API pagination design
Returning all results for a given query could be a challenge for an API, especially if there are thousands of results. It puts a load on a server, on a [...]
Setting Up Cypress, Rails, and CircleCI
Recently I set up a Rails app with Cypress end-to-end specs on CircleCI. Capybara's the Rails default for this, but Cypress is better. It's faster, more stable, and its in-browser spec runner is a much better experience than writing specs in Capybara.
Some new alternative to (unstable) Capybara/Selenium combo by using modern stuff from the Nodejs world.

How to measure technical debt - andre.schweighofer
In my years as a software engineer I was always drawn to the shiny new things. But time and time again I got confronted with code ridden with technical debt. If you are working in tech you probably heard of technical debt. For product managers it is the sword of Damocles alluding delayed projects and rejected feature requests. For engineers it can be a tremendous source of frustration and reason to quit jobs and move on. Why is technical debt so widespread and why is it so hard to beat?
