Advanced Terminal Tips and Tricks
Advanced Terminal Tips and Tricks
When I was first starting out in software engineering, it felt like there was a never-ending barrage of tooling to learn. After more than a decade in CLI environments, I still find myself constantly learning new features and fun facts - but it’s fairly rare that I learn something new that I end up using day-to-day. I wanted to share some things I learned at relatively late stages in the game that ended up being significant productivity boosters for me - perhaps some of them are well-known, but in the spirit of this XCKD, I hope that someone reading this might pick up something new.

ACID Databases – Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation & Durability Explained
ACID Databases – Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation & Durability Explained
ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability. These are four key properties that most database management systems (DBMS) offer as guarantees when handling transactions. Most popular DBMS like MySQL [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-acid.html], PostgresSQL [https://www.postgresql.org/about/] and Oracle [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/F51125_01/docs.85/SDS%20PI/acid-compliant-transactions.html#GUID-ECB79D66-46DE-4F48-93DC-8677E7BB44EF] have ACID guarantees out of the

Testing my website for visual regressions with Playwright snapshot tests
Testing my website for visual regressions with Playwright snapshot tests
Making changes to websites is tricky, because even small changes may lead to visual regressions in the page layout. For example, changing a bit of CSS to fix something somewhere may blow up in a completely different place. I could just click around and make sure everything looks okay, but that is boring and error-prone. What if I told you that there is a way to make sure that every pixel on your site is perfect, staying just they way you intended it to be?

The Log: What every software engineer should know about real-time data's unifying abstraction
I joined LinkedIn about six years ago at a particularly interesting time. We were just beginning to run up against the limits of our monolithic, centralized database and needed to start the transition to a portfolio of specialized distributed systems.
