A nice list of slashpages you might want to consider including / aliasing / 301ing. These feel like nice things to setup and keep in the back pocket for obsidian style wiki link to easily. I get kinda bad at wiki-linking as much as I would like to, mostly because it does require some amount of work to make the page, and keep it up to date over time, then remember that you even have it.
Some are serious, some very common, some quite useful.

Theo does a fantastic history of serverless here.
Kubernetes shit # [1]
Theo can’t have an infra video without shitting on k8s. Specifically people who have never touched k8s pushing fear of k8s to large audiences of people who have never touched k8s. If you are a webdev who solely lives in webdev space and never touches as much as a dockerfile listen to him. If you touch infra at all try it before you take his opinion at face value.

Serverless shines in high variance # [3]
If you plan on having traffic spikes 10x your regular traffic for something like black friday, serverless might be right for your use case.
stateless programming # [4]
He argues that targeting a stateless deployment of serverless leads to better code. I’d like to see more examples here. Maybe most of the code bases I work on already do this. I’ve never targeted a serverless deployment, but I’ve targeted horizontally scaled deployments many times and they feel like they have the same targets. For instance if I spin up 8 pods for my application or uvicorn with 3 workers I have to target statelessness, all of the state must live in the database and cannot live in memory. Even if I target 1 instanc...

Lane from boot.dev madde this fantastic video about serving files on the internet. It has me wondering if I need to rethink a few of my things that I have built. I have a few things I am serving media from, but I have very aggressive cloudflare cache rules on them, so each file should only be uploaded about once per year.
My problem going straight out of minio right now is how do i set headers for cache control on it. If I can’t set the cache control and everything is coming out of minio this does not solve my problems.
---
I went back and played with presigned urls and you can in fact control and set response headers, this is definitely the way and I have been wrong.

The beautiful sentence that is the web
A metaphor for the building blocks of web development.
cassidoo.co [1]
Nicely worded Cassidy! Javascript can be too much, it can bog down low powered devices, we can ship so much that its untenable on poor connections. It can be argued that its a bad language and putting it on the server is a mistake, but it brings sites to life. It makes it possible to extend the static nature of html [2]/css with just a little special spice only your site needs.
I’d add to the argument that a lot of js should go away over time. Over time libraries such as jquery have fallen out of use, not because they are bad, or have been replaced by new libraries, but because the browser has adopted most of the functionality that jquery brought.
As a primarily python dev I’d really like to see htmx [3] die a very similar graceful death. There have been several iterations on this idea, and the crux of it is very similar, give the ability to use HTTP verbs right inside html with some instruction of when to apply them and what to apply them to.
No js should not go away, it never will, we will always find new patterns that the browser should take, sites will always n...

Atuin v18.4 is out with an atuin wrapped command.
Here’s Ellie’s Wrapped.
[2]
This is a pretty sick command, I’ve only been using Atuin about as long as I’ve been on bazzite, so maybe 4 months, but here is my wrapped.
[3]
Comparing to Ellie, I’m surprised that I even have 126 package related commands, being on an immutable distro most of my packages come from the container, I don’t need to run packaging commands. My cd is also super low, I use tmux sessions to take me where I need to be most of the time, which is a project’s root directory, It’s pretty rare to see me outside of a project root directory.
I’d venture to guess that nvim would be higher if it didn’t auto start on every tmux session as well.

Theo weighing in on the 2025 job market. It’s no 2018 out there right now, the ratio of jobs to engineers in the market has flipped big time. Theo as usual really focuses on community, being in a community, and being a good citizen. At the end of the video Theo weighs in on his experience hiring, and generally it starts with we need someone to do x does anyone know someone, then goes to a more formal internal post, then more formally asking internally does anyone know someone, then maybe to his community, and if he really still needs the person it might become an external post. These days there are so many good engineers on the market that very few good jobs actually get a posting for in his opinion.

This tip of using tinkercad to do boolean operations on an stl of a solid gridfinity bin and an outline is absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥. This feels like a relatively simple operation, but to do it to a generated stl proves hard to do in most modeling software, at least harder than it needs to be. Somehow tinkercad got it right and made it a very basic operation to do.

Great list of 4 tips for running fastapi applications.
Keep routes small # [2]
Fat routers with all of the logic built in makes them hard to test, hard to refactor, causes lots of duplication, and makes it hard to reuse the business logic code later in something like a cli application.
Deploy Early # [3]
I really like this advice! He reccommends deploying as early as you can get a healthcheck live in your application. I’ve found too many times developers build something that is really hard, or impossible to deploy, when if they had tried to deploy early they would have spotted some easy to fix issues. This is less important if you are building out of a template that your team commonly deploys from, but very important with new patterns.

- Place the script in a directory that’s in my shell’s PATH variable (e.g. cp my_script.py ~/bin/my_script)
And here is the new format the the shebang followed by the metadata comment block defined in PEP 723.

I got the ADHD, too
This month I got my official diagnosis for Adult ADHD. It’s fun to share experiences with friends. While ADHD presents some new waters to navigate, it isn’t exactly news to me. Thanks to Dr. Ti...

Cheers to the Unique brains dave. I can say I am 100% with Dave on all of these, except the clean environment thing, lucky Dave. If I have enough room to see what I am doing and walk around a mess, I probably wont even notice it. I’m so hyper focused on what is right in front of me that mess could be a huge pile of cash and i’d never see it.

I love me some styled rss, it’s how the OG [2] internet was made to be. You choose what you want to read and when. There is no middleman aggregator inflating the reach of things they want you to see or suffocating things against them. It’s just you and your internet friends.

Cassidy has a quite lovely and easy to read rss feed, with an open source style sheet, that is part of her open source blog template for astro blahg [5], love that name by the way!

Dave Rupert’s Feed [7] # [8]
I first learned of styled rss feeds from shoptalkshow.com, specifically from Dave Rupert [9].

Dave uses a pretty bog standard styled rss feed with pretty-feed-v3 [11]. This repo is probably the best place to start if you are looking to style your rss feed.

My RSS Feed [12] # [13]
My feed comes from my static site generator markata [14], a plugins all the way down static site generator written in python, made for customizing, lacking just about any and all docs so you are on your own.

Today i got hit by this accessibility issue on my site. Low contrast links are not distiniquishable. I had not seen this error title before it was new to me, maybe I have bad memory or maybe it’s new to me.
I ended up dropping the background color of the site down a notch as I didn’t
really care for the semi-dark brown anyways. I’m liking the near black
bg-zinc-950 much better now.
Now I got that 100 A11y score in lighthouse.
