Nice primer of important characteristics of databases and transactions. With doodles so I'm biased. ;-)

OK, this looks like an interesting release, next to the performance improvements there are quite a few neat new features as well.

Looks like an interesting tool to port code to newer APIs... too bad this seems to be very much Java focused only.

Good set of advices around dicts. This is Python centric but some of it applies to other languages as well. Mind the lack of anti-corruption layer.

It's great to see GitLab be such a public and outspoken champion of remote work. Let's hope more organizations walk the path.

Very good set of advices in my opinion on how to prioritize product work in an organization. It very well accounts for the natural tension between sales/marketing and product/engineering.

This is a good question... not a good outcome overall. Are we really heading that way? Looks like it.

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!
