Can you believe this is already our final news episode of the year?
Thanks for reading and listening along.
In 2024, this episode diverges from our traditional fare.
I've reviewed the 50 previous episodes and picked, in my humble opinion, the coolest code, the best prose, and my favorite episode of the Changelog from each month.
Let's do it.
January all the AI hype is losing its luster.
The chaos continues on NPM and ZED goes open source.
Coolest code is Olama as the volcano of new data models continues to erupt, what's a dev to choose?
How about a tool that helps you switch between them easily and even customize or create?
Create your own.
Of all the tools I covered this year, Olama is one of the few that I actually adopted and still use today.
Best Pros Goes to A Plea for Lean Software these amazingly prescient pros weren't written this year, but they bubbled back up in January because their author, Nicholas Worth, passed away on New Year's Day.
Worth also happens to be the creator of Pascal and the dubber of Worth's Law, which we pound to find in January as well.
And my favorite episode in January goes to Dear New Developer in which Dan Moore joins us.
The author of Letters to a New Developer, a blog series of letters of what Dan wished he had known when starting his developer career.
Dan shared his best advice for new devs, including the importance of saying no, leaving code better than you found it, and the value of skill stacking.
