Why write ADRs (2020) - architecture decision records (ADRs) are a form of technical documentation. They cover the big technical decision made on a project, in a sort of syntehsized fashion. Much like a design doc, but without going into the nitty-gritty.

Type in the exact number of machines to proceed (2020) - a nifty double-check for potentially destructive commands of all kinds. Donโ€™t just do it or require a simple Yes/No answer. Rather ask the person to work a bit for the answer and also tie it to the magnitude of the mutation - ie number of machines affected by the change.

Achieving maintainability with hexagonal architecture (2019) #video - another short intro to hexagonal architecture.

Homesteading the Twittersphere (2020) - an interesting take on why there are so many high-quality analyst-type blogs and newsletters lately (the author included). Humans value status quite a lot, but in an abundance of information scenario, the old patterns of status via wealth or via power donโ€™t really help in establishing the proper hierarchy. But status via gift does. Much like with open-source software many years earlier. Put out some complex and useful software for free, benefit from the recognition, and get extra IRL rewards from this.
