HTML Dark Mode 2023-04-11 I wrote an article back in 2021 called The Lazy Developer's Dark Mode where I explained how to implement a very basic "dark mode" by using the prefers-color-scheme CSS attribute. This stills works perfectly fine, and in fact there is a cleaner variation...

When I wrote about The Golden Age of x86 Gaming, I implied that, in the future, it might be an interesting, albeit expensive, idea to upgrade your video card via an external Thunderbolt 3 enclosure. I'm here to report that the future is now. Yes, that's

When I was at Stripe, I reworked the hiring process for Director-plus engineering managers. My goal was to better evaluate polished senior leaders who always said the right thing. I wanted to find the real beliefs and behaviors underneath all the polish. One interview focused on...

Software engineers hate code.

from Dan Cowell [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
This is the best-kept secret of the software engineering profession: engineers hate code. Especially code written by other people. It's why they love working on greenfield projects so much. No code, no maintenance, no headaches! Ever wondered why microservices took off in teams...

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!
