Here are a bunch of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I came across recently and found them very resourceful.
Technical :
- P99 CONF (centered around low-latency, high-performance design) recordings are available here
- Python f-strings can do more than you thought. Video here
- Web3 is not a hype. An article on what is Web3 and decentralized internet here. Also, a podcast by Tim Ferris with Chris Dixon and Naval Ravikant — The Wonder of Web3.
- Another one of those — “20 Things I’ve learned in my 20 years as a Software Engineer.“
- Most helpful sed one liners – here
- How WhatsApp scaled to 1 billion users with only 50 Engineers. – here
- The “Advent of code” will be live on December 1st. Here is some history about it. Discussion thread.
Non-Technical :
- Traveling(rather walking) without money! Although old(1998) event, still shows world is not that bad of a place. Link “MY PENNILESS JOURNEY“
- There was this mega-thread on twitter for “one book that changed the way you see the world”. – The consolidated list from the thread on BooksChatter here.
- Matthew McConaughey addressing University of Houston outgoing students — “5 Rules for the life” (Rule #1 is my fav)
- Extract from a book:
“If you think about the biographies you read or the documentaries you watch about the greats in various fields, this same pattern of Addictive, Passionate behavior surfaces. Jazz saxophone great John Coltrane reportedly practiced so much that his lips would bleed.”
The Passionate Programmer
Have a great week!
