[Software Engineering Oldletter #1] Boring tech, Golden Sprawl and measuring the cost of no CD

I received several suggestions following my email last Friday about sending out a short list once a week of evergreen articles/resources related to software/cloud engineering that wouldn’t typically get shared in “latest news” style newsletters or social media feeds. So this is the first edition of the Software Engineering Oldletter 🙂.



Submitting your recommendations

If you’d like to share an evergreen article/book which has significantly influenced your thinking or practice around software delivery, please email it through to me and I’ll add it to my backlog for sharing in future editions.

Have a great weekend!

I publish short emails like this on building software with serverless on a daily-ish basis. They’re casual, easy to digest, and sometimes thought-provoking. If daily is too much, you can also join my less frequent newsletter to get updates on new longer-form articles.
