I’ve been a happy eBay employee for 3½ years now, but a day hasn’t gone by, without me thinking about how it would be to be my own boss. For years now, I have been dreaming about being a software entrepreneur. During the summer holiday, it became clear…
Looking through this year’s program for GOTO Aarhus [http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2014/], I quickly spotted a trend. Even though the Scrum training is there, the usual talks titled something like, “This is how you do Scrum” and “An introduction to Kanban” are missing from this year’s program. Don’…
It should be so easy: NoSQL databases and their schemaless approach to the world. Say goodbye to tables, primary keys, foreign keys, and most importantly – Migration! Unfortunately the reality is not quite as black and white. I’ve been working with NoSQL databases such as Elasticsearch [http://www.elasticsearch.org/…
I’m happy to say that I will attend the GOTO Aarhus conference as a blogger again this year. Last year was a great success with 10 blog posts written in just a few days. I did some preparing last year, something that I probably won’t have time for…

I enrolled last year [https://thomasardal.com/my-danish-developer-conference-2013-program/] as well, but didn’t actually make it to the conference (a lot of anaconda action going on a the toilet 🙁 ). Once again the program looks sweet and a perfect fit for both my day job…
This guide will show you how to share code style settings between your team mates, using a variety of popular tools. I bet you are working as part of a team. Also you are probably not an exact replica of your co-workers, am I right? Some like talking a lot…
Ever wondered how to setup your own NuGet [http://www.nuget.org/] server? nuget.org have a guide [http://docs.nuget.org/docs/creating-packages/hosting-your-own-nuget-feeds] and I actually hosted a couple of feeds that way in the past. At my day job [http://www.ebaycareers.com/] we implement a lot…
Like in 2011 and 2012 it’s December and time for me to sum up the past year. I’m starting to feel a bit less like a zombie, probably because my kids are now 1 and 4 (yay, no more baby stuff! :)). When looking through the list it’s…
