This is definitely a big deal both for the kernel and for Rust.

Interesting career ladder example. I especially like the various dimensions they focus on.

Good point, this little wisdom from Kent Beck goes further than just code and refactoring.

This should hopefully ease the pain of mixing Rust with other languages.

The most addictive and also tracking you everywhere it can (unsurprisingly). Toxicity at its highest.

This looks interesting. Definitely something to add to the tool belt. Coupled with jq this becomes very powerful.

This! There's definitely something interesting with those very focused devices. The problem though is carrying them + something else for other uses. This adds up quickly.

I definitely agree with this opinion. We definitely don't use state machines enough

Definitely a case of a very interesting bug found in production. In the end, the root cause is the loss of context because people working on the components changed. Never underestimate the knowledge lost when someone leaves.

A little collection of dirty tricks that you should probably not use on Flatpak installs.

This is good news, this provide more venues for improving performances in Python modules next to switching to compiled Rust with something like PyO3. There's clearly a case to be more for not having to rewrite when the codebase was already mostly Python.

Interesting points about complexity. Indeed it's everywhere the problem is when you start to silently (and unwillingly) worship it... coupled with fear of changes this can only lead to piling more and more complexity in your systems.

This is an interesting simple rule so know when to split something, I like it.

This is an interesting way to frame it. I generally talk with people about making sure you got vision and horizon in your product backlog (which then requires adequate grooming). Still this sounds like a simpler to grasp wording here. Probably good for a first approach.

Interesting way to highlight Goodhart's Law. Indeed you can be corrupted by the very system you put in place if if it's mainly driven by metrics. As much as possible, think qualitative, not quantitative.

Interesting interview about some serious usage of Rust in the embedded space. That's where I'd expect it to shine.

This is indeed a concerning move... it's not about legacy, it's about closing an ecosystem.

The death of the floppy disk has been greatly exaggerated it seems. At least for now...

We all know you shouldn't use Google Analytics. Now we also know that if you're in Europe and you're using it, it's probably illegal.

Good reminder of the sometimes uneasy relationship between users and maintainers. This needs to stay healthy. Users need to know their place and maintainers should feel OK saying no to things.
