Hi again, friends! Every industry has its pros and cons, that goes without saying. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could just wave a magic wand and solve the most glaring of your industry’s problems? Well, I’m giving you one! For me (in the tech world, at least) I would fix the problem of representation. (Startups by women…

I searched for this but could not find an answer. I want to be notified (via email) every time a new task is added to our JIRA project. I don't want to follow every single task, but want to be aware of when there is something new that has been added. What is the best way for me to do this? (@Peter Van de Voorde suggested…

I don't know about y'all, but there are definite nuances to attending a digital conference. It's great that it is accessible around the world, but it's harder to adjust to the conference time zone, tricky to block out dedicated time when your Slack and email are right there, and not really possible to walk around…

If you could design a new challenge to be added to the program, what would it be? @Thomas Deiler had some great ideas in this post and we are investigating some of them for the future. We'd love more! The ideas can be silly or serious, so let's brainstorm. What action would the badge be for? Who would be eligible? Would it…

Today’s question is: if you can only watch five TV shows for the rest of your life, what would they be? They can be shows on or off the air, miniseries or sports events count. Do you go for longevity? Quality? Rewatchability? I put waaaay too much thought into this and here are my picks: Saturday Night Live This is the…

Before I get to the request for your ideas, I want to highlight a bug in the peer kudos experience that you may be running into. As you may have already seen, the search in the recognition widget cannot handle spaces or special characters. We are working to fix this bug! I'll keep you posted on our progress. In the…
