I Just Need a Programmer

Interesting. I had this feeling early in my career; I thought that this behavior was a thing of the past and that the situation has evolved a lot. I guess it probably depends on the country.

Weird things engineers believe about Web development

TIL: Multi-Page Applications. It seems software development is stuck in a never-ending loop.

Fuzzing in Software Engineering

A good introduction to fuzzing

An Overview of Distributed PostgreSQL Architectures

As always with distributed systems, you need to choose the trade-offs that work in your context. There’s no silver bullet.

Fully Automated Releases for Rust Projects

Interesting description. For the record, you can benefit from replacing Dependabot with Renovate; the latter can auto-merge some commits, depending on your configuration, without an additional third-party tool.

Lambda Lambda Lambda

The body of the post is about C++'s improvement on lambdas. Yet, the start shows lambdas in many different languages on a simple case. Quite interesting.

Bitcoin : un hack inattendu sème le chaos sur le marché crypto

Just LOL.

From Paratrooper to Prodigy: Student Types I’ve Met in 5 Years of Teaching Programming

I don’t know if I’d have used the same typology, but for sure I recognize some archetypes.

Writing Robust Code via Idempotence

A sane reminder

Four Core Functions of API Gateway
  • Connecting
  • Filtering
  • Governing
  • and Integrating
Git Notes: git’s coolest, most unloved­ feature

the short of it is: they’re cool for appending notes from automated systems (like ticket or build systems) but not really for having interactive conversations with other developers (at least not yet)

I’m A Developer Not A Compiler

Great minds think alike: a couple of years ago, I had the exact same rant.
