Hello my friends.

Here's what I picked this week. Enjoy :-)

💎 Tech & Dev World

1. "Open Source" is Broken​

TL;DR: Interesting opinion on open source, what's wrong with it and how to fix it.

Someone should teach open source developers how to sell. This will not only improve their financial situation, but it will also improve the quality and speed of development of open source projects. Which would have a positive impact on the whole market.

Favorite lines:

• GitHub stars famously cannot be used to pay rent.
• There is this culture of taking from open source without giving anything back.

2. Holiday Book Recommendations for Engineering Managers, Software Engineers and Product Managers​

TL;DR: 95 book recommendations for developers and managers.

Great list, will definitely check out The DevOps Handbook and Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps.

3. Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job​

TL;DR: How to find a high-paying developer job and how the U.S. and European market works these days.

ps: market on your side.

🔥 Web Development

1. React Conf 2021 Recap​

TL;DR: A summary of React 18 conf.

Looks like auto-memoizing compiler is the only interesting addition. Anything great about React 18 that I've missed?

2. Coding Interview with Dan Abramov​

TL;DR: Dan Abramov's coding interview with Ben Awad.

Dan tried to center a div for four minutes.
