I highly recommend #AdventOfCode. I did it last year and just finished day 1 of this year. It gets much more challenging. So much fun! adventofcode.com/

Ahhhh it’s my favorite time of the year. Tests start breaking, email notifications are off by an hour, and whole dev teams get inspired to start fixing their daylight saving time bugs and then realize hey it only happens a few times a year so whatever just leave it til next time

The price of actually handling corner cases. How rubygems parses uid/gid in tar headers; how GNU tar does. When you go from handling 95% of cases to 99% of cases this difference in code complexity isn't that uncommon - an important lesson about software dev.

Idea: a tech conference called Tradeoffs where each talk is has two speakers debating the finer points of tech decisions for which there are no clear answers (i.e. all of them)

Oh dear, ECMAscript 2018 adds Shared Memory and Atomics.This will not end well. It would have been vastly better to add support for sharing immutable data between worker threads and thus build the perfect(*) actor VM. (*) including ubiquitous availability

The value of good software design is economic: you can continue to add new functionality quickly even as the code-base grows in size.
