• Automating standups using GPT4 and Github APIs

  We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests. Source: 9 months ago

• Agile / Scrum

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call. The other 3 are run using a tool called Geekbot (Yes scrum masters do hate this) which is basically just a chatbot that sends you the standard standup questions and you can answer whenever you feel like it. This has helped our team heaps due to having such a huge mix of people in our team (Cloud Eng, Database Eng, Software Eng, Network Eng) that... Source: about 1 year ago

• What do you really think of your daily standup?

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: over 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How do you organise your information?

  Personally I use YNAW (You Need A Wiki), which makes you a wiki using google drive, I know obsidian is also good but it just doesn't jive right for me. Source: 7 months ago

• Is it Common Practice to use a “Dev Wiki”?

  I personally use google drive, and use https://youneedawiki.com/ to display it as a wiki. Completely free. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for an oddly specific Wiki service feature. Is there one that does this?

  Is there a wiki that has a sidebar which uses some kind of expandable / collapsable folder structure that makes the taxonomy really clear? Here's an example as used in youneedawiki. I really like how clear and fast it is to see where you are in any particular knowledge branch. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Making the best of GitHub and Google Docs for a new startup

  Trying to nail down what tools we will use as a fully remote team needing to work asynchronously. We will have paid versions of GitHub (Teams) and Google Workspace for email / calendar and docs. I did look at notion, clickup but I honestly think I prefer limiting our spend on an extra tool. What I like about notion is how its got a wiki structure, and this is where G-Docs leaves us short. The performance of... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How do YOU collect your notes and thoughts before writing?

  There's an add-on to Google drive called "You Need a Wiki" that lets you build your own Wikipedia out of folders and Google Docs. The ability to add links between sites and documents makes it an excellent way to organise research and notes. Source: almost 2 years ago
