What Makes My GitHub Account Stand Out? 🧐

1. Architecture Design Records (ADR) Website 📒

A website documenting any decisions around my projects on GitHub. It is crucial to know the context and tradeoffs behind a decision to understand it fully. Read my ADRs

2. Tech Radar Website 💭

This tech radar is used to track and manage the technologies utilized in my personal GitHub projects. It helps in:

Visualizing Progress: Providing a clear snapshot of the current state and evolution of the technologies in use.
Guiding Decisions: Assisting in making informed decisions about which technologies to adopt, trial, or reassess.
Documenting Journey: Keeping a record of the technological journey, showing what has been tried, what is being used, and what has been put on hold.

This tech radar ensures that I maintain a structured approach to technology adoption and usage, aligning with best practices and future goals for my personal projects. This originates from Thoughtworks. View my technologies

3. What's the Damage (WTD)? 💰

It is always fascinating to know the cost of running an application, especially when using cloud services. There will be a WTD section within each repository README that highlights the expected or current cost of running the software.

4. Release Stage Badge 🚀

This describes the current stage the software is in. Possible values are:

Proof of Concept (PoC): An initial demonstration to verify that a concept or theory is feasible.
Development: The stage where the actual product is built and initial features are implemented.
Alpha: Early testing phase where the product is tested internally for functionality and major issues.
Beta: Testing phase where the product is released to a limited audience for real-world exposure and feedback.
Release Candidate (RC): A version that is potentially ready for final release, pending final testing and bug fixes.
General Availability (GA): The product is officially released and available to all users.
End of Life (EOL): The product is no longer supported or maintained, and users are advised to upgrade or switch to a newer version.

This can be found in the repository README.
