I hear Sam Newman’s - Monoliths to Microservices is worth a read.

My wife didn’t understand why I got so excited reading this article.

Heads up if you’re using Alpine images to host your services or run build pipelines. Alpine’s packages are going to be less current unless some others maintainers are found to pick up the slack.

Hello there,...

Was digging through a project at work today where some guy in 2014 made 100+ commits in a single day and the only one that had a comment said “upgrading to v4.0”.

I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?...

I’m a dev. I’ve been for a while. My boss does a lot technology watch. He brings in a lot of cool ideas and information. He’s down to earth. Cool guy. I like him, but he’s now convinced that AI LLMs are about to swallow the world and the pressure to inject this stuff everywhere in our org is driving me nuts....

Why is it so in mobile development that 90% of projects does not have proper architecture, and when there is one, devs complain about it. I don’t see it being a case for other technologies of development, only mobile. In mobile the project always has spaghetti code, barely any abstraction it is developed just to be finished as...

I accidentally discovered that both “cd …” and “…” work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I’m using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I’m pretty sure this isn’t a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??...

I used to be a lurker of r/C_programming where people would ask questions and get answers. It mostly consisted of students wanting to get a human answer to their problem....

I’ve played around with Nim before, and thought some of the features such as default values were quite helpful, so it’s quite nice that 2.0 is now officially released!

This seem quite counter intuitive and to be bloating the project: i’m trying to install tsdoc linter, but npm adds like other 50 packages alongside with it, is this the expected behaviour? Why is it so?...

Does anyone here use Exercism? I’ve started using it to learn Elixir, and it seems to be good. I’m thinking about having my kids use it as well for Python and JS/TS....

I find this really useful since it hides most of the ads and other annoyances GitHub has now. Luckily I don’t really use GitHub that much but when I’m forced to interact with it, this makes it more pleasant experience.

insomnia just enshittified itself and requires cloud login like postman, and force upgrades you from the old version even if you disable updates. this blocked me at work today....

I have never dug into low level things like cpu architectures etc. and decided to give it a try when I learned about cpu.land....

Was looking through some code today, and found something that highlights my biggest struggles in programming, it’s compound words and casing. Had identifiers such as…...

Hey there everyone, I am back with v1.1 of my Latex Template for making D&D Item Cards. I received one major point of feedback from multiple people in the fediverse: make an option for fixing the card dimensions for easier printing and distribution/storage at the table. So that is exactly what I did!...
