- Does size matter in Pull Requests: #Analysis on 30k Developers
-
Yes, it does.
- Gateway API v1.0: GA Release
-
I went through several pre-release versions as part of my "Accessing Kubernetes from the outside" demo. Nice to see it’s stable now.
- Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive
-
I’m a happy Signal user and I love its built-in privacy. I donated; consider donathing as well.
- OpenAPI for Everybody
-
Light and easy introduction to OpenAPI.
- Goodbye DevRel
-
Many developers go the DevRel path after some years, but the way back is much more rare. The author is going this way back and explains why. Some points resonate with me, so absolutely not.
- Donkey code
-
Explicit semantics for the win!
- The False Dichotomy of Monolith vs. Microservices
-
Quite a few good points, with sadly too much fascination for microservices. They are definitely not a developers' utopia.
The fun part is that the so-called "hybrid approach" is very similar to the oneI advocate for in my post Chopping the Monolith. Pragmatism always wins over ideology.
- General characteristics of a Field CTO
-
Seems like a nice job!
- GQL - Git Query Language
-
GQL is a query language with a syntax very similar to SQL with a tiny engine to perform queries on .git files instance of database files, the engine executes the query on the fly without the need to create database files or convert .git files into any other format, note that all Keywords in GQL are case-insensitive similar to SQL
- Do You Really Need an API Gateway?
-
TL;DR: Yes. Why use a piece of software you don’t control when you can build things yourself?
- Awesome Nginx
-
Include OpenResty modules, which you can integrate in Apache APISIX
- Treat security as a risk
-
Security is the poster child of a Non-Functional Requirement: most people don’t care until the proverbial fecal matter hits the rotary propeller. Consequences can range from losing reputation to legal liability to putting the business out. In my post on running unsecured code, I concluded that you should treat security as a risk - and left it at that. I think it warrants a dedicated post.
