On the Road Again

Slow & Steady

Benedicte returns to the show from Athens. Benedikt tackles some complexity in a new feature.

• The War of Art — a book by Steven Pressfield
• Seth Godin on "the resistance"
• pgMustard — review Postgres query plans
• MicroConf Growth

After checking in with Brian last episode, Benedicte is back on the show. Her travel isn't slowing down just yet — after she returns from Athens it will be off to America for MicroConf Growth. She's excited to talk to others in the space about growing the POW! team. So far, the decision still feels good. One of her goals is to define an "engine" for POW! similar to the one she has established for Queen Raae. It should help kickstart some increased productivity.

Benedikt had a busy week working on a CSV upload feature. This feature should alleviate some of the customer support work where users have been sending in lots of sheets for import. The data structures differ, the instructions can be unclear — allowing customers to upload and manipulate their data before import should help out. Benedikt also spent some time refactoring which kicked off an interesting discussion about deciding when to refactor.

If you know of ways to speed up Benedikt's testing, shoot us a message!
