Interesting Things on the Internet: September 11th 2017
- Essential Developer Skills with Tom Stuart. An excellent exploration of what a software developer is, and how you go from a beginner to an experienced dev. Lots of nuggets about the challenges of helping people on that journey.
- Why Kickstarter Decided To Radically Transform Its Business Model. Nice article on Kickstarter's choice to switch to a public benefit company (a for-profit that isn't solely focused on shareholder returns)
- Gardening, Dark Matter, Grey Havens and the Background Radiation of Maker/Hack spaces. Ross reflecting on DoES Liverpool and maker culture. He's really good at getting, and articulating, the why of things. There are too many bits of this I wanted to quote. Someone should pay him to do more of that.
- Identity Theft, Credit Reports, and You. In the aftermath of Equifax showing shockingly bad security practices and allowing a massive amount of US citizens' data to be stolen, some sensible actions for individuals caught in it to take.
