Listened to SDKs for your API with Sagar Batchu - Software Engineering Daily by SE Daily 
Post details
APIs are ubiquitous and critical to building modern software, and developers must frequently develop custom APIs to streamline user access to their services. However, making an API that provides a great developer experience can be a time-consuming endeavor. As a result, API teams often leave the final mile of integration up to their users. Speakeasy

Listened to The one with Brad Fitzpatrick (Go Time #148)
Post details
Brad Fitzpatrick returns to the show (last heard on episode 44) to field a mixed bag of questions from Johnny, Mat, and the live listeners. How’d he get in to programming? What languages did he use before Go? What’s he up to now that he’s not working on the Go language? And of course… does he have any unpopular opinion...

Listened to Ep. 18: Thriving after a tech layoff by Always an Engineer
Post details
For today’s episode, Asim takes on the situation of tech employees going through layoffs. In recent months, there have been many layoffs in the tech industry, and people are either flustered or placed at their lowest points going through this predicament. Asim takes on a guide that can help those who have been laid off and those who are trying to avoid the situation. [00:38] Introduction to Tech Layoffs [01:16] Tips for Laid Off and Recent Grads [01:20] Due to Downsizing [02:20] Understanding Your First Downturn [03:27] What Can We do? [03:34] Networking In the Field Of Interest [05:29] Seeking Part Time Roles [05:58] Structure and Discipline [06:35] Starting Your Own Company [07:12] Avoid Companies of People Who Complain [07:38] Habit of Reading [08:44] Summary Nowhere to Go But Up In the position of being laid off, employees would often over analyze why they were let go or what they will do after being released. It’s important to have a quick understanding of the situation. Taking a scan of what could have been done or what can be done. In the event that this does happen to an individual, the mindset of being resourceful on how else you can build your career will be an essential tool. In the field of tech, there are many opportunities out there. While it is still valid to let out how you feel in private, what’s important is that you know how to get back up on your feet and you make a plan on how to do it.

Everyone: in the future, we could imagine every news outlet running their own fediverse instance, what a wonderful future that would be! BBC: *becomes the first major news outlet to launch an official fedi instance* Everyone, ten seconds later: we are fediblocking the BBC for being too right wing.

Great that the BBC is trying out Mastodon. I really hope it works out for them and they stick around, with extra accounts, after their 6 month trial. But still in their replies people are trying to explain how to mastodon to them. What is it with this place that people feel the need to explain what they’re doing wrong all the time? Just be cool.

Started reading a webpage with an article about the relentless ongoing enshittification. Before I'd scrolled down more than a page or two I saw the lines of text progressively start to fade out and thought "on *this* article? surely not?" But yeah, it faded to nothing and the fucking "Subscribe to read more" box scrolled on. Fox ache. 🐂
