- Brexit - Varadkar and Merkel discuss May's Brexit deal in phonecall - It's quite annoying that they keep calling it a deal, when in fact it isn't a deal yet, small point but it's actually makes a big difference in how people view the situation, it makes both sides look bad
- Elon Musk is back on his weird tweets again - Clearly Armstrong isn't an Alien but it's a heck of a naming coincidence - By the way bizarre naming coincidences are unbelievably common in society, maybe it's a sign ... :)
- Awesome cheatsheets for popular programming languages, frameworks and development tools, they include everything you should know in one single file - Sort of interesting and compact code-based format
- project-guidelines - A set of best practices for JavaScript projects - some pretty good tips, short and concise, the git tips are really useful
- An article about architecting and building your apps using layers - I'm linking to this article because it's quite well written and has some examples, overall though I'm not convinced that such an architecture is needed in the vaste majority of web applications - the danger is that it completely engulfs everything you do and think until even going for a piss involves some form of unnecessary layering and information hiding - IMO better to keep your app architecture simple
- Threads in Node 10.5.0: a practical intro
- Securing SSH - Allow/Denying & Match Statements
- Rethinking JavaScript Test Coverage - Interesting writeup of the path taken to get native code coverage working in nodejs
