That's a good point too often overlooked by people complaining at Wayland. It indeed enable form factors and uses cases that we couldn't address with X11.

Looks like another certification circus is about to begin...

A follow up on the Dropbox sync engine rewrite, or why they introduced brotli compression.

Good insight into why Dropbox rewrote its sync engine for desktop clients.

It's likely the best explanation of the YAGNI acronym I know. Explains quite well when it applies or not.

This is still a valid approach. I regularly encounter cases where the type tag pattern would have been welcome.

This is still a good framework to think about what motivate developers in a team. Not everyone is the same.

A talk from Casey Muratori who is pushing his ideas on software architecture. This one is very interesting on the long history detour it does. Shows well how we keep rediscovering stuff which sometimes go back to the early times of computer science.

Neat little introduction to use your shell properly.

Don't just blindly apply dailies. Make sure they really solve a problem in your team.

You have to be willing to experiment and adjust in order to truly be agile. Otherwise you indeed just do dailies and call yourself agile.

Neat tools to keep retrospective fresh. If people settle too much in habits they quickly become dull.

Nice check list, there's more to project life than churning out tickets.

There is some truth to this. Self-hosting isn't for everyone just for the skills and compromises it requires. We need more widely available solutions without the corporate overlords.

Nice explanation on the options for anti-aliasing when rendering using SDFs

This is really a neat trick. We should have more such self-documenting scripts indeed.

A change in culture and political will is indeed necessary. The relationship between organisations and US cloud providers isn't healthy.

This is indeed a nice way to setup some new habits on the command line.

Nice way to improve the set -e output. I guess I'll use it in my next scripts.

Wow, this was a really bad index corruption indeed.
