Do you book dedicated time in your Sprints for refactoring?

Damn half the internet is down again - including Downdetector

Downdetector is multi-region but has a singular dependency on Cloudflare

Is Cloudflare down again?

Estudiar merece la pena. Un informe de CRUE confirma que la formación universitaria reduce el paro muy por encima de la media europea. En la Universidad de Oviedo hacemos ciencia de calidad mundial.
