Good exercise of prospective for our field. I don't subscribe to all the analyses in there but the value is in at least starting the conversation about it.

Nice piece on how to handle asynchronous communication in a remote work setup.

Good list of system fonts to use in your CSS.

Excellent answer, really loves how humble Ron Jeffries writings usually are. I like how he doesn't prescribe what to do, but instead describes what happens to him when he does something he shouldn't (or doesn't do something he should). He's definitely human and slips like us all.

An excellent reminder that usability wise, high-tech is not always the best path. It's good to also evaluate low-tech options at every turn. This is important to know the pros and cons of all the options you can pick.
There's also an interesting point in there about how those more constrained technologies in fact force and help designers to focus on the most important user features.

Debatable "feature", bad implementation, dubious community handling... Clearly not a good example to follow from the Go space.

Very cool reverse engineering of the schematics of the infamous Pong game. It had no software and no CPU either. Quite a feat.

A bit on the sarcastic side but there's definitely some truth to it. This definitely goes against the YAGNI principle.

Good advices on using tags properly for versioning.

Interesting opinion. Indeed, as the browsers are packing more features they can deal with more frontend complexity themselves. This is an opportunity to reduce the amount of code in the frontend code at least for some use cases.

Interesting forensic of a supply chain attack targetting crates.io. Especially fascinating to me is how it then tries to target CI build environments as preparation for larger attacks.

Interesting balanced view about Rust. Looks like it highlights strengths and weaknesses properly.

Interesting (although unsurprising) study (I advise looking at the actual paper) about the links between social media and well being. Of course it has a couple of weaknesses, we need more such studies to grow the numbers and reduce the biases.

VLC is really going everywhere. Glad to see it in this new venue.

Indeed, we loath wires... but going wireless has its own set of issues. It never completely breaks but it can easily degrade for no apparent reason which could be anywhere in the stack.

I like it when type systems can express this kind of constraints. It clearly allows to catch mistakes early in the development cycle.

I definitely agree with this. Managing complexity is our trade.

The tone of the article isn't exactly to my liking, sounds "too good to be true" at times ignoring important details driving the choices (despite some warnings early on). Still, depending on the amount of data stored in your database, SQLite looks increasingly viable on the server, replication even coming down the road.

Looks like a very interesting toolkit for low level network related or security related operations.

This is indeed a nice set of tasks to evaluate a frontend tech or your mastery of it. Potentially usable in interviews?
