You get out of your flying Tesla Model 74 right outside the hangar on the 62nd floor east of the skyscraper, walk by the cafeteria, grab a coffee, and sit down at your desk to start your workday. You open Jira (because it’s 2040 and yes, we still use Jira), just to be faced with an urgent task of developing an application for a customer. Without much thinking, you open your V... Turning Screws - The hidden complexity of easy tasks2024-03-04T00:15:00-03:00 2024-03-04T00:18:22-03:00 https://thamara.dev/posts/turning-screws/ Thamara Andrade Several years ago, I shared enhancements I had made to a script with a colleague, enhancements that would enable many software developers working on the product to have a more productive experience with our benchmark system.
