Five for Friday – October 18,2024
Back again with five links of stuff you may (should??) find interesting.
- First – for United States readers only – please vote. All elections are important – this one is extremely important.
- I like the way this article answers the question, Why is my engineering team so much slower than they used to be?
- I somehow failed to notice Johanna Rothman’s ongoing writing about writing non-fiction. This post on Three Surprising (& Useful!) Learnings from My 60 Seconds of Writing WIP Experiment was a great and inspiring read
- I don’t write a lot of code anymore, but when I do, it’s almost always Python. Because I use it rarely, I forget a lot of things. While I can look them up (or use chatgpt), I find that having access to the main language pieces in a brief and condensed format is faster than looking up what I need. This Python Cheatsheet is bookmarked for me, and really handy.
- “Successful software is buggy software” is the premise of this article – Be Suspicious of Success. It’s a short and fun (and accurate).
And now you can continue your Friday. See you in a week.
