Rules for designing APIs

By treating your GraphQL API like a Database, you're able to build flexible and easy to maintain APIs, with the additional benefit of making them easy to audit.

A blog about the process of writing Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) programs and what’s going on under the hood at the kernel-level.

The hunger for more compute and storage capacity and for more bandwidth to shuffle and shuttle ever-increasing amounts of data is not insatiable among the

The internet contains many confusing articles that mix Event Sourcing with EDA and CQRS. Let’s see what it is and what not.

Using CI/CD to run automated UI tests as part of the build process requires carefully picking the tools, strategies, and tests to run in the pipeline.

In this article guide, we will walk you through the analysis and installation of some recommended to-do list managers for your Linux command-line environment.

OCI containers are the most popular type of Linux container, but they are not the only type, nor were they the first. LXC (short for "LinuX Containers") predates Docker by several years, though it was also not the first. LXC dates back to its first release in 2008; the earliest version of Docker, which was tagged in 2013, was actually a wrapper around LXC. The LXC project is still going strong and shows no signs of winding down; LXC 5.0 was released in July and comes with a promise of support until 2027.

Last week we discussed Edwin Friedman’s theory of what makes groups dysfunctional.  Friedman laid out his ideas in A Failure of Nerve and based them on the “Bowen family systems theory.” He posited that many modern families, organizations, and even nations have an emotional system characterized by “chronic anxiety” — a high level of tension/nervousness that the […]

The National Security Agency (NSA) and friends have released "Securing the Software Supply Chain for Developers." The Enduring Security Framework (ESF), a public-private working group that provides security guidance on high-priority threats to the nation’s critical infrastructure, wrote this report.

While data catalog and SQL federation have a role to play, GraphQL leads to faster time to value across a larger and heterogeneous set of backends.

Adding numerous edges to a DAG can make the graph unnecessarily complex. However, these graphs can be simplified using a technique called transitive reduction.

It’s subtly shaped our thinking around how we should look.

Many fear a lawsuit from early in the pandemic could destroy the Internet Archive. Here’s what’s really going on.

There are many books about remote work, some of which I’ve even read (e.g. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]). There are also countless blogs and podcasts on the subject, I’ve gone through too many to list. After working remotely for 4 companies over 5 years, interviews with hundreds of others, managing fully remote teams, interviewing hundreds of employees for remote roles, chatting with thousands of remote workers, and voyeuring the activities of many amazing remote teams, I concluded that, to my surprise, I need to write a different take about why, when and how remote work is worth it.

Observability is quickly becoming table stakes for any modern IT organization, even when it comes to a database.

Hello, today I will tell you how my development to a popular open-source project caused errors to people using the project around the world…

Solid is a protocol that puts data under the control of individuals rather than corporations and governments. Adoption in the US is slow.
