Engineering

Deployment reliability at GitHub - I really love the recent blog posts about building GitHub, they are not very technical, but give a high level view of their efforts

Making GitHub’s new homepage fast and performant - more from GitHub on their fancy globe that probably nobody sees

Slack’s Outage on January 4th 2021 - scaling issues with AWS and monitoring closely linked to production systems

Buffer overflow in command line unescaping - I always found sudo a bit weird, turns out it also has been insecure for a while

Urbanism

Bat boxes, 'greened' streets and bug hotels: Barcelona embraces its wild side - a bit of green-washing, but still nice to see
