The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) federal agency announced earlier this month that health and personal information of more than three million health plan beneficiaries was exposed in the MOVEit attacks Cl0p ransomware conducted last year.

Never mind that you can also harvest code from any of your shelved projects. I mean why rewrite the Fisher–Yates shuffle algorithm if you have it already in a shelved game? Code for switching the monitor depth (on those early Macs) I moved from game to game… Polygon-point collision code, a sine lookup-table for quick trig functions, a dot-product routine, cross-product routines…
was the whole exercise of my guerilla programming technique a wash? Maybe. But it always served me well
There were times too when a coworker might have said, “You should have used a Bloom Filter” and I was able to come back with, “Yeah, already tried that but the typical data we are seeing is so small that the performance gains were negligible and added unnecessary complexity to the code base so I tossed it.” Boom!

A great feedback from a main Nuxt contributor about Open Source contribution
I think open source is a chance to step outside the normal producer-consumer dichotomy and enter the world of relationships. [...] is a chance to give and receive.
How to start contributing?
- If you are new to a project (as to a company), you have a priceless gift. You can see more clearly than people who are already there. You might be in a perfect position to challenge 'received wisdom.' 💡
- If you care about a project, then you are in the best position to make it better.
- Contributing to open source is a phenomenal way to grow.
Software is a way to get something done.
The followers of the Code It Yourself Manifesto believe in these things:
- We implement it according to our own goals.
- We make mistakes and learn from them.
- We learn how our tools we depend on need to work.
- We gain a deep understanding of our problem domain.
About writing their own RSS script:
I learned new things and got satisfaction out of seeing them run correctly. I get nothing like that out of comparing apps and services.
the biggest advantage echoes what Dr. Drang says: Programming is often more fun than the alternative uses of my time.
Three reasons why time spent programming is well spent and joyful:
- Learning: for example the EmojiHomepage to learn VueJS; Altercamp Live to learn "Phoenix LiveView" and practice OTP knowledge.
- Control: the software does exactly what you want + from the self-built programs come the IKEA Effect
- Creativity: creating anything is a desire and practicing it always leads to joyful experiences. That includes anything - complex systems, simple scripts, an article posted online, a wooden box.
The Hacker news discussion about this post has many testimony: side effects of programming without clear goal first. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24564835

Que la gravité de la Terre réussisse à piéger un astéroïde pendant plusieurs semaines, voire plusieurs mois, n’est pas un phénomène inédit – cela se produit plusieurs fois par décennie – mais il reste fascinant.

The form should be the following:
*links resources only from the same domain (same tld)
- no CDN / Captchas / geographical restrictions
- does not require JavaScript for main functions (including e.g. writing comments, registration or placing orders)
- works in text browsers like Lynx
- screenshots of whole page can be saved (no weird scrolling, fixed panels etc.)
- if I save the page as HTML, it can be viewed offline later (including all important assets)
- no tracking or affilate links
- no ad system, no aggressive adverts (moderate ones are acceptable, content:advert ratio should be somehow 90:10 or better)
- meaningful titles and links (not misleading and if I bookmark the page, I can find it by keyword later)
- images have alternative text and / or description
- cited or borrowed content from other authors has proper references
- links to downloadable files say also format and size, e.g. „technical documentation (PDF, 560 KiB, 84 pages)“
- all pages have a timestamp / date of creation and last change
- says who is the author (may be a pseudonyme) and what is the purpose of the website; something like impressum
- catalog of all pages or at least news are available as RSS/Atom/RDF machine-readable format
- no annoying cookie consents, newsletters, pop-ups, paywalls etc.
- generated content (AI and other) is clearly marked (if any) and differentiated from human-created content
- no automatically playing videos or sounds; no autoplay (unless explicitly turned on by the user)
Maybe I could share mine someday. #futureBilletDeBlog
