Architecture Weekly #66 - 14th March 2022

Welcome to the new week.

Ukraine is still under brutal Russian invasion. A lot of Ukrainian people are hurt, without shelter and need help. You can help in various ways, for instance, directly helping refugees, spreading awareness, putting pressure on your local government or companies. You can also support Ukraine by donating e.g. to Red Cross, Ukraine humanitarian organisation. You may also consider joining Tech for Ukraine initiative.

This week I especially would like to recommend:

• Dan North - CUPID ‒ for joyful coding!

• Alexei Ledenev - Pumba: chaos testing tool for Docker

• Craig Topham - Publication of the FSF-funded white papers on questions around Copilot

• Erik Wiffin - How to get the most out of your 1:1s

Check also other links.

Stay healthy and safe.
