Dead Broets Society: The Story Behind the Strange and Bewildering Trend That’s Eating LinkedIn — Fenwick. While LinkedIn has taken steps to mitigate the kinds of extreme engagement writers like Fechter were generating in 2017, broetry might still play favorably to the algorithm—even if your potential audience is more limited. We know that the LinkedIn algorithm—like most social networks—prioritizes “relevant” and “engaging” content. That is, the kind of stuff that gets people to comment and keeps them on the platform longer. Given that broems tend to be longer in length, are usually self-contained (i.e. they don’t link out to other sites), and crucially, get people talking, the LinkedIn algorithm may give them a boost.

But that doesn’t explain why people read—and comment—in the first place. I would argue that while the algorithm certainly plays a role, the bulk of broetry’s success can be attributed to good writing advice taken too far. Remember the parts of a broem that I broke down in our definition above? Let’s have a look at them again. A click-baity, one-sentence opener. Be vulnerable. Software development 450 words per minute - Vincit. "Something's a little bit off here. " That's what I predict your first thought to be upon seeing my cubicle for the first time. There's no screen or mouse in sight. Instead there's a guy hammering away on a keyboard, staring at seemingly nothing. It's only me, and my colleagues can assure you that I'm mostly harmless. I'm a software developer working at Vincit offices in Tampere.

I'm also blind. In this blog post I'm going to shed some light on the way I work. Are you blind as in actually blind? Correct. What are you doing there, then? The same as almost everyone else, that is: making software and bantering with my colleagues whenever the time permits. How do you use the computer? The computer I use is a perfectly normal laptop running Windows 10. Audio Player And here's the same text spoken by an English speech synthesizer: A mouse is naturally not very useful to me so I work exclusively at the keyboard. I spend a good deal of my time working at the command line. How can you code? Please don’t learn to code.

L’obsession du service client chez Captain Train – Jonathan Lefèvre. La vitesse fait tout. Ce n’est même pas un cliché. Je vous ai montré des tweets parce que c’est public, mais on a grosso modo la même chose dans les e-mails qu’on reçoit. Les retours que nous avons sur notre service client portent très majoritairement là-dessus. La. Vitesse. Bon, c’est plutôt intuitif comme concept. Mais même lorsque que nous avons quelque chose de difficile à annoncer (non Monsieur, je ne peux vraiment pas vous rembourser ce billet Prem’s), nous nous sommes vite rendu compte que ça passait beaucoup mieux quand nous le faisions dans des délais extrêmement courts.

Point képi-aïe La vitesse est tellement importante que le temps de réponse médian est devenu notre seul indicateur de qualité pour mesurer la « performance » du support. Non seulement nos clients ont autre chose à faire que répondre à des questionnaires de satisfaction, mais en plus, je trouve cette mesure assez délicate, voire bancale. Nous avons un visage humain Nous parlons comme des êtres humains. Pour de vrai.
