As you may know I have a curated list of RSS feeds that spans across DIY, woodworkers, tech companies, developers, designer, OSS projects and so on.

Today I want to share with you a couple of articles what I think you should look at.

“A write-ahead log is not a universal part of durability” from Phil Eaton. We all love to read about database internals because there are so many of them. All different but also with a lot in common. For sure the write head log is a component that many databases have. Phil writes straight about it with simple to understand code snippets.

Not at all a new article but an evergreen for me that really explains what innovation coins are. “Choose Boring Technology”.

Brr was an anonymous blog about a person running code at the Antarctica! I speak at the past because the author reveled his identity recently, and he is looking for a job! I am sure he is a nice person you want to share a meal with, I am sure he has many stories to share. Take a look at his blog!

I am not sure if it is a phrase from our of the GitHub founders, but I am sure somebody at some point pointed out that if you clone one of your external dependencies locally you will quickly discover that is just code that you can update, manipulate and make it to work. Cloning a repository is the first step to make a code contribution! Thorsten wrote an article titled: “Things you can do with codebases” that speaks about what you can do with all the codebases we have around us. That may look intimidating but in reality are an infinite source of knowledge.

A list of advice that personally are giving me a lot to think about. So I am not sure if it is because I am still junior or because those advices do not have an expiration time! “Advice to the young” from @Murat. “Manage the stories you tell yourself” is something I recently wrote about. There is not good or bad, it all depends on yourself and the environment you are into. Both needs to be carefully curated.
