’m wondering, since this must also be true, how so.

@liw Fortunately, test speed and test reliability usually needn’t be incompatible goals. Unfortunately, people usually write a lot of integration tests.

Happy (?) Monday! Nearly 20 people have already joined the brand new shapemywork.com Slack. Several have already made their first wiki edits — some in a browser, some with git push.

If you're having a workday, how's it going so far? What's going well and what's not?

When's the last time so many of us needed to share knowledge and experience working in #distributed teams in environments we semi-control?

My sister is a doctor at an #NYC hospital. They need your help, as creatively as you can give it, to obtain PPE.

Do you have some? Do you know local businesses that might? Could you make masks and face shields?

We're all learning how to work #remote, with or without #agile. We're all looking for new tricks and tools that might help.

Come share what you know, find what you need, and help keep it all organized at http://shapemywork.com — a wiki whose time has finally come.
