• I greatly enjoyed this writeup on the evolution of GitHub’s internal deployment system. As a person who strongly admired the original system (I still believe it was the BEST I’ve ever seen), and as someone who worked on improving it, I always wondered how it would progress as the company grew even larger. Inserting a state machine in the process makes perfect sense, of course
• This interview by Sonic State w/ Alessandro Cortini on the new Make Noise Strega is a great watch
• Also checkout the official Make Noise announcement
• I completed 30 days of the Sleep Pack on Headspace today. I’m now moving on to the ‘Pro’ pack, working on getting used to sitting without guidance for ~20 minutes each day. I highly recommend the app if you have the opportunity to check it out – it’s a fantastic way to ease into the practice. My only minor quibble is the lack of more ‘advanced’ meditation teachings, but you can pick up the books, find a teacher, etc, for those. This is a good way to build the foundations and get going
