Join us behind the scenes of a truly unique TV production, as NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, tests out replacing an extensive control room and dozens of screens with just four VR headsets. (En norsk versjon av denne artikkelen finnes her) – Are you guys on the moon, or what? This is the immediate response […]
“It is unpleasant knowing that others, that you don’t know, are able to track you via Bluetooth. It never crossed my mind”, an individual the NRK has identified through their headphones says.
There are 160 apps on my phone. What they’re actually doing, I don’t know. But I decided to find out. This is an English translation, read the original here. I have a feeling these apps are spying on me. Well, not listening in, but that they’re keeping track of where I am at all times. […]
Mobile applications are not easy to quality control. As the system grows in complexity, it becomes increasingly easy to break a portion of the app and overlook this during manual testing sessions. This holds true for both UI elements and the data they present. I will be focusing on how we do instrumentation testing at […]
If you’re asking me, The Daily is the best news format available today. But how can something based on yesterday feel just as fresh tomorrow? I think that’s actually part of the secret sauce. Let’s examine the sound of The New York Times more closely.

How would you place the months on a circle?
Throughout several days in the end of June, over 20 ships reported problems with GPS reception in the Black Sea. According to experts, the problems were probably a result of an attack on the GPS infrastructure.
The first post I wrote on architecture is really abstract, vague and lacking of context. In this blog post I will discuss the principles of alignment between problem space vs solution space, autonomous teams and how strategy should be the driver for architecture. Instead of being general I will discuss a recent case-study from NRK Radio. […]
The architect is possibly the most disputed and poorest understood role in software. We do not even agree what architecture is, so how could we possibly agree on what an architect is supposed to do. Developers frequently challenge the idea that we need architects at all. If we do not really know what an architect […]
