Sometimes the usage of spreadsheets can be cool. I just stumbled upon this piece a couple of minutes ago. The guy is building a simple online shop on the back of Google Sheets aka spreadsheets. Honestly, it looks promising and why not. If you have ever thought about setting up an own online store with just a couple of products, it might be a good choice for you. Also, I believe more people are familiar with spreadsheets than entering data inside super UI/Ux designed interfaces. Anyways, I hope he succeeds.

I got a couple of responses to yesterdays email saying that framework knowledge isn’t that important and you can pick that always up on the go as a reasonably skilled dev. So, if the job required Spring Boot you could still get it without knowing Spring Boot beforehand if you are skilled enough aka a good dev.

A few weeks ago I launched a side-project of mine, a regional job portal for developers. As with any new app I needed to prefill it with data and on an ongoing basis. It takes time until companies post their directly. For that, the app polls a few APIs for getting job posts. Unfortunately, they still use XML. Yep, no JSON.
