Look, let’s be honest. Working with React is often a joy, but sometimes (or many times?), the performance gotchas make you want to scream (and bang your head on the wall). You write “clean code”, you use your “hooks” correctly, and yet, your application feels sluggish because some overly-eager component…

Starfleet s one of the most wasteful organizations in an imaginary world. It’s a total head-scratcher. Standard is three live backup systems for each live system? It’s like, a true engineer starts from a redundancy, LOL. I wonder how much faster their warp engines could be, if they decided to…

Look, I’ve had a truly genius idea for an incident management tool (inspired by a conversation with a fantastic work colleague), and I’m pretty sure it’s the only honest one out there. I call it “Stoopid Uumans“, or “SU” for short. You know, like “super user” in development, but in…

DBT, or Data Build Tool, has become a popular choice for data teams, but it’s not the right fit for ?any? situation.

One day at Zoopla, it hit us: we were moving slowly, people were leaving, and we couldn’t clearly connect our work to the company’s goals—let alone revenue. We didn’t even know where to begin improving. It was draining. We couldn’t keep that for too long. So, we started where we…
