  • No perfect solution
    Sep 12 2024

    Benedikt comes back from a short vacation. Benedicte talks about their struggles with estimated arrivals at Whee.

    • EmberFest

    Prior to his vacation in Munich last week, Benedikt and the Userlist team pushed a few of their upcoming features into production. He’ll also be meeting Leo for the first time in person this week at EmberFest in Dublin.

    With so many factors that might affect the estimated arrivals of their rented bikes, Benedicte and the Whee team are looking for better solutions to this roadblock. She also shares her observations while she watches Lillian and the other neighborhood kids work on their lemonade stands.

    Benedicte and Benedikt talk about their hobbies.

    • EmberFest
    • Cards Against Artisans

    Now that the school year has started, Benedicte is enjoying a freer mental space. With this, she decided that her focus project for next quarter will be “Lovely Everyday Life” so she can do activities that make her everyday life lovelier. Benedicte also recently attended Laravel Live Denmark where she talked about the Joy of Side Projects.

    Benedikt is making great progress with his drumming and is thinking about signing up for in-person lessons to further improve his skills. Leo will be talking at EmberFest in Dublin this September and will also be the first time that the two of them will be meeting in person.

  • A not so slow summer
    Aug 8 2024

    Benedikt and Benedicte talk about this year’s unusual summer pace, bug fixing, and more.

    With most people going on vacations during the summer, businesses usually anticipate things to slow down a bit for the season. But unlike previous years, it looks like businesses are not seeing much of a summer slump this year.

    Benedikt and the Userlist team have been chipping away at some small improvements on the product, dealing with weird bugs, and have an upcoming database maintenance.

    Benedicte is also dealing with bugs at Whee and is plowing through dependency hell. She and her Pirate family are also preparing their rustic Airbnb property for the first guest who’ll be staying with them this week.
