Jag älskar Sverige, för att jag fick växa upp i ett av världens mest toleranta och trygga länder. Jag blir arg, när jag ser hur importerad rasism förstör vårt land.
Den som vill skydda Sveriges mångfald, måste bekämpa den mäktigaste källan till intolerans i Sverige: islamismen

Jag tror att du inte förstått ordet ”generalisering” än.
Rickard påstår inte att ALLA muslimer utgör en fara. Islamismen gör det, och väldigt många muslimer står bakom politisk islamism.
DU generaliserar, och börjar prata rasism, så fort någon vågar kritisera islamism

Bro, den tiden när man kan avsluta en diskussion med anklagelser om islamofobi och rasism i Sverige är förbi. Att vilja undvika upprättandet av ett kalifat i Sverige är inte islamofobi. Att vilja stänga ute islamister är inte rasism. Tvärtom: vi skyddar oss från importerad rasism

Always build a monolith, unless you’re a pro, then also build a monolith. If you’re a pro and you’re building stuff that MAAAAANY people use, still build a monolith. If you’re a software ninja and you build stuff that millions will use, OK you can build microservices.

Call me a nerd if you want.
One of my favorite things in life is a slow Saturday afternoon at home, programming and pumping the music loud
I enjoy outdoor stuff and sports too, but my Saturdays working on Schedule-X just have a special place in my heart

What a milestone!
Schedule-X just reached 500 stars on GitHub, merely 19 days after the release v1.
So thankful for the progress this project is making. Also thankful for all the great feedback I've received, as well as the first few code contributions.

It has become obvious to me, that an open source project without marketing, is just a private repository with public access. Spent the past 7 months building. Now it’s time to learn how to reach more devs and software firms.
Thanks for the tip

I would say, hard way: become a great dev and learn how to deliver value, while leaving a positive impact on the team you’re working with
Easy way: learn how to talk bullshit and make it sound convincing
