In this article from our small series for junior developers, we will focus on how to save time while debugging and what are the best practices of senior developers when fixing the errors. The Stripe’s study from 2018 says that developers spend over 41% of their time on maintaining and debugging the code. Imagine, out of 20 working days in a month, a week and a half of time does not add value to the business.

Using HSL Colors In CSS. Using HSL Colors In CSS. Ahmad Shadeed. 2021-07-05T10:30:00+00:00. 2021-07-13T02:07:04+00:00. From my experience, most of the colors I see people using in CSS are hex and RGB. Recently, I’ve started seeing more usage of HSL colors, however, I still think that the full potential of HSL is overlooked. With the help of this article, I’d like to show you how HSL can truly help us work better with colors in CSS.

It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., AWS Graviton2); for memory with the arrival of DDR5 and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) on-processor; for storage including new uses for 3D Xpoint as a 3D NAND accelerator; for networking with the rise of QUIC and eXpress Data Path (XDP); and so on.

The cost of detecting and fixing defects in software increases exponentially with time in the software development workflow. Fixing bugs in the field is incredibly costly and risky — often by an order of magnitude or two. The cost is not just in the form of time and resources wasted in the present, but also in form of lost opportunities in the future.

“If you have bad tests, automation can help you do bad testing faster.”— James Marcus Bach. How do we ensure that the test automation is working as a saviour and not adding to the testing woes? One wrong step in this direction and be assured to lose precious time and energy. Additionally, wrong automation will make the quality of the software suffer badly.

After Google's announcement about Lighthouse 8 this past month, we have updated our test agents. We've gotten a lot of questions about what has changed and the impact on your performance metrics, so here's a summary. What is Lighthouse? In case you missed it, Lighthouse is a speed tool created by the Chrome Developer team at Google. Lighthouse is a score based system that evaluates lab data (synthetic) through a series of audits in order to identify how your application will perform in the wild.

Why do we measure dev team metrics? It's even more important to understand this question because most engineers don't like to be measured. So why measure at all?

Having a coded approach to test automation has its benefits. It certainly does give you the power to be extra flexible in terms of test case creation. But with it, it also requires a lot of investments from you – in terms of time and resources. Hence, you need to decide if that is really the power you need because, in the end, you need automation that gives you returns on your investment(ROI).

Guest Author : Michael J Swart ( @MJSwart ). I spend a large amount of time translating software requirements into schema and queries. These requirements are sometimes easy to implement but are often difficult. I want to talk about UI design choices that lead to data access patterns that are awkward to implement using SQL Server. Sort By Column. Sort-By-Column is such a familiar pattern that we can take it for granted.

Git Worktrees appear to solve a set of challenges I encounter when working on this blog: Maintenance branches for 11ty and other dependencies come and go with some frequency. Writing new posts on parallel branches isn't fluid when switching frequently. If I incidentally mix some build upgrades into a content PR, it can be difficult to extract and re-apply if developed in a single checkout.

If you’ve been performing on-premise testing in your organization, you know the rules already. But for the uninitiated, on-premise testing is a form of testing where testers perform tests on local machines, systems, or devices set up at an office. As the name suggests, it happens on-premise. On-premise testing comes with a lot of responsibility.
