PSA: This new "Writing for Developers" blog has nothing to do with our book or @manning.com. It promises to help you "earn six figures from your words - all with proven AI prompts that automate 90% of the work." Eww.

Strongly endorse this advice from Thorsten to folks getting started writing. writethatblog.substack.com/p/thorsten-b...

A new Writing for Developers podcast for your listening pleasure: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/221/ This one covers how blogging makes you a better engineer, using LLMs to review your writing, and why team writing culture matters.

A must-watch talk from @scott.hanselman.com. Scott and I are of the same vintage, and I am embarrassed (mortified!) by how revolting some of our generational peers have become. Technology still has a unique power to improve our lives, but wow, do we ever have work to do. youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg?...

Nice read from Pedro Tavares, a @eatonphil.bsky.social book club alumni ordep.dev/posts/writin...

Listening to 'Writing for Developers: Blogs That Get Read' and realizing they're not just talking about building your tech brand. They're talking about writing ideas so compelling they transcend our little technology cliques entirely and hit the top of Hacker News. github.com/scynthiadunl...

Much of what makes ScyllaDB so powerful is the architecture and performance optimizations. It's built on seastar.io Being shared-nothing and per-core sharded enables it to *scale out* to many servers and *scale up* to many cores on each server. Most datastores are only great at scaling up or out.

@scott.hanselman.com chats with @poppastring.com about technical blogging. Really, what else do we need to say? Just read/listen. writethatblog.substack.com/p/scott-hans...

This is a really nice conversation on the reality of technical blogging – from the perspective of an engineer (@sarna.dev) and co-founder (@glaubercosta.bsky.social) who were both forced into writing, but grew to love it.

Piotr’s latest picks for http://writethat.blog… - We rewrote large parts of our API in Go using AI - @avi.im, @tur.so - Reservoir sampling - @samwho.dev - End the obsession with servers - @technosophos.bsky.social, @fermyon.com

Got the cover design for the second edition of DDIA from the publisher. Now just need to finish the effin’ manuscript…

A peek into @glaubercosta.bsky.social's path from reluctant writer to writing-obsessed co-founder -- and his writing tips for others writethatblog.substack.com/p/glauber-co...

This was a really nice conversation on tech blogging, covering topics like: - Writing in English even if it’s not your native language - Using AI to review your writing - Recognizing/using blog post patterns like “the bug hunt” and “rewrote it in X” youtu.be/6DVg7HeA2oU

Our talk from #MonsterScaleSummit is up! Come listen to @adamhjk.me and me talk about the challenges and joys of scaling software across multiple dimensions. Scaling is the funnest game; should we all be lucky enough to get to play it. www.scylladb.com/tech-talk/sc...

I recently finished reading "Writing For Developers" by @cynthiadunlop.bsky.social and @sarna.dev. Honestly, it was a fantastic read. Even if I started getting more and more experience in writing, I learned so much from that book! Highly recommended! www.manning.com/books/writin...
