What does it mean to initialize an int?
13 minutes by Herb Sutter

Saying the variable gets its initial value on line 2 is completely reasonable. But note that I deliberately didn’t say “the object is initialized on line 2,” and both the code and this answer gloss over the more important problem of: “Yeah, but what about code between lines 1 and 2 that could try to read the object’s value?”

Microfrontends should be your last resort
10 minutes by Jimmy Breck-McKye

In large tech companies these days, it is becoming common for front-end developers to talk about “micro frontends”. MFEs are analogous to microservices in backend systems. But just like we’ve all seen bad microservice architectures that simply worsened a distributed monolith, a bad micro-frontend architecture just spreads tightly-coupled code across many moving parts.

Collision detection algorithms
12 minutes by Lean Rada

Sweep-and-prune is my go-to algorithm when I want to quickly implement collision detection for a game. I think it’s an awesome and elegant algorithm, so I wrote a post about it.

You should make a new programming language
7 minutes by Nicole Tietz

Every software engineer uses a programming language, usually multiple. Few of us make programming languages. This makes sense, because the work we need to get done can typically be done just fine in the languages that exist. Those already have people making them better. Let's focus on the task at hand.
