Reflections
- Reflections on Proprietary Software — “This is why, I believe, proprietary software, with its inherent power imbalance favouring developers over users, leads to unethical behaviour and exploitation of users.”
- Things You Should Never Do, Part I — do not rewrite from scratch. You will lose your bugfixes and die before you regain momentum.
- Apprenticeship Patterns — understand your life as developer in patterns, and learn to recognize ways forward.
- Sexuality and sexism — why expressing sexuality in tech-communities typically leads to problems.
- The Lisp Curse — „technical issues in other programming languages are social issues in Lisp.“ Consequently, Guix and the SRFIs that make such a big difference for Scheme are social in nature.
Politics
- Public Money, Public Code! — Towards better Government software procurement, the Corona Warn App is a great start!
- The Toxicity of Public Multinational Corporations — “Instead of hydrogen … they burn good will.”
- Break-once, Break-everywhere, Break-forever [with] Forever-day bugs — on the Palladium security model and the secure enclave.
Programming
- Creative Code algorithms & techniques — generating complexity.
- Articles about Emacs from Chris Wellons — lots of optimization goodness from the author of elfeed, the best way to read news via rss.
- Volatile Software — do not be the tool which breaks by itself or other tools on update.
- Software developers should avoid traumatic changes — two kinds of trauma: everything needs work to get working again or to get idiomatic again.
- The Little Schemer — fun and with a density of deep insights rarely found in programming books.
- The Algorithm Design Manual — understanding algorithm and datastructure design in-depth while never losing the hands-on approach.
- The Computer Language Benchmarks Game — the go-to resource for benchmarks between programming languages that are open about their shortcomings.
