inkelinks S02E22

Hello, folks, I hope you’re doing well. Next week I’ll be in vacation mode, meaning it’s likely there won’t be an inkelinks episode for you.

• Warp: the blazingly fast, Rust-based terminal [5m]
  Finally some innovation in the terminals landscape; the blocks feature looks really neat! I’m very happy with my old, slow terminal, but this one maybe I’ll give it a try. Or maybe I’ll first try to run a terminal within my Emacs.
• Pre-Mortem: Working Backwards in Software Design [8m]
  Interesting and counterintuitive way to design software by first imagining failing and then working backwards to find a solution. Might try and implement it in my next assignment.
• Reducing flaky builds by 18x [6m]
  The GitHub team did an amazing job removing flaky builds, and they tell us some interesting ideas on how you can achieve the same.

Podcast of the week

Video Game Programming From Scratch With Casey Muratori [42m]
Very interesting interview on how to start programming literally from scratch. Some controversial opinions, but you got to admire Casey’s passion when he talks about the subject.
