A 10x developer is probably not a thing, but I'm pretty sure a 0.1x is 😒

GitHub - damianh/http-hybridcache-handler: Caching HttpHandler based on RFC 9111 that uses HybridCache Caching HttpHandler based on RFC 9111 that uses HybridCache - damianh/http-hybridcache-handler

Haven't done an OSS project in quite some time; scratched an itch with this one. An HTTP caching handler (for .NET HTTP Client) based on HybridCache. Am kicking the tyres on this so let's see if it works/sticks. github.com/damianh/http...

Got the email as well. Some incremental bump would be a bit easier to swallow 😐

Na altura da campanha, a minha cunhada dizia que achava o Piteira sem carisma. Eu achei piada e cada vez que via um outdoor, referia-me a ele assim, mas às vezes em vez de sem carisma saía-me sem carácter. Parece que afinal não me enganei muito.

TODA A GENTE tem de ler este artigo.

Commune Turn your newsletter into a community.

In case it helps, I'm building an alternative to Substack. It's usecommune.com. It works with other newsletter providers like Ghost, Kit, MailerLite, Beehiiv, Buttondown, etc.

Apologies for the self-promotion here but I think it's helpful that people get to know there's an alternative now.

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Dread seems indeed like the appropriate title

Sometimes it's just better to load "all" the data A quick post on adapting your approach to the problem at hand, not just following the same ideas indiscriminately.

A quick and potentially obvious new one up on the interwebs 🕸️

"Bad thing existed before I made it easier to do bad thing" isn't the argument you think it is.

Yeah. That, added to the fact that the topics I want to talk about aren't that sexy (i.e. build software that doesn't keel over when it feels a breeze) gives my submissions high rejection potential 😅.

Thanks! I'll take a look at those.

Thanks. Already submitted, but expect a rejection, as has been always the case with NDC submissions 😂

Thanks, added a reminder to when the CFP opens 😁

I've got some ideas around distributed systems resiliency and stuff that I'd love to talk about, if I find anyone interested in them (nothing groundbreaking at all, just revisiting some basics that are often forgotten).

Particularly, conferences that are interested in hosting different speakers and topics. The main ones I know about seem more interested in hosting the same people over and over again, plus either rehashing the same topics, or just focusing on overhyped ones.

Anyone has any recommendations for interesting European conferences to submit some talks/workshops to?

The problem is not so much the artificial intelligence in itself as the natural stupidity it brings out in some people. And the dehumanising systems they propose to build around it.

This ASP.NET Core dev shell that @philco.bsky.social built on top of Spectre.Tui (as a demo), is pretty damn useful (and cool).

Submitted 2 security issues to NuGet and GitHub last year, finally heard back that they are low priority and not a big deal.

I did manage to publish this package to NuGet. A bunch of unicode in there, but it looks genuine, right? Nobody would discover this via search because of the unicode.

Post de Ricardo Capelli no Twitter: ISSO É SOBERANIA: 1 - A França substituirá Teams, Meet e Zoom pelo Visio, um app de videochamada estatal, que será a solução obrigatória até julho de 2027. 2 - O Visio, baseado no Jitsi Meet, roda no navegador e usa código aberto, facilitando auditorias de segurança. 3 - O app faz parte do La Suite Numérique e deve economizar cerca de 1 milhão de euros por ano para cada 100 mil funcionários.

Usar software livre tinha que ser obrigatório em TODOS os órgãos estatais brasileiros, também. Software proprietário tem que ser proibido no Estado, salvo raras exceções.

Por acaso tenho pena. Quebra de 61% é pouco.

🤔 Random question for devs who work or have worked on backends with an underlying relational database.

Do you know what a database transaction is? What about isolation levels?

If you know about them, have you used them, or just know they're a thing?

Hadn't clicked on the Copilot review for some time, so gave it a go.
It initially did detect some things I messed up, like an idiot, so it was less useless than the previous time I tried it, but then it went back to being useless, suggesting changes that were wrong 🤷‍♂️

migrate from cake frosting to cake sdk by joaofbantunes · Pull Request #51 · YakShaveFx/outboxkit

📤🍰 OutboxKit build migrated from Cake Frosting to Cake SDK
Didn't change much, as the build is rather simple, but still, a bit cleaner.

Got a new one, let's see if it's taken away again 😂

On professionalism, professional pride, career and ambition An half-rant, half-reflection on the importance of professionalism, taking pride in one’s work, and the role of ambition in career growth.

Maybe half-rant half-reflection, you tell me what you make of it 🙂

Pretty sure I haven't done a good enough job in making myself as clear as possible, and there will be some misinterpretation, but I tried 😅
