Another day of drowning in meetings, but at least I’m drowning gracefully. I enjoyed the handful of pieces I got a chance to read, and bet you’ll like one or two of them too.
[blog] Analyzing Go Binary Sizes. It’s easy to ignore the ever-growing size of our compiled components, but you’re doing yourself a favor by understanding why a binary is bloated, and how to shrink it.
[article] 9 extraordinary documents every developer should read. It’s good to stop and reflect on what came before us. Here are some classic papers that are useful to review.
[article] How Golang Manages Its Security Supply Chain. I genuinely hope the things the Go team does become standard with the other major languages. It’d go a long way to improving the security posture of countless systems.
[blog] Laying the foundation for a career in platform engineering. We see lots of companies embrace the concept of platform engineering, but what does it take to build a career as a platform engineer? I like this post and what it covers.
[article] Reliable Architectures Through Observability. Observability is such an over-used term now, but I trust the folks at Honeycomb to clearly describe it. Good read here.
[blog] Cloud switching just got easier: Removing data transfer fees when moving off Google Cloud. I don’t want you to go, but if you do, it shouldn’t be unnecessarily costly. I like that we did this.
[blog] Evolution of Developer Productivity at Square – Part One. Good story about improving continuous integration experiences for developers as part of an effort to invest in developer productivity.
