Ultimately, delivering real-time capabilities using WebSockets requires additional architectural and engineering complexity, especially when done at scale. | Continue reading
This Rust driver started as a humble hackathon project, but that gave us an idea: Why not unify all our drivers to use Rust underneath? | Continue reading
With attacks skyrocketing, Google and collaborators have developed a framework for ensuring the integrity of software artifacts. Here's how it works. #SLSA #DevSecOps #security | Continue reading
In an era of remote work and video interviews, it's easy for candidates to misrepresent themselves to hiring managers. Until they get caught. #techrecruiting #techjobs #techcareers #remotework | Continue reading
