A couple of good advises in there for a Django project inception.
OK, this is an interesting practice... I do some of that in a less formal fashion, maybe it's worth exploring further.
Interesting set of metrics indeed. As usual the danger lies in how/if you set targets and potentially fuzzy definitions of some of the terms.
Interesting take as usual. Utilization doesn't matter, throughput is what you need to keep in mind.
And this is why you likely need to optimize your data pipelines at some point. There are plenty of levers available.
I didn't know about the Lindy effect, this is an interesting point. Obviously I have a different setup (Plasma has been around longer than XMonad after all) but the overall advice is good.
Good ideas to improve your user stories. I often see not so complete stories, it doesn't stop at the title, there's more to do. The proposed canvas is interesting and definitely helps.
Alright, this definitely escalated beyond imagination. Still it's a fun project.
This is definitely well put, users shouldn't feel entitled. Maintainers do what they can (even if there's a company backing up your favorite FOSS project) and if you use the software for free with no support contract... things will be done when they're done.
Alright, this one looks somewhat concerning...
As always, what really matters in the end is the context
Looks like an interesting tool to simply manage personal servers.
Interesting view on the state of our industry regarding complexity. Don't despair!
Old video. A bit preachy, especially in the beginning, but then covers well the arguments of why counting stories is likely better than estimating them. In my opinion there's a catch that is not covered here though: the quality and granularity of the stories matter.
This is a good thing that the corresponding RFCs keeps being updated.
The current microservices obsession not only invite undue complexity in systems, it also bring unprepared developers into network related traps. This is a nice summary of the common misconceptions around this.
Excellent deepdive about pipes, on the path to optimization we see how perf is used, how memory is managed by the kernel etc. Very thorough.
Interesting conversation around complexity in code bases. I especially like the point about imagination getting out of control and getting us into speculation. This is indeed often a reason for unwarranted complexity. That's why you need to always keep the context in mind to make your choices. Also indeed fascinating to me is our ability to forget and reinvent something which was already there years ago. We really need more frameworks where we understand what's going on all the way through...
Excellent collection of surprising behaviors in Python. If stuck or wondering why something works in a surprising way to you, it's a good place to look.
Interesting interview which explores quite a bit mob programming, where it's coming from, why Woody Zuill pushed for it, how it is done, etc. I didn't expect his opinion on why he thinks the name being controversial actually helped spark the conversation around the practice... Very inspiring how he practiced for years to feel comfortable being on stage. I also love at how humble this person is through and through.
