   > I just wish more projects took the time to making this page more useful. When you create a "good first issue", think of it as paying it forward. You enter a contract with a fragile newbie; be precise, helpful and unassuming.

   I don’t follow. Cybersecurity has always been about reducing the risk of costly cyber attacks. That hasn’t changed. It’s not like suddenly companies will stop caring that their software has been locked down by ransomware, or that their data

   I pay $3/mo or whatever for Bitwarden family. It’s wonderful. My wife and I can access all our passwords (and OTP codes!) in one spot. I grouped passwords into folders like “Health” and “Finances”. It has taken us far.

    Casey gives a history of the concepts behind object-oriented programming, including some surprising appearances of “modern” anti-OOO principles, like discriminated unions. Interestingly, OOP wasn’t originally built to solve problems of scal

    Hey this looks cool. Although, I seem to remember a cost issue with streams built on S3. Didn’t Amazon Video move from serverless to a monolith because they were trying to use S3 like they would Kafka?

    I like that “one note per issue/resolution” thing. I have an .md in our company’s main internal app’s repo which is just a bunch of tips and patterns for doing DevOps tasks. At the bottom is a section called “## Useful Shell Script,” a

    I believe Fly.io deploys some Gleam in prod. I tried playing with Gleam for a bit, but I got stuck trying to make the Actor Model make sense. It’s Gleam’s solution to mutable state, inherited from Erlang and the BEAM. It takes so much code

    I apologize for this sidebar. I don’t have much to contribute to the technical content. It was an interesting read. You use, too many, commas, in your, writing. It’s okay to have a long sentence with multiple phrases. Thanks for sharing you
