Apparently Frank Herbert's Dune can teach us lessons on product management:

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now, it's complete because it's ended here."

(I haven't read the book yet, but would love to one day!)

I enjoyed Mohamed's post on using PHP and Go to have the best of both worlds.

By employing a polyglot architecture, we get the best of both worlds. PHP provides the development speed required to compete in a hyper-growth market, while Go provides more efficient resource utilization.

Another good quote from the introduction of his PHP to Go course:

PHP may be slow and memory hungry when compared to a compiled language, but that's not a result of a bad design.

It's like this by design because of all the choices it makes on your behalf to conceal complexity.

I also recommend his post on Twitter about the business decisions behind cutting costs on infrastructure.

A few years ago we built a tiny web tool to view a site's DNS records. I still use it on a regular basis when I need to do a quick lookup.

Some cool tidbits:

• Visit dnsrecords.io/{domain} to jump straight to the results (great for a Raycast/Alfred workflow!)
• Type ip or visit dnsrecords.io/ip to display your current IP address
• When you share a link to dnsrecords.io/{domain}, it will display the records in the meta & open graph descriptions

I've attended this talk twice this year and it hit just as hard the second time. Happy to see it available online. Start watching already!

A short & sweet overview of get(), cursor(), chunk(), and lazy() to retrieve models from the database. It's a tradeoff between speed and memory usage.
