   I've always thought that dependabot was busy-work, a waste of time. This article makes a good point that drives it home: Alarams that aren't real make all alarms useless. Dependabot is especially painful in non-typed languages (Py

   I’ve been into nutrition for a few years now, with my entry point originally being paleo. I have no medical training. Paleo has been shown to be off base, but eating a low carb diet and limiting gluten is a fine diet. Some of the nonsense i

   Why do you think constraining the reading width of a text column means it won't change as you resize your browser? Don't confuse your preferences with how far apart human eyes are. Your preference isn't relevant here.

   Don't confuse constraining an entire website's width for constraining the text reading width. You can gracefully have maximum reading width text columns with other content to the left and right of it to maximize real estate. Also,

   Not explicitly mentioned here, but worth bringing up: Text width should always be constrained to a maximum width to optimize for human reading. Every book ever printed has text with set within the same range for a reason. Full width text gu

   Could someone summarize this article? This article is condescending and very poorly written, I can't stand to try to finish it.

    Please understand that Zulip is nightmare software and it's absolutely not a replacement for useful productivity team software. Zulip is a joke (and an unfunny joke at that) for so many reasons. I've worked at three companies that

    It's weird, this is an advertisement for these companies, but I would only mainly care about point 4 ("the business"), and company values. The rest seem immature, like from the perspective of someone just leaving college look

    This is why I love the disable javascript plugin for Chrome. One click and terrible sites like these are tamed. uBlock origin is also useful to block sticky headers.

    I'm happy my team switched off asdf, it's not ready for prime time. It has baffling bugs, like selecting the wrong version of installed tools. It introduces asdf specific problems that you have to debug to use it for daily activit

    As much as possible, build horizontal, functionality based services. As much as possible, avoid coding anything business specific into your core. Avoid product names, role names, user types, etc, in your code, databases, classes, files, API

    "Domain Driven Design" is very poorly written. It's 500 pages of small print with small margins, so realistically it's closer to 750-1,000 pages. Evans is a terrible, verbose writer. I read Domain Driven Design, but I ca

    DDD is a poison to the mind and business growth. Keep the domain at the user configuration level where possible, not locked in to service design. Build domain agnostic, functionality based services. You shouldn't need to channel engine

    My favorite part of this video is how it accidentally shows the benefits of silly names: "Bingo knows everyone's name-o" is clever and easy to understand what it does. If this was called the "name service" no one wo

    Maybe, except there's not much downside. You also save significant time, because engineers trying to come up with the name of a service can be a drawn out and painful exercise, especially if it's a new service where you won't

    After a few more years where you have to scale these systems and redesign what services do and create competing ones that exist in parallel, you may find yourself back in support of non-descriptive names.

    I really like the comparison to variables/classes because it shows how poorly descriptive service names work. Services contain hundreds to millions of variables, classes, and lots of features, layers, etc. Comparing a service name to a

    AirBnB doesn't allow you to name microservices descriptively. It makes sense because it doesn't scale. After the 10th "SMS Service" is created, no one knows what any of them do. And that's kind of the point of micr
