Reading 'Patterns of Distributed Systems' by Unmesh Joshi . Highly recommend it to anyone designing even the simplest of systems. If I had to teach a course on the topic this would probably be the exercise book. Only regret: wish examples were in Rust Language .

We don’t _write_ simple code. We refine code, prune code, craft it until ahhh, better.

Elegant simplicity is not a direct aim, but as we’re trying to accomplish something, we can recognize the simplicity and then figure we’ve got it right.

There are plenty of recordings of my voice online, so I get to call of my less technical friends and family and let them know I won't be calling them asking for money.

I'm not normally an advocate of more laws. But maybe voice cloning services should be liable for damages

I hope that 2024 sees a return to hiring, but if so firms struggle with getting people to be effective quickly. Tim Cochran and Premanand Chandrasekaran address these problems in a new bottleneck article

If you only read one online article today, make it Martin Fowler's rewritten piece about continuous integration.

It's stuffed with guidance for those proposing and implementing CI at their companies.

Is 2024 the year that you really wrangle that old code and start doing something new with it?

Martin Fowler has a good post on finding seams (with shout out to Michael Feathers) in your legacy code to better support tests, and more.

'Techno optimism is not blind faith that “all tech is good.” Techno optimism has to be couched in an understanding that there are tradeoffs with every decision… it helps to think through who might be harmed and how, and seek to limit those risks'

It might be nine years old, but this deck is excellent. It is insightful on how to test microservices and the trade offs between different aproaches martinfowler.com/articles/micro…

Canon TDD -- I keep reading critiques of processes that aren't TDD, so I summarized the original definition & pointed out common misconceptions.

Is that what it really is? Does it warrant playing if you already love (or hate) Brass? Come decide for yourselves!
