"database engineers are some of the best programmers in the world." Some Andy Pavlo to kick off 2024. Learnings on everything from rap music to redis alternatives, DuckDB integrations, Larry Elison's personal life and a spectrum of databases to look out for in 2025.

Chapters 7 and 8 of the Staff Engineer's Path should be read by all leaders, whether technical or not. Good formalisation of vision and strategy, and taking everyone on the journey.

NinjaLab found the side channel when putting the Yubikey 5 through its paces. Yubico has confirmed the vulnerability and stopped using the vulnerable crypto library Infineon sells. As of Friday-72 hours after a coordinated dislosure-Infineon has yet to say a word publicly about the vulnerability.

Infineon hasn't even obtained a CVE for this vulnerability. The company says the initial email I sent seeking comment got caught in a spam filter. The PR person seemed completely unaware of the my Ars Technica post (arstechnica.com/security/202... ) when we finally connected on Friday.

Whenever opening this app, I think about Lt. Cmdr. Data singing Blue Skies in Nemisis. Wonder if it's just me; Bkue skies do I see.

Cool. One can bridge between fedi and bs.

Microblogging platforms are like streaming platforms these days. So many. Someone keeps nicking my once unique, decades old, handle, so here I am. Although more aligned with fedi.

I received a physical copy of Lizard Optimization from Gojko. Tips on hidden retention and growth opportunities which are hidden in plain sight within the quirky use cases of customers misusing your software. Recommended! Also on lean pub. Check out my infoq coverage: www.infoq.com/news/2024/07...
