Hello Hello!

Today I bring to you how to write good documentation, how to have productive 1-1 meetings, and how to improve the performance of site images.
✍️ Rare is the developer who's naturally good at taking notes. In the company I work, we struggle to keep business rules documented properly and in a way that it can be maintained by the whole team.
It is not easy, but it is important as people leave companies all the time and their knowledge goes with them if it has not been written somewhere.
This article provides some guidance on how to take notes and document knowledge.
📅 1-1 (pronounced as "one-on-one") meetings are scheduled conversations that managers and team members have on a weekly or biweekly basis to see how we are doing. I have a 1-1 with my manager once a week and, as a team leader, I have 1-1 with my team members too.
I thought I was doing well on my meetings, but this article opened my mind to what I could improve. Even if you are not working in the field right now, this will give you an idea of what to expect once you get a job. You can even ask during a job interview if you will have weekly 1-1 with your manager. Always good to ask questions during interviews.
Improve image performance on websites
🤳 Images optimization is usually an afterthought of systems and sites. I admit myself as I was rebuilding my business site the other day, I didn't stop to think about the size, quality and how optimized the site's images were.
This article will show the best image format these days to use on sites and how to load them so that your visitors won't see a blank page while trying to access your site.
My personal update:
🦸 Comicon: My daughters and I went yesterday to Toronto Comicon. So crazy. So many people. The highlights were the cosplay costumes and the celebs, which were not that many, but Andy Serkis, the actor of Gollum from "The Lord Of The Rings"/"My Precious", was there - I didn't pay $150 for his autograph though.
🥑 I bought some tasty avocados this week and started to enjoy eating them more. However, after watching Rotten I realized there is so much conflict going on behind the scenes to get them on my table. I won't stop eating, but it made me think about checking where are they coming from.
🧊 I love this time of the year. Oh... the anticipation of spring, and the sound of snow melting.

Cheers, hasta la vista and bye!
