Weeklies are my notes of things not big enough for a blog post but worthy of being mentioned and linked to. Find all of my Weeklies at /weeklies.

  • Lab Notebooks

    Keeping notes is a topic close to my heart as the readers of my blog know and I really enjoyed reading this exploration and explanation of lab notebooks by Sam.

  • Notes for new hires

    Clinton shares good lessons learned from onboarding new hires to teams and projects.

  • Code Reviews Do Find Bugs

    The benefits of code review processes are often under discussion, especially when contrasting trusted team vs. open source or code review vs. pair programming views. Chris shares here a research by Microsoft on the topic and expands on its findings.

  • GUIs are Antisocial

    Michael quotes a podcast where Jeffrey Snover discusses how solving problems in the command-line creates a shareable artefact where solving problems with graphical user interface doesn’t.

  • A Rant about Front-end Development

    Frank wrote an entertaining rant about how Javascript and framework focused development is making frontend worse.
