Bookmarked The Future of Tech Nottingham Events - 2022 and beyond — Tech Nottingham - Your local tech community
Post details
As the world changes, so too must Tech Nottingham. We explore the future of Tech Nottingham events.

A lovely post, and I know that it was a very difficult post to write - but also not that TN will cease to be a thing.

The team have worked so incredibly hard to make remote work and it definitely feels like the right call, albeit a shame!

Bookmarked Stop Pretending Your Company is Remote by Luiz Felipe G. Pereira 
Post details
The pandemic made evident how much work can, and should, be different. The forced change to accommodate remote workflows also brought to light what I like to call “virtual offices”. Unlike truly remote friendly workplaces optimized for asynchronous communication, these aim to merely transport the office into a virtual space keeping the same unnecessary constraints of synchronous work intact, only replacing shoulder taps with Zoom calls. I’d love if we collectively agreed to start using a more appropriate name for these. They are office-less companies but they are not remote-friendly.

The problem is when you have a lot of posts, names start overlapping, or you want to make the date it was from more visible.

Bookmarked Vanity URL for Go packages
Post details
Introduction If you have been working with Go programming language for a while, you would have noticed that a lot of open source packages that you import start with github.com/…. You would then use go get command to download the package and add it to your go.mod file. For instance: $ go get -u github.com/abvarun226/goiplookup What if you did not want this dependency on Github and rather wanted to host your own git server?

Bookmarked Hard to work with.
Post details
Managing teams has taught me a lot about my own behaviors and motivations. For example, I overworked for a long time. This left me continually teetering on the brink of burnout, and I had no energy left to absorb the typical sorts of organizational changes that happen at any company. Despite doing good work, I handled change poorly, and I picked up the reputation for being difficult to manage. I’d like to say that I learned from my mistakes directly, but the honest version is that I came to understand this dynamic mostly through working with folks struggling from the same issue.

Using else often encourages complexer code structure, makes code less readable. In most cases you can refactor it using early returns.

This is a good tip for any language!

Is the idea after the first resolution it'll rely on OS caching? Still this seems inefficient and in cases of multiple domains resolving to the same IP, incorrect. What am I missing?

I've been bitten by pinning to latest versions before and definitely agree that where possible we should make sure that things are pinned exactly.

Then we can use tools like Whitesource Renovate / Dependabot to manage updates automatically.
