Five for Friday – October 25, 2024
Here we are again. It’s dark and cold in the pacific northwest, but that should only last six months, so it’s not a problem at all…
Here are some things I found interesting this week.
- A lot of us are now paying for public IPv4 addresses on some of our AWS hosted sites. I probably should just move those to IPv6, but I fear that most people won’t be able to get to them. Here’s a nice article on the state of moving to IPv6.
- This article from Human Centric Engineering – From Struggle to Insight – hits on some of the things I’ve talked about on the other blog, but also so much more. I spent 10x as much time researching some of the concepts in the article as I did reading.
- This article from Maaret on Dividing future of testing more evenly is a banger. I wish more testers were like Maaret.
Brent – if you’re reading, tag this for the podcast. - Adam Grant’s post today on Why Business Leaders Make Lousy Politicians is excellent. He speaks the truth both in specifics and generalities – and in his usual excellent writing style.
- Finally another one in the “why did I not know about this” (or “why did I forget this existed”) category is devdocs.io – brief documentation on …everything. There’s even an offline version.
Another week over – see y’all in November. US readers – Go. Vote.
