The jemalloc memory allocator was first conceived in early 2004, and hasbeen in public use for about 20 years now. Thanks to the nature of open source software licensing,jemalloc will remain publicly available indefinitely. But active upstream development has come to anend. This post briefly desc...

The book explains the quality coach role, provides quality coach workshops with instructions and templates, and offers ideas on how to think about quality in modern engineering companies. While many articles focus on the team level, there is also advice on managing quality coaching within an organisation.

For people wanting artwork for software engineering talks, that milestone photo might be useful
i'm sure @FakeScrumStats could do something "milestone 1 reached -only 200 go. Also, you need to crawl faster"
Another thing we need to credit Bell Labs for is Version Control Software, first manifest as the SCCS system created by Marc J. Rochkind. Here's their 2025 retrospective. Of the VCS systems cited, I've used RCS, CVS, SVN, git and Clearcase. The latter being profound and terrifying at the same time (a version controlled distributed filesystem). I've also used used Microsoft VCS, which is a step back on all the others.
ASF still use SVN for release management as we can push out 500 GB binaries without having to download every single previous release artifact -and there is one source of truth. Oh, and there's permission management to restrict what I can do
Great paper

They say learning by example is the best way to learn. I'd like to share one such example of API design process based on a recent discussion with one of my colleagues: https://medium.com/@nerudaj/a-case-study-on-api-design-f22a8665cf2d
If you follow my #TuesdayCodingTips, this showcases a practical application of many of them.
And if you dislike clean code for whatever reason, this article is an example of how to overengineer your code in three simple steps I guess :D
