@beeb Not on my plate, unfortunately.
In Thurgau, if they move away from their Abraxas Java application they need to provide a migration path for the tax history the Java application keeps locally. Also, they have more pressing IT issues than "user experience" (talking for Kreuzlingen), sadly.
The cantons could come up with a common open source base (inspired by existing web-based solutions) for CH and only care about their local customizations. That would save a lot of taxpayer money.

Seit heute kein Problem mehr. #eFisc installieren mit dem #Nix #Package von @painless_software. https://gitlab.com/painless-software/efisc-nix #Switzerland #Swiss #tax #Linux #Java #Abraxas
Looks like the next-generation low-JavaScript coding solution has arrived. Django LiveView, the HTMX competitor that passes HTML via WebSocket. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty with it! 😍 🐍 🐴 https://django-liveview.andros.dev/ by @andros #django #python #lowjs #htmx #websocket

ThomasDas war in der agilen Community los (Woche vom 05.12. – 12.12.)
Wir hinterfragen, ob wir uns mit "Sprints" eigentlich nur kaputt rennen, lachen (oder weinen) über Teams mit 17% Zielerreichung und diskutieren, ob Agile im Zeitalter der "Enshittification" überhaupt noch eine Chance hat. Wenig Theorie, viel schmerzhafte Praxis.
Hier die Highlights 👇

I'm working in a team that just completed a sprint with 17%(!) completion of the planned work. Almost *everything* is spilled over to the next sprint. It's ridiculous.
Large organizations fill sprints to prove they are busy. But what are sprints designed for? To give #confidence! You can't give confidence when you're constantly spilling over.
Just use a #Kanban board to show off how busy you are. Don't engage in #enshittification of #Scrum, treating "spillover" as a chic, must-use word. #agile

Mind-blowing explanation of the current state of #AI and the false promise of #vibe #coding. Read all 10 posts in this enlightening thread! 💡🤯
Nick LockwoodBut the idea that natural language makes it easier for non-programmers to program is a misunderstanding
Programming is not about transcribing English to code, it's the art of turning vague requirements into concrete ones - identifying and filling in the blanks so that an imprecise spec becomes precise
When you "vibe code" you are asking an LLM to do that work - and they are remarkably good at it - but that is not *programming*, because you are not identifying and eliminating those ambiguities
