Kislay’s Newsletter #21

Hello everyone,

The twenty-first edition of my weekly newsletter is out! Check it out!

This week on the blog, I wrote a short rant on the role technology is playing in political crises around the world. I don’t know what the answer is, but technology operating at unfettered scale probably isn’t it. Let me know what you think of this.

From the internet, Jose Valim on a decade of the Elixir programming language, A 7 part series by Uwe Friedrichsen on the common myths of microservices, a classic on how complex systems fail, and an analysis of the ethic of social media and attention economy.

If you like reading about software engineering, organization design, and the occasional book review, you should subscribe to receive the next editions of this newsletter. Check out the archive and sign up.

If you like what you find, bring your friends and let’s talk software and teams! Drop me a line if you have any feedback about the newsletter or the stuff shared in it.

Cheers!

Kislay
