If y'all aren't already following Brandur Leach's thoughts on their site, please go ahead and do it. I've spent the morning going through quite a few really well written and informative posts, and have remembered there's a good back catalogue for the Nanoglyph newsletter too which is excellent. Some really great learnings from years of building awesome stuff, thanks for it all!

Solving complex problems with software is, unsurprisingly, complex in itself. But what can we do about it? We weigh up the pros and cons of microservices, containers and external libraries as we analyse whether we're guilty of exchanging short-term convenience for long-term headaches. Plus, there's a bonus mini-discussion during The Stand-Up about knowing when to change roles and how to negotiate salary changes. In a busy work week, there are plenty of extra-curricular distractions too, as Neil has Star Trek frustrations, Sanj finds an excuse to not shave, and Gwen makes the quickest ever U-turn on buying a piece of tech.

This is awesome stuff from Glitch and I hope it'll get some good adoption over tools like Linktree!
We've let the web shrink down to one puny "link in bio" on your social media profile, with services trying to charge you money for *links*! So we're fixing that at @Glitch, with the new FREE Glitch In Bio — a links page that does anything the web can do. glitch.com/glitch-in-bioAnil Dash (@anildash)Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:45 GMT

Moving over to #Neovim was such a good idea - not only are the Async, LSP and general UI improvements making it a nicer experience, but I'd completely forgotten about being able to embed Neovim into other UIs, so this is being written from Neovim embedded into Firefox using the very awesome firenvim project

Don't know about everyone else, but I find it really difficult to find out / remember what versions of libraries are installed on the AWS Lambda runtime - luckily I've blogged about it so you don't have to remember! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/11/17/aws-lambda-java-runtime/ (although JDK11 still needs a bit of help)

We have normalised taking pictures and videos of people without consent. We’ve made it socially acceptable to capture strangers going about their day to post to audiences that they themselves are unaware they’re “entertaining”. There is an entitlement to these actions.

How about instead of telling women to ignore the men who harass them, we consider how fucked up it is that men feel entitled to our attention, entitled to punish us for not giving it until we do, and enabled by a society that blames women for the way men treat them in either case
