1. Learn Blockchains by Building One by Daniel van Flymen

You’re here because, like me, you’re psyched about the rise of Cryptocurrencies. And you want to know how Blockchains work — the fundamental technology behind them.

But understanding Blockchains isn’t easy — or at least wasn’t for me. I trudged…

2. Testing Node.js in 2018 by Nick Parsons

Stream powers feeds for over 300+ million end users. With all of those users relying on our infrastructure, we’re very good about testing everything that gets pushed into production. Our primary codebase is written in Go, with some remaining bits of Python.

Our recent showcase application, Winds 2.0, is…

3. Ruby on Rails to Lucky on Crystal: Blazing fast, fewer bugs, and even more fun. by Paul Smith

I love Ruby and I love Rails, but I’ve found myself searching for something more. Something fast so I don’t need to add caching. Something type-safe so customers see fewer bugs. Something fun to use so I actually enjoy building applications.

Would Elixir scratch my itch? It was a good start. It made it fun to write…

4. Reacting to React.js by Puyan Wei

Literally a month ago there was excitement in the Vue.js community that Vue.js got more stars than React.js on github. Stars like Hollywood stars? Really, no lol, but maybe metaphorically… or philosophically?

Github stars is a way for developers to effectively bookmark that page so that…

5. Why Increased Scrutiny is Good for ICOs & the Industries they Disrupt by Reza Jafery

It seems like the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) mania of 2017 (and early 2018) is beginning to skitter to a halt. While it may have been possible to raise millions for a cryptocurrency based on damn near anything last year, the landscape is changing. Both retail investors and regulators are smartening up. Retail investors are…

6. A fresher’s guide to DevRel by Srushtika Neelakantam

Where I come from, i.e India, the term ‘fresher’ is used to indicate a person who has just finished graduation and has no work experience. Today, I cease to be a fresher. It’s as much refreshing as it’s nostalgic. It’s also sad that like a lot of other things, I’m done being a fresher and I already feel old.

I got my first job…

7. Why AI Will Bring an Explosion of New Jobs by Daniel Jeffries

AI terrifies a lot of people.

But it’s the end of all jobs that horrifies…

10. How to Push out SaaS as Quick as Possible by Emil Bruckner

Set out to build something? Don’t spend your time on building. Spend your time on talking to customers and marketing your product. That’s especially true for solopreneurs. The problem is that building a web or mobile app takes way more time then we’d like.

We’ve all heard…

11. Simple React Development in 2018 by Joshua Comeau

12. SoftBank is Stifling Entrepreneurship by Max Zamkow

The story of Silicon Valley is one of regular cycles. A company is founded, scales rapidly, it’s employees start their own companies, and the cycle repeats.

The first cycle began in 1965 with Shockley Semiconductor, the first silicon-based high tech company in the bay area. In less than two years the company…

13. Why It Is Not Working For You? It’s Time To Introspect by Pramod Chandrayan

It has been my personal experience that if things are not happening as per your expectations in your personal and professional life, It is you, who are responsible. It is you, who is a loser, it is you, who don’t have the required skills-set to deliver. It is you, who don’t have the material to run the business, so it is time to…

14. How to Select the Right IoT Hardware: From Prototype to Production by Jeffrey Lee

IoT development boards and modules are at the heart of every connected product. As IoT has developed, the variety and technical capabilities of these boards has only become more complex.

17. The Tools We Need to Implement Liquid Democracy by Coalichain

18. Data Marketplaces: The Holy Grail of our Information Age by Jeremiah Smith

21. The Programmer’s Guide to Booking a Plane by Zeke Gabrielse

About two months ago, I wanted to go on a vacation. I had the hotel more or less picked out, but the transportation was still up in the air.

I began by scouring the web for cheap plane tickets, like normal travel folks seem to do. I scoured all of the fancy airlines, but all of their fares were too…

22. A Review of Udacity’s React Nano Degree by Bilal Tahir
