Why DRY Is the Most Over‑Rated Programming Principle https://gordonc.bearblog.dev/dry-most-over-rated-programming-principle/
DRY was the first programming principle I encountered and probably the only one I knew during my first year as a developer. It’s also one of the simplest: if two pieces of code are identical, they should probably be a single piece. Hard to argue with that. Yet, like any principle, DRY has its place and works best in moderation. Because it’s so ubiquitous and easy to grasp, we tend to over‑apply it. So, without further ado, here are my three criticisms of DRY.

How Stack Overflow Is Leveling Up Its Unit‑Testing Game https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/07/04/how-stack-overflow-is-leveling-up-its-unit-testing-game/
We neglected unit tests for a long time because our codebase made them difficult. Now we’re putting in the effort to change that. Related: How Platform Engineering Accelerates Software Delivery.

In‑Depth Reading

Decentralized Apps, the Metaverse, and the “Next Big Thing” http://blog.archive.org/2022/07/05/decentralized-apps-the-metaverse-and-the-next-big-thing/
In the fifth session of “Imagining a Better Online World: Exploring the Decentralized Web”—a joint series with the Internet Archive, METRO Library Council, and Library Futures—Internet Archive Director of Partnerships Wendy Hanamura dives deep into the metaverse and NFTs through a conversation with pioneering metaverse developer Jin.

Why the HTML Outlining Algorithm Was Removed from the Spec – The Truth Will Shock You! https://brucelawson.co.uk/2022/why-the-html-outlining-algorithm-was-removed-from-the-spec-the-truth-will-shock-you/
It’s actually a good thing that the algorithm was stripped from the WHATWG spec (now that the W3C specs are effectively dead). I wish we could use a single generic heading everywhere and have its computed level communicated to assistive technologies. Browser vendors ignored both Sir Uncle Timbo and me (the temerity!), never implementing it—so removing it from the spec should improve accessibility.

Reimagining Front‑End Web Development with htmx and hyperscript https://nomadiq.hashnode.dev/reimagining-front-end-web-development-with-htmx-and-hyperscript
Recently, a handful of mavericks have turned away from heavyweight JavaScript frameworks and their bloated node_modules. But what if you want a smooth single‑page‑app experience without reloading the whole page on every click? And you don’t want to write boilerplate JS for every tiny interaction. That’s where hypermedia tools like htmx and hyperscript come in.

The origin story of a style nobody asked for.

Holograms, Light‑Leaks, and How to Build CSS‑Only Shaders https://robbowen.digital/wrote-about/css-blend-mode-shaders/
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: modern CSS is an astonishingly powerful tool, and I’m constantly amazed by the fidelity you can achieve. That said, we need to address the elephant in the room—depending on your device or browser, scrolling performance may suffer and your fans might spin up a notch.

Executing Shell Commands from Node.js https://2ality.com/2022/07/nodejs-child-process.html
In this blog post we explore how to run shell commands from Node.js using the built‑in node:child_process module.

Serverless Introspection Is Not Just For Machines https://medium.com/lego-engineering/serverless-introspection-is-not-just-for-machines-5cc90dcd52ba
There’s a fundamental shift when moving from thinking about UI layouts and interactions to the architectural and infrastructure mindset required for serverless computing.

Guidelines for Quality Management of Research Artifacts in Model‑Driven Engineering https://modeling-languages.com/guidelines-for-quality-management-of-research-artifacts-in-model-driven-engineering/
Artifact sharing helps researchers and practitioners build on existing knowledge, adopt novel contributions, and increase citation rates. In MDE research, there’s a strong push for sharing artifacts, large open datasets, and confidence measures about their quality—especially as the community embraces AI‑based techniques. This post summarizes a MoDELS’21 paper that proposes a set of quality guidelines tailored for MDE research artifacts.
