For the 4th time we are running our #YH4F #programming #competition and are very excited to see all the new projects coming together To keep you and us busy over the next three months until the end of the current programming period, we spoke to Aya, a former participant, about her project. Take a look at our interview with her https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250313-01.html

Dear Fediverse, I am about to step up into my first role as a tech lead (*context in follow-up post) and would like to ask some questions to help me prepare & improve:

Groups:

• Technical: Devs, DevOps, Infra
• Product: Marketing, UX/Design, etc
• Business: HR, management C-roles.

Questions:

1. What are your initial thoughts when you hear you'll be getting a new tech lead?
2. What are your hopes & expectations for them?
3. What are your concerns when a new "tech lead" is hired?
4. What changes do you hope for, or expect?

Please add your colour to your reply & poll.

Lastly, if you have other advice for someone who wishes to be the best possible tech lead of their teams.

I used to think writing code equated to “telling a computer what to do” but now I think it’s more accurately described as “asking a computer to do something”…

»Rust Mutex: From Basics to Advanced Techniques«

I learn and learn and do not rust but learn to program Rust.

Lapidary-render 0.12.0 is now released.

To the best of my knowledge it's the only #codeGenerator that properly handles #jsonSchema anyOf and allOf.
Also has support for oneOf, but not per the specs.

At work we moved from #Bitbucket to #GitHub recently. As there is no "Bulk"-Import feature in GitHub (or at least i didn't found it) as we have about 150 repos i wrote a small script which "moves" the repos to GitHub.

Everyone who is facing the same problem can find the script here: https://github.com/MadChrise/bitbucket-repso-to-github

It is very imple - just moving repos. No big error catching or something else. But i described it as good as i could in the readme.

Looks like Swift is going to be expanding its presence to the Social Web

Since one of the last Windows (11) Update our program icons are not shown reliable in the taskbar.
Our "workaround" is to load the icon from disk/resources in FormActivate.

As we have many small programs this is meh.

Does anyone have the same problem (and maybe a solution?)

Rust memory management explained

Rust’s ownership and borrowing mechanisms guarantee memory safety at run time. Here’s how to use them in your programs.

Nice bug in #Forgejo / #Gitea. If I create one more PR, there will be no PRs left..

New blog post!

This time it's my first post about slightly advanced programming in Python. I talk about using the dependency injection design pattern to separate business logic from I/O calls to have cleaner code and simpler tests.

Well, actually the topic is more generic and can be applied to any programming language, but here I use Python as an example.

Anyway, here it is!
