Interesting things worth having a look at
I also stumbled upon the following news items and I thing they were way too interesting to be ignored, but they were also not fitting in the normal episode structure.
The #100DaysOfProjects challenge
One major challenge developers face with their projects is consistency - staying on track and keeping yourself accountable. That's where the community comes through, offering support and encouragement.
The most recent initiative is the 100 Days of Projects. This is the brainchild of Ceora Ford and it has been already embraced by a lot of people.
