Have you ever been on a website and noticed a popup notification that suggests that there is a new version of the site available? I recently visited Google’s Inbox and noticed a notification a little like the image below. I’ve built a number of Progressive Web Apps that simply update the service worker silently for the user in the background, but I really like this approach - especially for an offline first web app.

Remy just posted about his Kindle breaking , and how he felt oddly affected by this: Somehow, I felt weird about throwing away a bit of consumer technology. Except, the Kindle to me, wasn’t that at all. I hold a great fondness to this little device, and that’s an odd concept for me to grasp. I can relate. I have had many conversations over the years where I’ve told people that out of all the devices and gadgets I own, my Kindle—one of the least powerful and cheapest devices—is

Part of building a strong performance culture in an organisation is lowering the barrier to getting people excited about performance. One of the most effective ways I've found to do this is to send around a performance report every week that can, at a glance, answer an important question: did performance get better or worse?

I recently wrote about getting started with GraphQL in a Golang application , where I discussed the creation of schemas, executing queries, and mutating data, even though it was all mock data. In this example there were queries for related data, but they were constructed in a very independent form. We’re going to see how to query for related data, similar to what you’d find in a JOIN operation on a relational database, but using GraphQL and the Go programming language.
