Clean Code doesn't work—not because the principles are wrong, but because the real world is dirty, chaotic, unpredictable, and asynchronous. The best code I’ve ever seen violated a good half of Clean Code’s commandments.
If a developer claims the badge of mid-level-plus but doesn’t feel at ease in at least the five principal paradigms—they are a pompous fool, and you should show them the door.
Little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go.
Some degree of ownership over the code you write is inevitable and probably healthy. You should care about the things you build! But that doesn’t mean you have any actual ownership. The codebase you spend time on at work is the company’s codebase, and they can do whatever they want with it. You should communicate the risks and consequences of decisions, but ultimately it’s not your call.
An overview of what makes modern CSS so awesome.
The 2025 Go Developer Survey results, focused on developer sentiment towards Go, use cases, challenges, and developer environments.
Platypus is a developer tool that creates native Mac applications from command line scripts such as shell scripts or Python, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript and PHP programs. This is done by wrapping the script in a macOS application bundle along with an app binary that runs the script.
Following are the main red flags in test assignments that should be avoided:
The assignment was read and understood in full.
All parts are implemented.
Industry-standard tools and frameworks are used.
The code is split into small, readable functions.
Variables have descriptive names.
Complex parts have comments.
Errors are handled, error messages are easy to follow.
Source files are organized reasonably.
The web interface looks nice.
There are tests.
Avoid these AI giveaways and spread the word!
I've written a number of little scripts over the years, many of which I use every day. Here's a little collection.
The safest and most reliable way to deal with feature flags is to hardcode them
This is the first result to break the O(m+ n log n) time bound of Dijkstra’s algorithm on sparse graphs, showing that Dijkstra’s algorithm is not optimal for SSSP.
The more time you spend designing systems, the more paranoid you get about things going wrong
Occasionally, you will see the opportunity to completely remove the worrying part of the system, which for me is one of the most satisfying things you can do as a software engineer. Removing things that cause your team stress has compounding benefits to your team, to the systems you work on, and to your engineering org in general
Plenty of books and blogs will tell you how to develop your functional programming skills or teach you algorithms. But if you’re already pretty good at that stuff, you might be better off trying to become a more virtuous human being: more in control of your emotions, more able to hold your nerve in times of crisis, and humbler about the institutional power your technical knowledge grants you.
Avoid these things:
Asking the developer how things should work: It’s your responsibility to know how a feature should work; if you don’t, how can you test it?
Reporting bugs outside of the ticket: Avoid informal bug discussions, as they waste time for you and your team.
Using vague phrases like “This does not work properly”: ‘Properly’ is unclear—specify exactly what’s wrong.

Instead of trying to shorten the time that our builds take, we order and chain them by complexity, thus gradually reducing the risk.
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. The structural constraints and permissions in the database determine the API endpoints and operations.
Sounds like a way to write less code. I skimmed through the reference, looks cool. PostgREST is written in Haskell for some reason though.
HTMX in PostgREST!

A story of a Julius who lacks knowledge but has good charisma. There's a lot to learn from such Julii.
Если код работает, это не значит, что задачу пора закрывать. От двадцати минут, потраченных сверху, вреда не будет — прод не сгорит, менеджер подождет. Зато спасет день коллеги, который вкатывается в проект.
We all know that naming things in programming is hard. If you’ve read this entire post it just got a little bit harder.
We are adding a new generated code API to Go Protobuf.
DevCrowd вместе с Авито провели исследование рынка Go-разработчиков, 2024
Не люблю, когда для обхода данных нужна пагинация. Всякие LIMIT/OFFSET,nextToken и прочие костыли.
Да!
PostgreSQL Query Plan Visualizer add new plan
Идемпотентность — звучит сложно, говорят о ней редко, но это касается всех приложений, использующих API в своей работе. Меня зовут Денис Исаев, и я руковожу одной из бэкенд групп в Яндекс Такси. Сегодня я поделюсь с читателями описанием проблем, которые могут возникнуть, если не учитывать идемпотентность распределенных систем в своем проекте.
There is a single advice I would give to anyone writing software, and specially to great devs : Always optimize your code for your most junior developers. I agree that it is not a very popular advice, but it is the one that, in my experience, give the biggest bang for the buck.
