Welcome, Developers! 👋 Happy 4th of July to those celebrating! Informative dev articles can often be dry, but let's change it up a notch today and feature some fun yet thoughtful pieces. Trying to summarize these takes away the spirit, so I'll mostly be quoting the original material to give an idea of what it's about. |

Cut out the 60 hours of compliance busywork.
You need a simple UX, clear pricing, and 1:1 Slack support. You need Delve. Join Lovable and 100s of other companies using Delve for all things compliance (SOC 2, ISO, pentesting, and more). And yes, this is the same Delve that went viral for sending out custom doormats. Book a demo today with code SP52 for a CUSTOM DOORMAT + $1,000 OFF when you get compliant. |

☘ The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer "Real Programmers write in FORTRAN. Maybe they do now, in this decadent era of Lite beer, hand calculators, and "user-friendly" software
but back in the Good Old Days,
when the term "software" sounded funny
and Real Computers were made out of drums and vacuum tubes,
Real Programmers wrote in machine code.
Not FORTRAN. Not RATFOR. Not, even, assembly language.
Machine Code.
Raw, unadorned, inscrutable hexadecimal numbers.
Directly."

🦴 The Grug Brained Developer "this collection of thoughts on software development gathered by grug brain developer grug brain developer not so smart, but grug brain developer program many long year and learn some things although mostly still confused grug brain developer try collect learns into small, easily digestible and funny page, not only for you, the young grug, but also for him because as grug brain developer get older he forget important things, like what had for breakfast or if put pants on"

😈 How To Write Unmaintainable Code Ensure a job for life ;-)
Jokes aside, this is a good resource on how to NOT do things. |

😞 I'm a good engineer but I suck at building stuff? "We argue endlessly about frameworks and languages and libraries and somehow never really talk about what we’re creating. What’s worse, when teaching people to program, we teach them only how things work; we never teach them how to build."

🔍 Worthwhile Problems to Solve Although this isn't directly about programming, the letter's spirit applies to everyone. It's about Richard Feynman writing a letter to address his student's distress about the nature of his work - the student felt his research was too 'humble' compared to what he thought his teacher valued. |

🔨 Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule "When you're operating on the maker's schedule, meetings are a disaster. A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon, by breaking it into two pieces each too small to do anything hard in. Plus you have to remember to go to the meeting. That's no problem for someone on the manager's schedule. There's always something coming on the next hour; the only question is what. But when someone on the maker's schedule has a meeting, they have to think about it."

💬 Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names "I have never seen a computer system which handles names properly and doubt one exists, anywhere. So, as a public service, I’m going to list assumptions your systems probably make about names. All of these assumptions are wrong. Try to make less of them next time you write a system which touches names."
