We are usually thinking about the future but it can be a good exercise to review decisions made in the past and check how well they held up. Inspired by this post, I want to use this post to review some product and technology choices which I pushed forward.

No matter how much we try to look at things objectively: choices are always biased to a certain degree. And it is not about bashing tools or vendors but about critically reviewing things that worked out for us and those that did not. That being said, let’s dive in!

Can Jira make sense in your organization? Sure. Is it overloaded and are there better alternatives? Definitely! Linear is not only great at what it does (helping us to plan and manage software projects effectively) but there is a lot to learn in how they do things (keyboard support, performance, UX design). Linear is worth the price point and we are very happy using it.

Netlify is a great choice for hosting web projects. The Netlifolks created a simple yet solid platform to host any kind of web app. The developer experience is neat, especially when it comes to serverless.
