Encore uses static analysis and code generation to reduce the boilerplate you have to write, resulting in an extremely productive developer experience.
The list of superpowers is impressive, to say the least. I know gophers tend to be skittish when they’re approached by a framework, though, so I’d love to hear more about this project on Go Time…
Let’s face it: Calendly and other scheduling tools are awesome. It made our lives massively easier. We’re using it for business meetings, seminars, yoga classes and even calls with our families. However, most tools are very limited in terms of control and customisations. That’s where Calendso comes in. Self-hosted or hosted by us. White-label by design. API-driven and ready to be deployed on your own domain. Full control of your events and data. Calendso is to Calendly what GitLab is to GitHub.
We’ve been happy Calendly users for years, but I do like the idea of white-labeling and hosting on our own domain. Calendso is built with Next, React, Tailwind, & Prisma.
700+ hand-selected tools across a range of categories such as writing, productivity, pixel art, and more. The headline link goes to the web interface, but you can also get at in rendered Markdown on the GitHub Repo.
Although I’ve mostly also included ‘standards’, this list has a focus on artful tools & toys that are as fun to use as they are functional.
The goal of this list is to enable making entirely outside of closed production ecosystems or walled software gardens.

Stefan Buck:
In this post I share my learnings of doing code reviews for 10 years. I have received positive feedback from my peers in the blog post and since code review is becoming more and more the standard of development I think sharing my learnings here will may help someone.
Number 10 introduced a new term for me. The “gangsta merge”?! 🤣
Marko Zivanovic has had enough of letting other people own his data:
Owning your data is more than just having backup copies of your digital information. It’s also about control and privacy. It’s about trust. I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust a lot of services with my data (the ones I do are few and far between).
How does he replace all those hosted services?
I created a simple diagram to roughly show how my personal setup works. Before you say anything – I’m aware that there’s a group of people that wouldn’t consider my self-hosting as pure self-hosting. I’m using Vultr to host my web-facing applications and not a server in my house. Unfortunately, the current situation doesn’t allow me to do that (yet).
This all looks like a lot of work to pull off, but maybe it’s worth it?

In this article, I will talk about trending tech skills in 2021 that may help trainees or junior developers secure their desired position at FAANG. I will also uncover some tips for successful interviewing at the Big Five tech giants and reveal whether a cover letter can assist you in your FAANG job search. Let’s dive in.
Idempotence is the property of a software that when run 1 or more times, it only has the effect of being run once. I’ll describe a process I’m making at work, and describe the problems that idempotence will help avoid.
This is a nice, simple example (charging dormant customers a monthly fee) of how a slight change to the way you tackle a feature can make it idempotent, which is most definitely something you want your software routines to be.

From Dipanjan Biswa on the RudderStack blog:
There are a lot of blogs out there on building churn prediction models using scikit-learn, R, or other advanced ML toolkits. However, most of them require strong engineering as well as data science skills. That said, it is now possible to create robust models using SQL and basic knowledge of data science by leveraging the tools that companies like Google have developed to democratize machine learning.
In this post, we will use Google’s BigQueryML together with the clickstream data collected and delivered using the RudderStack platform. This data represents events, such as slot machine spins, associated with a mobile casino game. The volume of the data is typical for such scenarios, and as we will see, performing churn analysis is both easily accessible and efficient without having to spend a fortune on the infrastructure.
A fun little microsite where you’re given a name (example: Azurill) and you have to guess whether it’s a Big Data project or a Pokémon. Surprisingly difficult! 😆
The goal of this project is to add support for the Rust language to the Linux kernel. This repository contains the work that will be eventually submitted for review to the LKML.
Probably the most exciting fork of torvalds/linux in the ’Verse, but what are the odds that this effort eventually makes it back upstream?
I’m not sure exactly what this is. A playground? A scratch sheet? A script runner? Regardless, it seems to have some potential. An example is worth (at least) 1k words of me trying to explain it to you. So, here’s a canvas that fetches, processes, and displays the weather.
This article covers three main reasons why other engineers may reject your technical initiative (such as refactoring, changing methodologies or switching tools):
For each of these reasons, there are tips you can use to drive your initiative forward.
John Resig and Loren Sands-Ramshaw first announced the beta of their GraphQL book (discussed here) nearly three years ago. After years of writing and re-writing, it’s now ready to be released. Loren had this to say in the linked announcement post:
This project has taken much longer than we expected, and the length of the book has wound up being much longer than we expected. We’d like to give a huge shout-out to our 740 beta readers who stuck with us through four major versions of the in-progress text.
The GraphQL Guide aims to be the most comprehensive guide to GraphQL, from a beginner introduction to advanced client and server topics.
Raj Dutt, CEO and co-founder of Grafana Labs:
Our company has always tried to balance the “value creation” of open source and community with the “value capture” of our monetization strategy. The choice of license is a key pillar of this strategy, and is something that we’ve deliberated on extensively since the company began.
Over the last few years, we’ve watched closely as almost every at-scale open source company that we admire (such as Elastic, Redis Labs, MongoDB, Timescale, Cockroach Labs, and many others) has evolved their license regime. In almost all of these cases, the result has been a move to a non-OSI-approved source-available license.
We have spent the first months of 2021 having sometimes contentious but always healthy internal debates over this topic, and today we are announcing a change of our own.
They’re switching to AGPLv3, which is OSI-approved, but like Heather Meeker said on our SSPL/Elastic episode, is often on the DO NOT USE list at large tech firms. Raj continues:
Ensuring we maintain these freedoms for our community is a big priority for us. While AGPL doesn’t “protect” us to the same degree as other licenses (such as the SSPL), we feel that it strikes the right balance. Being open source will always be at the core of who we are, and we believe that adopting AGPLv3 allows our community and users to by and large have the same freedoms that they have enjoyed since our inception.
