Wouldn't you know that an episode about tacit programming would be a long one. We explore tacit modifiers on this episode. Host: Conor Hoekstra Panel: Marshall Lochbaum, Adám Brudzewsky, Stephen Taylor and Bob Therriault.

I'm a strong believer in the next generation Linux desktop model - which splits what is typically one monolithic system into different layers. This has been great for us at Universal Blue because it allows us to reuse Fedora's OCI images to deliver a more reliable and customizable experience for

PostgreSQL isn’t getting any younger. Which is fine – after all, databases generally improve with age. The platform is going from strength, and is a default choice for a big chunk of modern software development. But Postgres has been around for a while – it launched in 1986 – which has an implication for the

Quite often, I read and hear about people who are reluctant to embrace AWS Serverless. In this article I will provide my view on the most common arguments fielded against it.

"Revolutionizing Data Center Management: Heata's Sustainable Solution Harnesses Thermal Energy Waste"

An experiment on how to live in a seemingly hopeless world.

Dubbed the ‘crackberry’, it was a tech gamechanger and status symbol. So what happened to the first smartphone and why didn’t the execs see it coming?

With recent moves made by prominent players, Wayland seems closer than ever to being the path for Linux users—but, let’s be honest, X11 will never truly die.

I was fascinated with the rise of JavaScript as a ubiquitous but loose client-side programming language in our browser, but then also the introduction of it on the server-side with Node.js. I see a lot of parallels between the ubiquity and utility of JavaScript, and the ubiquity and utility of web APIs. I am equally fascinated by the rise of TypeScript in this fast and loose reality, bringing more discipline to the JavaScript programming realm. Using TypeScript as part of my work around Spectral rules governing APIs has left me thinking more deeply about the potential of not just strongly typed APIs, but strongly typed API operations surrounding our APIs across the enterprise.

You need a system to go fast, you need chaos to do something new. Chose well

In stories, you will often find the motif of a powerful demon that can be controlled only by knowing its true name. Once the hero finds out that name, through cunning dialogue or by investigating ancient tomes, they can turn things around and banish the demon!

Released 35 years ago, the NeXT Computer was a commercial failure, but its groundbreaking features ended up redefining personal computing.

Junior engineers worry about senior engineers taking over on projects they want to lead. Some even think of hiding their work until it’s near launch. However, this is the opposite of what you should do since collaboration increases your impact. Here are two ways that some engineers always lead.

I wouldn’t be where I am without doing THIS!

TLDR: You can safely open a URL in a sandboxed browser via browserling.com/browse – my team and I built it! We run the sandboxed browsers in an isolated network in virtual machines and stream just the browser window to you. ## What is a URL sandbox? A URL sandbox is a secure environment used to safely inspect,...

I have been talking about the expansion of needs when it comes to API operations, the lifecycle, and governance for a number of years now. I have been hearing it called the great unbundling of API management for a little while now, and while the word “unbundling” is appropriate, it represents an outsider, or market-driven view of what is needed. Unbundling refers to the separation of components from a suite of products the last generation of API service providers were selling you, so that we can invent new words to describe the new suite of modular products that matter when selling you something. Which is fine, except it isn’t about what is needed on the ground, and has no self-reflection about how we deliver modular API-driven solutions. Outsiders never want you to sell you API-driven solutions, because they are harder to see, quantify, and trap you into a single way of buying / selling.
