Stalwart Email Setup via @netopwibby #Development #Webdev #Tech #Email
Stalwart is an all‑in‑one mail server built for JMAP, the ultra‑modern email standard we should be using but the tech industry is cowardly and hella slow to move. Anyhoo! I recently setup a new mail server with Stalwart because updating my aging Mail‑in‑a‑Box instance was unappealing and I wanna use cool new things like JMAP....

Cross-Functional, Self-Organized Teams: Agile's Most Elegant Illusions
After years leading technical teams, mentoring, and watching "best practices" evolve faster than JavaScript frameworks, one thing is clear:
Cross-functional and self-organized teams exist for a noble reason: faster delivery, fewer dependencies, shared ownership.
In theory, it's beautiful.
In practice?
It's a high-cost simulation where everyone is supposed to do everything, while no one has time to do anything well.
You get:
Infinite alignment rituals to summon clarity
Blurred roles, so everyone can blame everyone else
Designers meditating while waiting for requirements
Engineers writing test cases out of guilt, not strategy
Accountability carefully diffused to avoid detection
Cross-functional becomes "multi-contextual cognitive overload".
Self-organization becomes "structureless entropy punctuated by mandatory retros". Everyone is supposed to drive everything, while no one is responsible and no one is guiding.
It’s not that the ideas are bad. It's that they're deployed as sacred buzzwords, unaccompanied by real leadership, constraints, or intent.
No clarity. No focus. Just a shared Google Doc and the illusion of progress.
Great teams don't just self-organize. They are individually deliberately engineered. Cross-functional doesn't mean do everything. It means know what not to do.
Until then, enjoy your next story slicing workshop, and remember:
Autonomy without structure and guidance is just… a fire with no marshmallows.
And yes, I'm probably going to hell now for arguing against the Buzzword Bible.

Okay I've officially started work on the Home Cloud mobile app. This is the first time in about 8 years that I've worked on a mobile app (native, not adaptive web sites).
Honestly it's kinda funny to me how little things have changed, at least on the surface. The tools seem broadly the same, the development flow is the same. Emulators seem to be just as bad lol. I do wish I had an ARM based laptop now...

In another study, Fieldhouse found that past efforts to cut the federal #budget largely spared investments in nondefense #research & #development.
In recent weeks, #scientists & higher #education leaders have tried to rally support among the public & #Congress for continued #funding. On Tues, the #Science Coalition, a group of public & private research #universities, released a report on the role of federal funding in promoting economic #growth.
Such estimates might seem extreme, but they are consistent with other research. A recent paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found that government investments in #research & #development accounted for at least a fifth of #US #productivity #growth since World War II.
https://www.dallasfed.org/~/media/documents/research/papers/2023/wp2305r2.pdf
Even the mildest approach — a 25% reduction in public support for #research & #development — would correlate to a drop in economic output.
#US #GDP, adjusted for #inflation, would be 3.8% smaller in the long term — a decline similar in magnitude to that in the #GreatRecession, which ended in 2009. The drop in output would be much more gradual than that downturn, taking place over years rather than months. But it would also be more lasting.
Deeper cuts could be on the way. As soon as this week, the #Trump admin is expected to propose sharp reductions in discretionary spending, including on #research & #development, as part of the annual budget process.
Economists have warned that such cuts could undermine American competitiveness in areas like #vaccine development, #AI & #QuantumComputing, & could slow #growth in #income & #productivity in the long term.

selfh.st/icons - a curated collection of 4,400+ icons - now supports custom colors (bring your own)! I've developed a (self-hostable) lightweight proxy server that can intercept icon requests and apply custom colors based on a hex color code in the URL parameters.
Check out the post below for more details and be gentle as this is my first public #development project...ever.
