About a third of developers use MacOS. Switching them to ARM will be a huge boost to ARM in the cloud. Especially when they see AWS Gravitron tends to give a ~50% cost savings 🙀

Since we're building up a team to work on Rust I now get to do more Rust-based phone screens and coding interviews. It's noticeable that rust developers code is very consistent and idiomatic. Much more so than either C, C++, or Java. More like Python or Go in that way.

So, the social network that might most successfully clone Clubhouse is Slack. Much of Clubhouse is gated by an extrovert tax, which is way smaller when you’re in your chosen Slack workspace. And Slack is already so good at adhoc conversations designed to be forgotten...

Slack's CEO Stewart Butterfield made a huge announcement: - On Clubhouse - About building their own Clubhouse into Slack - While Clubhouse's CEO was also a speaker DAMN. This is exactly what was said while Clubhouse's CEO raged while on mute:

For over 20 years, PragmaticProgrammers's book _Programming Ruby_, better known as "The Pickaxe Book", has been an entry point and a reference for the Ruby community. It was, among other things, my introduction to Ruby. It also hasn't been updated since 2013. 1/

Gergely Orosz Small companies can use quality as a forcing function. It’s easier to establish good processes and ensure everyone follows them when you know everyone. Big co’s have lots going on and it’s not as easy to have reach across everyone.

Would it be interesting to do a podcast where we interview the authors of great software about how it was built? Like a software architecture version of song exploder.
