Insightful post from Hillel Wayne exploring how to apply the Hierarchy of Hazard Controls they learned about from a mechanical engineer to a contrived example in programming.

Short and to the point post about designing things with a little trust in your users to intuit a relatively easy model rather than papering over the slightest complexity with things that erase the mental model of the underlying concepts.

Super interesting look into the #Steam discovery queue system and the impact it has on your game's visibility on the platform

An ongoing mini-series documenting specific, often niche parts of the JVM. They're all pretty short and to the point, and the author encourages to treat them as chapters in a book as they reference each other quite often.

Great write up on password hashing techniques and their pros and cons

Great vulnerability research but the highlight is definitely the hand-crafted interactive mock ups of Google websites

Being able to make slides with Compose sounds fun!
