After the millennium, I started with Delphi and made a SameGame clone—then became obsessed with card games! 🎴 I shared my games in forums and was super happy that people actually played them.

Just found my first real game on some old floppy discs from around 1999: a Mastermind clone written in QBasic.

I remember being super happy and proud because it was the first project I actually finished instead of stopping halfway to start another idea. 👨🏻‍💻

6/ 💡 Smart testing made CI/CD pipelines more efficient by identifying the minimal set of tests required for each change. This dependency-based approach significantly reduced costs by avoiding unnecessary test runs.

5/ 🏃🏻‍♂️ Execution times were drastically reduced thanks to parallelization through Test List Sharding. This feature allows tests to run across multiple machines, improving runtime.

Cloudgene has been well-tested over the years and serves as the backbone for the Michigan Imputation Server, TopMed Imputation Server, Helmholtz Munich Imputation Server, Mitoverse, and many others.

1️⃣ Build your Nextflow pipeline
2️⃣ Add a simple `cloudgene.yaml` configuration file
3️⃣ Your pipeline can now be installed on any Cloudgene instance, and a user interface is automatically generated for you. No web development knowledge required! 💪

👉 Example: www.cloudgene.io/server/getti...
