An image of a creature drawn by my daughter. She was using her tape dispenser as a template for the shape.
The episode is highly exciting, and I’ve now also listened to some of the other episodes as well.

Review of Composing Software
For a long time, I wanted to learn about the theoretical background of functional programming. But I always waited to do it. So, when I stumbled over a blog article by Eric Elliott (Composing Software: An Introduction), I decided to buy and read his book - Composing Software by Eric Elliott📚.

⤑ Candle: The privacy friendly smart home.

⤑ What your day will be like in 2039 (Mostly Pessimistic Version).
⤑ What your day will be like in 2039 (Mostly Optimistic Version).
These articles have an exciting concept, showing the duality of the future development of technology and our world. I usually tend to only think about the harmful outcomes of all these developments. But not everything needs to be bad. Unfortunately, I feel that the amount of people enjoying the beautiful sides will be smaller then the number of humans left out of this new world.

⤑ Unraveling the Secret Origins of an AmazonBasics Battery.

I certainly know the situations described in the first half of this article. The fear of refactoring. Or the problems with integrating a big feature branch after some time.
But what I’m missing in this article is how to work with features which change your data model in a big way, I have the feeling, that a feature toggle sounds easy in theory but creates quite some cost and complexity in the actual code.

⤑ descript: It’s how you make a podcast.
Stumbled over this company last week, the product looks interesting, but again something cloud-based :-(. I’m thinking about using this product to do the voice-over of my videos.
