The News

from Patrick Kayongo [alt+shift+b] in programming

So, the plan is to be in an out. Focus Tshidi. I don’t need anything from Dischem. I don’t need that new dress in the Spring Collection at H&M. Just a tray of meat, garlic rolls and juice. Snap. It’s payday weekend and there are such long lines at this Checkers. I’m already late...

You can cheat a test suite with a big enough polynomial

Hi nerds, I'm back from Systems Distributed! I'd heartily recommend it, wildest conference I've been to in years. I have a lot of work to catch up on, so this will be a short newsletter. In an earlier version of my talk, I had a gag about unit tests. First I showed the test...

All code is technical debt

from TokyoDev [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Technical debt, as originally [coined by Ward Cunningham](http://wiki.c2.com/?WardExplainsDebtMetaphor), is the idea that you can gain a temporary speed boost by rushing software development, at the cost of slowing down future development. This acts like a loan. With a loan,...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
