The Boring Fund - Open Collective We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin

The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) Β£200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.

Happy Petrov Day to those who celebrate. On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov made the correct decision to not trust a computer.

I've attached a short clip from a reenactment of the situation in the documentary The Man Who Saved the World.

When I did my agile training, many years ago, the instructor made of point of saying that agile isn't for every organisation. And listing some pre-conditions for it to work. What do you think the pre-conditions are for content design to work?
