Wearable Intelligence is now parsable!
Wearable Intelligence is now parsable!
We began with the realization that the overwhelming majority of the global workforce — spanning industries from energy, manufacturing…, construction, logistics, life sciences, and more — are still relying on paper and walkie talkies to get their jobs done. How frustrating for the workers and their employers alike. ¶ Our assumption at the time was that since these workers needed to use their hands to do their jobs, if we wanted to give them a real-time, digital collaborative solution, we’d have to put a computer on their body. So Wearable Intelligence was born.parsableFeb 3
React Full Stack Tests and Continuous Delivery Part 1/4: Nightwatch
Plenty of great ink has been spilled over unit testing React components and Redux reducers et al, but we had a lot of difficulty finding…meaty posts about settings up proper full-stack integration tests for the modern JS stack. ¶ This is article 1 in a 4-part series: ¶ Nightwatch and API Calls for Clean, Tight, Isolated Full Stack Tests ¶ Saucelabs for Manual & Automated Cross-Browser Selenium Testing ¶ Gulp, AWS, and Terraform for Effortless Continuous Delivery ¶ Circle CI to Automate All the Things ¶ Our setup was particularly tricky because we have a handful of fully decoupled backend services and two React apps sharing…

What does this financing do to my ownership?
It’s fundraising season (it’s always fundraising season), and I’m finding myself helping my awesome entrepreneur friends navigate the…exciting “what does this do to my cap table” simulation process. ¶ There are some great pro-forma cap table simulators on the web (props particularly to VentureHacks, the godfather of cap table simulators). ¶ That said, I’ve run into a few questions that the existing cap table simulators culled from the wisdom of the internet couldn’t easily answer: ¶ What happens if I have a post-money option pool target but still have some Unallocated Options?

How (and Why) To Write an Awesome Commit Message (or PR)
Writing a good commit message is a great way to capture the logic that’s going into your work as you work. Sometimes this might seem like…unnecessary work, because the person who is reviewing your code already knows the reasons why you’re doing what you’re doing. Perhaps you’re the only one working on the code base. So you just write something very short instead of a good commit message. Who cares? Think about all of these people: ¶ Someone on your team you didn’t expect to review your work has some free cycles, but looks at it, doesn’t understand what is going on or why and doesn’t review your work.

Measuring Velocity: A Survey of Microsurveys
Here at Parsable, we want to build an amazing culture and work environment. Transparency is king around here, so standups, retrospectives…, all-hands meetings, and OKRs are integral to how we operate. ¶ One common topic of discussion is our velocity: How can we move fast and not break things. Our velocity is the result of a lightweight process that reduces blockers and promotes awareness. ¶ And, we always want to move even faster, so as a team we iterate on the process itself. To see whether we are improving, we need to be able to measure that velocity.
