If there was a "Manifesto for Empirical Software Development", what might it advocate?

- Data over anecdotes?
- Experiments over debates?
- Skepticism over social proof?
- Hypotheses over opinions?
- Weight of evidence over follower counts?
- Efficacy over "That's how we've always done it"?

Your yearly remainder that @sozip exists (even if I've lost the credentials for the account. oops) and you can use it to offer a cloud native experience (and even a local one) to consume huuuge files compressed as ZIP. More at https://github.com/sozip/sozip-spec

thanks for your thoughts. Indeed I was not planning to do this. It reminded me to chaos engineering just for code review. Of course approaches like this should be agreed on with all devs

To be honest, I'm quite frustrated to not have yet received a honorary Dutch citizenship for all the time I've spent making their damned coordinate transformation work. If that's too demanding, just a honorary citizenship of the municapility of Amersfoort will do

Shoutout to @mapterhorn for those nice terrain tiles. Hill shading looks really nice in the #MOTIS UI!

I hope, we'll have this soon on @transitous 😎
