Maybe you have a good idea but you need to work on that relationship first I wrote about this in my latest blog post: nicolalindgren.com/is-it-the-re...

Is It the Relationship or the Idea that's the Problem?
I share some mental models I have on relationships, ideas and how I think people view others. These can be useful when introducing new ideas.

I liked how @martin-n.bsky.social encourages his team to use Quality Criteria to categorises bugs and test cases. Useful for teams to see what types of risks are being addressed (and in turn what are not covered). @oredev.org

You go a conference and your manager asks you what did you pick up from there. Please note that ‘I need to read the slides’ is not a great response. They usually want to know if anything was good enough to catch attention to remember. Being happy you got out, go where contents are interesting.

Does anyone know how to highlight an active tab in CSS? (I want readers on my blog to know which tab they are currently on easily) I've been trying to google this to no avail. My blog is built with Hugo. Below you can see what I have tried so far. (Later, I will try and make my nav bar sticky)

"We often think about quality as costing something - extra processes, extra work. But a lack of quality may be far more expensive if we don’t consider both tangible and intangible costs. There is loss of opportunity, or erosion of trust and reputation." - @lisacrispin.bsky.social and Janet Gregory
