Giving Junior Engineers Control Of A Six Trillion Dollar System Is Nuts

from The Codist [alt+shift+b] in programming

For some purpose, the DOGE people are burrowing their way into all US Federal Systems. Their complete control over the Treasury Department is entirely insane. Unless you intend to destroy everything, making arbitrary changes to complex computer systems will result in destruction,...

How (and Why) to Get a Bank Account in Japan

from TokyoDev [alt+shift+b] in programming

a month ago
You can technically get by in Japan without a Japanese bank account. For those who are here on short-term visas, or who plan to move frequently from city to city, it’s perfectly possible to live and work in Japan without one. However, if you want to work a full-time job, rent an...

Should we decompose our monolith?

from Irrational Exuberance [alt+shift+b] in programming

9 months ago
From their first introduction in 2005, the debate between adopting a microservices architecture, a monolithic service architecture, or a hybrid between the two, has become one of the least-reversible decisions that most engineering organizations make. Even migrating to a...

Offline Is Just Online With Extreme Latency

from Jim Nielsen’s Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I just finished watching “Local-first Software” by Peter Van Hardenberg and loved it! He talks about changing the paradigm we’re currently in where a program runs in the cloud and we look at it when we’re online, to one where the program runs on the device in our hands and we...

How big is the Flutter team?

from Hixie's Natural Log [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
I often get asked how many people contribute to Flutter. It's a hard question to answer because "contribute" is a very vague concept. There's tens of thousands of packages on pub.dev, all of which are written by contributors to the community. There's over 100,000 of issues...

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!
