If you've been reading our newsletter (and you should be reading our newsletter) you will have seen that I've been building some printers. This is actually the resurrection of a project I began in 2012 with the help of some colleagues, and while I've been updating it, it's been...

How I ended up working as a software developer

I’ve officially worked as a software developer since August 2016, and by now I have a fair share of stories to tell from those years. But those are stories for another time. Today I’d like to focus on where it all got started. The early days I never considered myself good with...

Are LLMs making StackOverflow irrelevant?

from The Pragmatic Engineer [alt+shift+b] in technology

5 months ago
Fresh data shows that the number of questions asked on StackOverflow are as low as they were back in 2009 – which was when StackOverflow was one years old. The drop suggests that ChatGPT – and LLMs – managed to make StackOverflow’s business model irrelevant in about two years’...

Yes, you read that right. I’m a prolific open-source influencer now. Some years ago I set up a Google Alert with my name, for fun. Who knows what it might show one day? On 7th of February, it fired an alert. Turns out that my thoughts on Ubuntu were somewhat popular, and it ended...

Introducing TagVault Pin for AirTag

from Elevation Lab - Blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
Wanting a quick, safe, and secure way to attach an AirTag to our kids, we designed the TagVault Pin Mount. Other AirTag cases for kids were too easy to take off, bulky, and flopped around. So we designed a better solution with an ultra-secure mount, dual hidden safety pins, and...

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!
