This. High level OKRs should be set by the company to steer the ship, and engineering OKRs should align with the company OKRs. Thus, the roadmap is defined by the OKRs - I believe that's the whole point.

I could be wrong, but I think Vertx would be a better choice? https://vertx.io/

It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features?

Personally I think that anyone who believes that they're going to die before climate change kicks them in the nuts are in for an almighty shock (unless you're 80).

My prediction is that we have at best 10 years of anything resembling BAU before systematic failure.

Happy reading.

Really? You're looking at the graph, showing a clear and frankly ominous anomaly, especially in the context of the clear wording around "the oceans should be warmest in March, not August", and this is your response? Well done.

Agree! I am in the UK and have an electric bike, but I only use it for trips where I know I can safely store the bike and where I know the roads intimately. The UK needs to solve this, in addition to improving the safety of roads. There's too many pot holes, poor visibility due to people being allow to park pretty much anywhere, and not enough dedicated bike lanes.

IndexDb is not a relational data store. It's much closer to Mongo than it it to Sqlite.

If you want relational tables, joins, aggregations etc, you want something like this (or the original Web SQL that was deprecated).

There is definitely a use case for it.

- The use of AI will become mainstream with your average person using it directly - it becomes the first truly revolutionary technology change since smart phones were invented. Serious social questions start being raised.

- The war in Ukraine will continue on but not conclude, with many more casualties on both sides. Consequentially, the stock price of principal US defence contractors such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman will continue their significant upward trend.

- Once again, CO2 emissions will continue increasing globally. There will likely be some significant food shortages in part of the world.

- The UK will continue its economic descent, with more significant energy price increases and continued inflation.

Agree.
