Here are this months links…

###Classic Programmer Paintings

Painters and Hackers: nothing in common whatsoever, but this are classical painters depictions of software engineering (technically, might not be all classical but hey, this is just a tumblr)

###Bootstrap 4 Cheat Sheet This has been extremely helpful. I like how easy it is to find items and copy and paste the HTML needed.

###Awesome PHP - Searchable Version

A curated list of amazingly awesome PHP libraries, resources and shiny things

This list is based on https://github.com/ziadoz/awesome-php and it looks a little nicer with some GitHub info thrown in.

###Why We Switched From Single Branch Flow To Pull Requests

When we onboard a new developer we start them with a pull request based workflow. I can’t say it’s a great way to do bug tickets but it does work really well for feature requests.

###The web is Doom

In July 2015 I suggested that the average web page weight would equal that of the Doom install image in about 7 months time.

I looked at a page a client’s marketing firm had created (it was having performance problems) and it was 10 MB (~5 Dooms).

###Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television…But Can Apparently Say In Code

So, without further adieu here are Carlin’s “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” but you can apparently use in code with impunity.

It’s scary how much is shown in GitHub’s history.

###Algorithms

I’ve worked on an application built off Excel and I think it must be worse than Google’s Search. :-)

###Expectation vs Reality: my first 1.5 years of professional programming

A good read on programmer stereotypes and expectations.

###Developer Survey: Java Developers Are The Saddest And C++ Programmers Are The Oldest I think the title says it all. :-)

###Cube Drone - Scrum

###Do Experienced Programmers Use Google Frequently?

The resounding answer is YES, experienced (and good) programmers use Google… a lot. In fact, one might argue they use it more than the beginners.

In fact, truth is quite the opposite: Google is an essential part of their software development toolkit and they know when and how to use it.

###Podcasts from Full Stack Radio

I really enjoyed the following podcasts from Full Stack Radio:
