Last week Docusaurus released version 3.0.0 and we managed to upgrade our blog without many issues.

As said before, we are still happy with Docusaurus as our blogging platform. However, Docusaurus being a static page generator, it comes with a few challenges in regard to scheduling and publishing blog posts.

When we created our @bitexpert@rheinneckar.social Mastodon account, we were not sure how toots can be scheduled in advance. In the early days, we used one of the Mastodon Crossposting tools, but when that tool was shut down, we were unsure how to deal with the situation.

Tech changes, quite rapidly. Coming across a blog post that covers outdated information happens frequently to me. Years ago, I came across a blog that displayed a "This blog post might be outdated banner" and I liked that approach.

Today, we are finally starting to share our Techradar publicly. What is a Techradar?

The Techradar gives us an objective assessment of our technology portfolio which includes 4 key focus areas: Languages & Frameworks, Methods & Patterns, Tools, and Platforms & Operations.

Since we are using Open-Source solutions in our daily business, we contribute to Open-Source projects and maintain our own set of Open-Source tools. Our employees can use their Learn&Grow time budget to contribute to any Open-Source project they like.

In our daily life as developers, we often do code reviews for changes by the other team members in projects. Until a few months ago the feedback was in pure text form and has often led to longer feedback loops because the intention of the written feedback was not always clear enough. Additionally, it was not directly visible, if there were any blockers, which would have to be resolved before the changes could be merged.

Ever wondered about our favorite tools to work with, our awesome bitExpert customers & partners, or the organizations that we support? Look no further.

#24bits means 24 fun & inspiring posts for the next 24 days covering all the things that are important to us. We are pretty sure there will be some surprises for you even if you think you already know us well :)

Don't miss it and follow us here on our blog or on our various social media channels like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Mastodon. We'd appreciate a like, a follow, or just a nice comment with your thoughts.

An interview about the work of the PHP Chapter

PHP is the server-side programming language that powers most of our customer projects. It is part of our toolchain since bitExpert was started in 2003. Over the years PHP has evolved a lot, it is far away from being the scripting language it used to be some 20 years ago.

We took this opportunity to talk about this great language with our PHP chapter lead, Holger Dörner.

An interview about the work of a Senior Intrexx project manager

Today we talk with our Senior Intrexx project manager Theodor Barca about the different areas that Intrexx can cover in a company, about the limits of this technology, and about the daily work of an Intrexx project manager. He will tell us how he first heard about this application and how it has steadily enriched his team's customer projects and workflow.
