With few exceptions, you should NEVER start generating new ideas in a group - always start with people writing ideas alone and only then move to a group setting. (We've known starting with groups is worse for 50 years, but people still keep doing it since it feels more creative)

One of the things that surprised me following last week's Jepsen report on Radix DLT (jepsen.io/analyses/radix-dltβ¦) was seeing both blockchain/DLT people *and* the database community go "Hang on, 16 transactions per second can't be right"--and expecting wildly different figures.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.
How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

500 million API calls EVERY SECOND π€―... Imagine that.

I hit 2100 rating on #lichess rapid!! Huge thanks to @GmNaroditsky and @hellokostya for their amazing YouTube videos - they have improved my play so much. What next?! (don't say OTB, I've never played OTB and it sounds terrifying) π

The use of Task as a shared await-able future in this hidden code sample is the answer to a dozen questions I had about async composition in Swift 5.5.
