   I'm polishing up a (mostly) headless API-first user management system to release into the wild as a paid product. Over the years I've written 5 different user management systems for various companies I've worked for, using 5

   I post this as an example of a major project's release process in hopes of spurring some discussion about what should and should not be a good release process. Please note that my goal is not to criticize Kafka - which has a lot of his

   Three recommendations. For general static website needs, just use Hugo https://gohugo.io/ For API documentation I recommend Slate. Nice three column layout which allows you to include code/curl examples for multiple la

   There's an excellent account of how the US forces in Vietnam forgot and re-learned the lessons of WW II urban warfare during the Tet offensive in the battle for Hue in Mark Bowden's "Hue 1968: A Turning Point of the American

   I have to violently agree with this (consistent builds). All the infrastructure with index, notary, mirror, etc. is nice, but at the end of the day you have to fetch some external code, verify it, lock it down in some vendor directory, and

   This is the perfect place to recommend "History of the Space Shuttle, Volume Two: Development of the Space Shuttle, 1972-1981" by T. A. Heppenheimer. An excellent account of a nation-scale engineering project and all the myriad en

   I was going to suggest you look at OKlog [0] but it seems that the project is recently archived and no longer maintained. A pity because I really like its simple and minimalistic design. It does still work of course and the code is all ther

    I think the question is a bit too broad because every form entry application has many dimensions you need to think about. On the one hand if all you need is a simple form which gets shoved into a DB then every web language/framework ma

    Anybody interested in an excellent history of the WW II European bombing campaigns should pick up “Bomber Command” by Max Hastings. I covers everything from technology, to strategy, to ethics, and more. Top notch history book. https:/
