C'mon and join the jam sesh, bro, we're burning some bridges! |
A Man, A Plan, Planama. Nailed it.Survey results and plans from here on inThanks to those people who jumped into the survey and helped me out with their ideas and preferences last week - my entire job at this point is making Versioning a thing people (you) want, so this was very handy! From the responses you gave, it was clear that, in addition to the newsletter, you were keen on things like updates to important subjects (that can be updated over time) and explanations of new subjects. So, the plan! Versioning members will receive:
Other random editions - like the SpaceX launch I posted about last week - will also come out, but this is the stuff you can count on. Other ideas - like guest forwards to the newsletter - are also in discussion, we'll see how things progress. I'll be updating the Membership page with this info soon, but I wanted to let you know what's in store first. Thanks again for helping me with this survey. If you didn't get to it, but you have an idea I haven't covered here, here's the survey link again. Thanks! OK CalculatorFront-endAn intro to subatomic design systems [daneden], an interesting way of conceptualizing design, based on stuff like Atomic Design, BEM, and functional programming. The text of a talk by designer, writer and clever person Frank Chimero, summing up how it's always been a little complex to develop a website, but right now it's incredibly complex [frankchimero]. Rekit [medium/nate_wang] is a React/Redux IDE. React Agent [github/yokyak] is a library for managing client and server-side state. Challenge: build a calculator with CSS Grid [scotch]. The front-end interview handbook [github/yangshun]. How to do very well on a take-home coding challenge [fullstackinterviewing]. Thank Your Lucky StarsMobile/back-end/programmingThanks [github/feross] is a library making it easier to thank the open source maintainers whose work you depend on. In the spirit of the project, thanks to SitePoint books editor Simon Mackie, who passed this on. Here's an SQL query for you - do you actually know anything about modern SQL? A quiz to help you find out [windowfunctions]. How to prevent cryptojacking on your site [scotthelme]. How the Microsoft App Center can help with building, testing and delivering iOS apps [sitepoint]. How to bring GraphQL into your Spring Boot apps [github/creactiviti]. A video guide to using COMMAND PROMPT in Python [youtube/analystrising]. Dead AWS Lambda functions are a problem - they make your serverless set-up harder to manage, less secure and less performant. How to rid yourself of this curse [medium/epsagon]. And some templates for Tensorflow projects [github/mrgemy95]. Nothing PersonalDesign/UX/productAs an insufferable record collecting hipster, this intro to "weird vinyl design [magenta] could not be more relevant to my interests. An argument against user personas [medium/@merci]. When I first saw the headline, I misread it as "persons" and I was still like, "yeah, it makes sense that someone would have written that." You should focus on the customer, not the competition. JotForm's founder Aytekin Tank has an example[medium/swlh]. Breaking Up is Hard to DoNews/businessMixpanel has been inadvertently harvesting login credentials since March [techcrunch]. And all Ledger physical cryptocurrency wallets have a flaw that'll let hackers scoop up your coins [thenextweb]. Uh, that blockbuster Waymo/Uber trial ended rather abruptly, didn't it? (A theory about why [theverge]. TL;DR - they kinda both didn't have it. Facial recognition tech is pretty accurate if you're a white guy. If you're not, it's not so good [nytimes]. I wonder if there's some kind of systemic reason for this. Probably a series of coincidences though. North Korea has sent hackers all over the place with a single goal - make money for the country. Bloomberg met some [bloomberg]. Time to break up Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook [esquire], Scott Galloway argues. This is a beautiful collection of (written) pieces on the ongoing move to a post-text world [nytimes]. I'm sure it's available as a podcast episode or a collection of Snapchat videos or something, who can be bothered reading, right? Also, group chat is probably stressing you out [m.signalvnoise]. Depends on the group, surely. That's from the company that kinda started this whole group chat thing, by the way, so comes from a bit of experience. Never talk about pricing [medium/fluxx-studio-notes]. Laser is the SauceEverything else (apps, fun tools, gaming, culture, funny stuff)Enjoy content. Not too much. Mostly paid [techcrunch]. That philosophy reminds me of a newsletter I like… Is it called Ver-something? I can't remember. Gaming should be done in moderation, Buddhist monks say [waypoint.vice]. My mum, too! A rare amazing Twitter thread below. Simple, amazing premise: choose a popular gif, find its backstory. The replies are quite good. I wanna create a thread called #GifHistory. Send a gif that you want to know the backstory to and we'll try to find the original video. Finally, while his ethical insight is perhaps a little limited, there's no doubt Travis Kalanick has a way with words. Here's a guide to talking like Travis [arstechnica]. I'm going to launch a Kickstarter for a podcast consisting entirely of Travis endlessly explaining jazz. There you have it, a jam sesh full of some of the best links I could locate. I'll have some more tomorrow, or you can come collect your pound of flesh. (Please don't.) See you tomorrow!
