Weekly Concerns: the comeback
With my expanded focus, I decided to bring back my weekly link collection under the "Weekly Concerns" banner. Once again, this is just an excuse to avoid the work of having to write a real post.
- "using you're type's good by Gary Bernhardt" - a lightning talk from CodeMash 2014. Not quite as good as Wat (from CodeMash 2012), but still a very good piece of entertainment for developers.
- A news report from 1981 about the internet. Did you know that in the future you may read your newspaper ON YOUR COMPUTER!? "We aren't going to lose a lot [of money]..." Oh, you poor fool.
- An article about refactoring that I think demonstrates "sawtooth code" well
- Some code on-screen in an episode of Airwolf had a bug in it. Why do I know this? Internet.
- I recently moved this site to Windows Azure. This is the first site on Azure I ever had to move out of the "free" plan (since I'm using a custom domain name). I find this calculator to be very helpful when estimating what I'll be paying.
