We would like to express our gratitude to the PMI Romania Chapter for inviting Lee R. Lambert, one of the PMP founders, to the PM Perspectives 2023 Conference.

I can't really recall when we started blogging initially, but we rebooted the bitExpert back in October of 2006, and ever since we migrated all content to newer blogging platforms. Back in the days we used b2evolution as blogging platform, moved to Wordpress, moved to Silverstripe Blog, and finally last year transitioned to Docusaurus.

AI and services like ChatGPT have been all over the place since last year. Every day, new AI-powered services appear on the horizon. How can we use AI (or ChatGPT specifically) in our daily work or our applications?

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 Coming across a blog post that covers outdated information happens frequently to me. Years ago, I came across a blog that displayed a "This blog post might be outdated banner" and I liked that approach.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