Novulo interview highlights
For the lazy (or busy) ones, some highlights of the interview:
- With Novulo, application modeling finally reaches the business domain.
- We want to deliver software that supports the business and not software that is a headache for the business.

In particular, we focused on how to change the language to be able to write shorter OCL expressions. We tried to propose solutions that
would not break the language semantics and compatibility (e.g. by extending and overloading the OCL standard library)
What (some) programmers offer to do for just 5$
Fiverr is the place for people to share things they're willing to do for $5.
If you go to the programming category you can see the list of programming tasks people are willing to do just for 5$. I think we should not sell so cheap!
