Hey there 😁, Thanks for clicking on this article, it's changing a bit, but I hope you like it 🙂. This week, we're going to talk about social networks, well especially one, it's LinkedIn, many of you read me on the blog, but some of you are on LinkedIn.... Basically, this article was also intended for Twitter (they say you have to say X now), but on X, there's no problem, the algorithm doesn't seem to limit the reach of tweets containing a link (according to my research)...

Hello there! Today's article is going to be quite short, but practical. In my little life as a freelance developer, I have to monitor my customers' applications and websites to make sure they're up and running, including the site you're currently on.... So I don't miss a single incident, the device that alerts me if there's the slightest problem with one of the services I manage is on my wrist... and yes, it's the Apple Watch. Basically, I'm someone who doesn't like notifications; they t...
