What happened last week

A week before, I mentioned that layoffs are happening and I may be affected by them. I’m still not sure about my future, but during the last week, thanks to the huge help of others, I managed to find some opportunities that made me feel better about my future.

Apart from this - today, together with Alvaro, we’ll be doing a stream about TresJS.

Post Mortem on Cloudflare Control Plane and Analytics Outage — Matthew Prince

It wasn’t the best week for Cloudflare - they experienced two major outages, which affected millions of users worldwide. On the other hand - their Post Mortems after each outage are amazing - they always explain what and why happened and how they plan to fix it. Every company should implement such an approach.

Why you should probably be using SQLite — Kent C. Dodds

Kent explains why going with SQLite, in many cases, can be a great idea. Not only it’s fast, it’s still SQL, but also it’s just a file, so moving it around is much simpler. There are some downsides, but in most cases, the pros outweigh the cons.

Announcing Angular.dev — Emma Twersky

It was a great week for Angular - they showed the new branding, documentation, and today, Angular v17 was released.

I must admit that I love the new colors and logo - it’s less corporate and more cool.

How Core Web Vitals saved users 10,000 years of waiting for web pages to load

Was Rust Worth It? — Jarrod Overson

Jarrod shares his thoughts about switching to Rust. He points out all the good, the bad, and the ugly.

VaahCMS

I’m a sucker for testing new CMSs. VaahCMS looks quite interesting; it’s headless, and it’s written in PHP - that's a lot of green flags for me. Can’t wait to test it.
