Le peloton

Le peloton

Few years ago I went trough a massive frustration. My team aligned with the rest of the company in using the Agile methodology. Initially the team decided to use Scrum then it switched to a sort of kanban. However even both approaches failed miserably dropping the team in utter chaos. I remember the daily standups. It was like playing a stage role, people stated the tasks for the day knowing that that task would be not the one the will work on it.
New blog platform

New blog platform

Five years ago I decided to start a blog on the topic I like the most, PostgreSQL. After evaluating the different platforms I decided to use blogger, as I needed something very basic. Over these years I discovered how blogger is limited, in particular when writing documents containing source code. For example, book’s chapters are pretty rubbish, despite the efforts I made to write them. In most of the cases I had to take screenshots of the code and paste it as image to avoid the formatting to be scrambled.
