How I reverse engineered Notion API

from Krzysztof Kowalczyk blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Notion is a great tool for writing but the content is trapped inside the web app. The company is working on an official API but I’m impatient. This article describes how I reverse engineered their API and created a Go library notionapi. It all began with a failure. My...

Distributed Logical Time

from A Smart Bear [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago

ASAP ¶ASAP When asking for something, it’s really pointless to attach the typical “as soon as possible” to the end. Here’s why: What I think you mean when you use the phrase “as soon as possible” or, even worse, “ASAP”: I really want this now or sooner. I don’t care what you’re...

The 80s are still alive in Denmark

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

3 months ago
I grew up in the 80s in Copenhagen and roamed the city on my own from an early age. My parents rarely had any idea where I went after school, as long as I was home by dinner. They certainly didn’t have direct relationships with the parents of my friends. We just figured things...

So I started another company. I have even less tolerance for fake bullshit than when I started comma, and I probably will fail because of this. Cruise Automation is a good example here. If they told the truth, they would be out of business. In 2016, they were bought by GM for...

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!
