Making it fast shouldn't be the last step

from Yale e360 [alt+shift+b] in programming

There's a common quote in the software world that you should "make it work, make it right, then make it fast."1 This is a catchy aphorism, and it is often taken as a rule. But in its short form, it misses some crucial nuance. Let's unpack it to see what's missing, then how to do...

I had the chance to speak at RustLab 2024! I will be honest, this was the point I realised that 4 conferences in one year was a bad idea. I was exhausted and overwhelmed, but I still had a blast meeting new people and answering the questions after the talk. It had the following...

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!
