I just started out as a product manager, do I need programming knowledge? : r/ProductManagement
I've recently been thinking more and more about what sort of technical awareness a product manager should have; r/ProductManagemtn seemed like a good place to go read up...
Babashka
Clojure as a shell scripting languaghe, pretty much.
The Koka Programming Language
Interesting-looking functional programming language.
ctrl/tinycolor and 40+ NPM Packages Compromised - StepSecurity
A pretty impressive and concerning compromise of a lot of JavaScript (and by extension TypeScript) packages.
Beat Maker
There's a lot of these online, this is another cool one. What makes it interesting, to some degree, is that it's written in Clojure.
Gitlantis - Visual Studio Marketplace
I'm not really a VSCode user but... this is so stupid. I love it.

stelvio.dev: AWS for Python devs - made simple
A Python library that also builds out your deployment too.
The whole IAC thing bothers me because people say "code" but it's almost never actually code. This looks like it might end up actually putting the code in IAC.
theoldreader/api: The Old Reader API
The API for TheOldReader.
Is it just me or is The Boss much, much more difficult in Delta than the original MGS3?
Personally, I'm new to MGS Delta (or any MGS game). I've done okay all the way through the game, but can't beat the Boss boss fight (or rather the first hour I tried getting through it got me nowhere).
Seems like even folk who played MGS3 have found it's not so simple...
the Fennel programming language
Because I need another Lisp in my life, of course...
News API to Search & Collect Worldwide News - NewsData.io

Red & blue functions are actually a good thing
A rebuttal of sorts for the red/blue language post.
What Color is Your Function? – journal.stuffwithstuff.com
An amusing take on async/await being sprinkled all over a language. While this is aimed more at the JavaScript crowd, I think the Python folk can relate too.
There are some good points here, and some good descriptions of the sort of frustration that can be felt. At the same time there are also some not-quite-sensible aspects to it as well.
Still a fun read.

Like it says on the tin.... every UUID.

Git Notes: git's coolest, most unloved feature - Tyler Cipriani
You can add notes to commits in git. It's almost never spoken about.
Why I'm declining your AI generated MR - Stuart Spence Blog
I've been thinking recently about AI/LLM-created PRs on GitHub. I've only received a couple, and they've not been great. This has got me wondering if I should entertain them at all from both a software development point of view, and also an ethical point of view.
This blog post is an interesting read for someone else's take on things.

Interruptions cost 23 minutes 15 seconds, right?
An intertesting dive into the history of the "common knowledge" relating to the impact of an interruption on someone (generally) working on code.

React Still Feels Insane And No One Is Talking About It
React has never felt quite right to me, but I've never been able to put my finger on why. This article does a good job of gettinng a similar feel to what I feel.
