One critical piece of the software development process that often gets neglected by companies and also by many open-source projects is explaining how it works and how it can be used to solve the problem in question. Documentation is often lacking and people have an hard time figuring out how they can use or contribute […]
Git by itself is a distributed version control system (a very popular one), but over the years organizations started to rely on some internet services to manage their repositories and those services eventually become the central/single source of truth for their code.

Correctly managing this “supply-chain” ends up being very important and having a big impact on the end product. As a developer you should be cautious about the dependencies you include on your project, as I explained in […]

Nowadays most software projects with a “decent size” rely on many software dependencies, or in other words: libraries and tools, developed by other people. That usually are under constant change. The reasons for these are clear and can go from implementing common patterns and avoid repeating ourselves, to accelerate the development, to use mature implementations […]
