A curated list of links to articles, videos, and everything else that I really like.

Software disenchantment by Nikita: The absolute state of modern day software development’s problems: huge lack of performance, bloat, bad UX and more. The article is available in other languages too.
Oil it or Spoil it! by Lars Doucet: Thoughts on how to design/polish mechanics so they don’t frustrate players.
Does Microsoft OneDrive export large ZIP files that are corrupt? by Johan van der Knijff: Step by step deep dive into how to fix OneDrive’s “corrupt” ZIP archives, very entertaining and interesting.
Don’t Ever User Zsh by Rob Muhlestein: A slightly rant-y but also very pretty informative article on zsh’s downfalls
Unusual disk latency by Brendan Gregg: How screaming can affect server performance. The actual content is the linked YouTube video inside, but I still wanted to link Brendan’s website.

Wat by Gary Bernhardt: A classic 15 minute talk that shows a lot of the weird behaviours in JavaScript with a very funny comedic note.
Preventing the Collapse of Civilization by Jonathan Blow: Another classic talk, where Jonathan Blow talks about how information about technology degrades and gets lost over time.
