I love posts like this and wish there were more. Everyone (good?) has something similar, but all quite different in the details. charity.wtf/2022/08/1…

Two great estimate comics from Work Chronicles:

SPF seems so simple, but … www.netmeister.org/blog/spf….
Interesting thoughts on self-hosting email: cfenollosa.com/blog/afte…
And a related post (h/t Ash) vadosware.io/post/its-…
This always seemed like a flaw that Google exemplified particularly well. twitchard.github.io/posts/202…
Interesting thoughts on types of executive 1-1s. leaddev.com/managing-…
I came across this, somewhat ironically, just before N-able did its re-org last year: leaddev.com/managing-…
I also love Commit Strip: www.commitstrip.com/en/2022/0…

In my limited experience, this is all much worse at larger orgs, which is (one reason) why moving back to a small one is appealing. charity.wtf/2022/09/2…
No commentary, just interesting: www.newyorker.com/tech/anna…

There may be bias showing through here, because most of what’s included have been common at my work for quite a long time, but I really liked this list: simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/…
The solutions here sound easier than they are in practice, in my opinion. The measuring piece is interesting. lethain.com/fewer-hap…
I’d rather read than watch stuff in general, but I found this fairly interesting (although not a lot that’s super new): www.youtube.com/watch
7,643 unique error messages seems like rather a lot? wix-ux.com/when-life…
I love that these are so accessible, but never manage to find time to watch as many as I would like. www.youtube.com/playlist
I would add Sentry (or a similar tool) to this list: lukeplant.me.uk/blog/post…
💯 this:
“Now the argument always goes: Sure, but you have to manage these machines! The cloud is so much simpler! The savings will all be there in labor costs! Except no. Anyone who thinks running a major service like HEY or Basecamp in the cloud is “simple” has clearly never tried. Some things are simpler, others more complex, but on the whole, I’ve yet to hear of organizations at our scale being able to materially shrink their operations team, just because they moved to the cloud.”
Although it always seems an oversimplification to pick one or the other - in most orgs there will be a mix of systems, some that suit the small or unpredictable wins of public cloud and some that suit going the other way.
We use chardet quite a bit - if I had dev time still, this would be interesting to check out: pypi.org/project/c…
I found my SAFe training really interesting, and there are elements of Scaled Agile that I’ve found to work well. I’ve also never had to work in a situation where “full SAFe” is really required. But interesting food for thought: safedelusion.com/. h/t Kostas
I’m generally unconvinced by the current wave of generated text tools (except for very specific use-cases) but ignoring practicality, this is pretty cool: twitter.com/chadwhita…
A bit US centric, but personally relevant right now: pages.hired.email/rs/289-SI…
Lots of cool new dev tools, no time for dev any more :( github.com/charlierm…
