Some Git poll results

from Julia Evans [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
A new thing I’ve been trying while writing this Git zine is doing a bunch of polls on Mastodon to learn about: which git commands/workflows people use (like “do you use merge or rebase more?” or “do you put your current git branch in your shell prompt?”) what kinds of problems...

What if I spent exactly two hours on each post

from Ognjen Regoje • ognjen.io [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
Over the past year, the backlog of things I wanted to write had piled up. But my free time had dwindled. So, in the interest of being prolific and producing content that I can iterate and learn from, at the start of the year I decided that this year I would not spend more than...

A Web Component Story

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Gather 'round, it's story time. A number of years ago, I was hired by a company to rebuild a component library for their design system. The one they were replacing was built with AngularJS, but AngularJS was old and rickety and nobody wanted to use it anymore. Plus, many teams...

Augh! I am so behind on so much writing, I’m even behind on writing shit that I need to reference in order to write other pieces of writing. Like this one. So we’re just gonna do this quick and dirty on the personal blog, and not bother bringing it up to the editorial standards...

A Simple, Delay-Tolerant, Offline-Capable Mesh Network with Syncthing (+ optional NNCP)

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

over a year ago
A little while back, I spent a week in a remote area. It had no Internet and no cell phone coverage. Sometimes, I would drive in to town where there was a signal to get messages, upload photos, and so forth. I had to take several devices with me: my phone, my wife’s, maybe a …...

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!
