As much as I like RSS, it has indeed a few issues. It's important to keep them in mind.

I don't quite subscribe to some of the terms used (even though I see the point of not calling this API). Still I think this is a very good way to approach design, it's also why I like TDD, the tests force you to see how the code is used. If it ain't pretty there's a problem.

None of this looks like definitive research results on the topic. Still, there are quite a few weak signals pointing in the same direction.

Now this is a really strange story... amazing how she managed to be so successful and stay under the radars for so long!

OK, unexpected introduction, still the advices are sound: teach, delegate, handle the hard cases.

Discusions around a fascinating and very important class of errors in distributed systems.

Couple of interesting tips. I like how it challenges the usual mythical man-month quote. Indeed sometimes adding people might help, if the conditions are right.

OK, now that's a surprising bit of DNS history.

Polars looks like an interesting alternative to Pandas in the industrialization phase of a data processing pipeline. The performance difference are really notable with larger volumes. I'd be interested to see how much of it is lost when using its Python API though.

Let's hope we'll indeed see more indie game creators moving to Godot, it's a neat engine.

Definitely this, showing care is the best thing you can do in services. Otherwise you can only do a mediocre job.

It feels a bit like cumulating aphorisms and "laws" to prove the point. Still it's nice to know them at least for the general culture.

Disgusting practices... unlawful too... this company is really an overgrown parasite.

I so much agree with this. Interviews are just better one on one. Mind the stress of the candidate.

Definitely a cool trick. Not really practical yet due to the performance and differences of behavior in the various browsers. Hopefully his will get solved at some point.

I admit I secretly wish for an IRC revival... been using lesser solutions too much for my taste.

I'm not sure the boundaries are a clear as laid out in this article. That said it's an interesting way to frame things. Also, clearly it's at the intersection of the so called tribes that the most interesting things happen.

Interesting paper about the gradual typing experiments done around Static Python. Shows a few interesting properties. I wonder if some or most of it will find its way back to CPython.

Looks like a nice tool to handle websites lacking a RSS feed.

Likewise I'm more and more unconvinced about the unit vs integration tests distinction. It's likely a continuum between them. I like the proposed axes for classification here. I wish they'd be a bit more orthogonal though.
