Wondering if anyone has any idea. I bought a smart led panel (it's not that smart), but it allows dimming. But only through a SmartThings app. And I had to connect it with an outdated SmartThings hub.

But what I really want is to use a HomeAssistant Yellow - but I can't get it to be discovered.

I might be bit early on this, but is anyone else noticing a slow trend away from the just hosting everything in one of the big cloud providers? Or keeping all of your work, data and communications in a single, centralized place that you have no control over?

Most organizations have a loose plan in place for when a production issue takes their app down or when an attacker eventually penetrates a system. In both of these cases A9 in the OWASP top ten is very good advice owasp.org/Top10/A09_20...

Software engineers probably spend more time than most in front of a keyboard. I certainly fall into that category.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been blocking off time for exercise and non-tech reading.

I’m spending less time doing work, but being much more productive while I’m working.

As an engineering leader, it's common to use past experience to lead your team down a specific path.

Before doing so, make sure you're aware of the problem context and the team's experience. It won't help if your recommendations aren't the right fit for the team.

Remember back in the day, when there was the promise of "reusable object oriented code"? When you could build a library of components that would work great and you could just use them everywhere and make countless products out of them?

Ok, so that didn't really work out..
