via Zach Leatherman: A few weeks ago I asked y’all what blog posts were most influential to how you build for the web. I had a lot of fun building a little micro-site for these links and it’s now available:

via Rust Weekly: Change in Guidance on Committing Lockfiles | Rust Blog

Arash Sal Moslehian: “We take a peek at the inner workings of Tokio, an asynchronous runtime for Rust that provides scheduling, networking, and many other primitive operations for managing asynchronous tasks.”

via Rust Weekly: Stateful Property Testing in Rust

“Rust has great support for type-driven design, which can guide you towards robust and idiomatic code to enforce invariants at compile-time. Always be on the lookout for ways to let the type-system guide you towards stronger abstractions.”

via Bruno Baketarić: “There’s a commonly held myth that a lack of a time-bound delivery commitment, such as a sprint demonstration, will lead to a lack of focus, laziness, and increasingly long delivery times. There is, in fact, no such evidence from more than a decade of training and coaching for a living and wish to dissuade adoption of Kanban or customers from switching.” (David J. Anderson, 2023 in ‘Discovering Kanban’, p. 108)

via Kevin Stewart: </> htmx ~ Hypermedia On Whatever you’d Like

via Melissa & Chris Bruntlett: “0.5% of Dutch cyclists wear helmets, and that’s really just sport cyclists. They’ve ultimately decided that it’s far more important to build this culture of everyday cycling, and to build safe streets, instead of requiring people to protect themselves.”

via Jon Reid: @woolie I see very few teams functioning as teams. It might be easier if my views came out in a coherent article rather than tooted in pieces, so check this out if you’re interested. (No obligation to read! I’m also happy to continue tooting.)

via a co-worker: VitePress: Vite & Vue Powered Static Site Generator

via Rust Weekly: Picking the right Rust web framework in 2023

via kottke.org: Career advice: keep a current “brag document” that lists what you’ve accomplished with your work. As a one-person company, I often get too caught up in how much I’m not getting done, so this might be a worthwhile exercise for me.

If you’re like me and run [an instance] just for yourself, then sometimes those URLs can be a bit messy. Homecoming for Mastodon is a Safari extension that basically just adds a button … it will open a page from another instance in your own.
