We often come across the problem of people on a distributed team needing to communicate securely in order to share login credentials, etc. This is the best tool we have found so far for the job. Definitely worth a look if you have those same needs.
Logging isn’t always given the attention it deserves when building a system. It is vitally important to the operating of one though. This blog post gives a few highlights of the areas to consider. Each topic chould be a blog post of its own…
You may have heard of the notion of embeddings in the context of Machine Learning. It is a fascinating topic, and useful in a great many contexts. This artcle is perhaps the clearest explanation of them I have seen yet.
Time is a tricky thing to deal with. Having built a task management app for iOS, I can tell you horror stories. The important thing to know is whether the time of interest is in the past or the future. If it is in the future, is it scheduled for an absolute time? Or relative to a location/timezone?

We’ve worked on projects that have been distributed across the globe - from China to South America. What isn’t widely appreciated is that software development requires a high degree of coordination and communication between developers. We’ve found it works much more effectively when developers are within a few timezones of each other (preferable +/-2) in order to allow the necessary real-time communication and collaboration that makes a project successful. This article makes the point in more detail.
If you work in the technology arena, you have undoubtably witnessed, or partaken in, heated debates on any number of topics. We are able to debate the merits of tabs vs spaces with passion :) This essay gives advice on how to effectively engage with someone in a non-emotionally charged manner.
Strimzi is a project for running Kafka on Kubernetes (or OpenShift if that is your cup of tea). Kafka is the current go-to pubsub messaging platform, but it takes a bit of know-how to manage. This project looks like it lowers the bar for folks to get started.
