While staying aligned with authority is a prerequisite to influencing executives, there are also some new communication skills for you to develop.

I have switched teams more often than I have had to implement an AVL tree, and you can guess which one of those two was taught in school.

I reported the problem to Telegram security, and they said it's not an issue. If you enable the feature of making yourself visible on the map, you're publishing your home address online.

Each of these tasks involves a pretty serious level of complexity, but by using Workers, we can abstract each of them into smaller pieces of functionality, and compose powerful, on-demand, and infinitely scalable webhooks directly on the serverless edge.

(...)some real-life horror stories that illustrate the potential problems of serverless in production — and how to avoid them.

We see Durable Objects as a low-level primitive for building distributed systems. Some applications can use objects directly to implement a coordination layer, or maybe even as their sole storage layer.

It’s cool to see the tech around our job evolve to the point that we can reach our arms around the whole thing (...) when web technology becomes simple enough that people can build things from start to finish all by themselves. That’s pretty cool.

20 minutes of your time to save 7 hours for the team. Your company will make that tradeoff every day. $40 of your expensive time for $420 of everybody else's time? Yes please.

The development cost of IE11 support is high. (...) but at a minimum, you should be employing the module/nomodule differential approach for serving legacy JavaScript. This ensures you don't penalize the ~98% of your users with modern browsers for the 1-2% of IE users.

Caching and de-duping HTTP requests helps facilitate local reasoning. This means that you think about a part of your code in isolation, without holding the entire system in your head. I'll get into more of why this has a huge impact on the way you code at the end of this post.
