Recruiting for Managers, Designing for APIs, Editors for HTML, and JSON for Arduinos
- How to Recruit (Michael Lopp) — For every open job on your team, you need to spend one hour a day on recruiting-related activities. Cap that investment at 50% of your time. No open reqs? There’s still important and ongoing work you need to do on a regular basis that I’ll describe below.
- API-First Transformation at Etsy Concurrency — building APIs (or “service layers” or “microservices” or sub-containerized-micro-virtualized-cloud-endpoints or whatever they are called today) presents really interesting design challenges, and it’s great to read how Etsy solved them.
- Quill 1.0 — sweet in-page edit box w/formulae, styles, extensibility.
- ArduinoJson — small-footprint JSON library that’s particularly useful for embedded systems. Cue old-school embedded systems engineers to snort at JSON being “small footprint.”
