Bookmarked Why Engineers Need To Write by Ryan Peterman 
Post details
I hated writing in high school. It wasn’t objective like my favorite subjects, math and science. It also didn’t help that we had to write about old, hard-to-understand literature like Shakespeare. But my perspective on writing changed once I started working full-time as a software engineer.

Bookmarked Tech's Elite Hates Labor by Ed Z 
Post details
I am furious. Though I try not to humour conspiracy theories, or suggest that there is any grand overture to what is usually an uncaring and cold world, but I cannot ignore what is a transparently-synchronized movement against the tech industry’s workforce.

Bookmarked How to Build Software like an SRE
Post details
I’ve been doing this “reliability” stuff for a little while now (~5 years), at companies ranging from about 20 developers to over 2,000. I’ve always cared primarily about the software elements I describe as living “outside” the application – like, how does it get its configuration? What kinds of instances does it run on, and are those the best kinds to use? What steps does it take on its path from “code in a repository” to “running in production”? And I’ve always kept track of what I liked – which mechanisms allowed fast iteration and which caused frustration, which led to outages and which prevented them.

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!
