SLOs Are the API for Your Engineering Team
SLOs provide a simple common language for evaluating risk in terms of error budgets. SLOs save everyone involved both time and energy, which you can redirect toward more important things, like keeping your customers happy.

A First Look at Java Inline Classes
Java currently supports only two types of value: primitives and object references. Project Valhalla extends this by introducing inline classes which are a new form of type that exhibit some behaviors of both. These new types open the door to better alignment with modern CPUs and considerable potential performance improvements for Java applications.

Velocity and Better Metrics: Q&A with Doc Norton
Velocity is not good for predictions or diagnostics, argued Doc Norton at Experience Agile 2019. It's a lagging indicator of a complex system which is too volatile to know what our future performance will be; it isn’t stable enough to be used reliably. We can use Monte Carlo simulation for forecasting, and cumulative flow diagrams to track work, see changes in scope, and spot bottlenecks.

Liberating Structures - an Antidote to Zombie Scrum
Although many organizations use Scrum, the majority struggle to grasp both the purpose of Scrum as well as its benefits. They do Zombie Scrum; it looks like Scrum from a distance, but you see that things are amiss when moving closer. This article describes what Zombie Scrum is about and gives you tangible examples of how to recognize, treat and prevent Zombie Scrum by using Liberating Structures.

Single Page Applications and ASP.NET Core 3.0
Web development has changed in the past few years, with the maturity of Angular, React, Vue, and others. We’ve moved from building web pages to building apps. We’ve also been shifting from rendering markup on the server, to more commonly rendering it directly in the browser. But as developers continue to transition to client-side development, many are asking if they should still be using ASP.NET.

Q&A with Cyrille Martraire on the Book Living Documentation
Cyrille Martraire argues that we should rethink how we work with documentation when building software systems — we should embrace documentation that evolves at the same pace as the code. In the book, he describes the concepts and ideas that are the base for living documentation and uses practical examples on how documentation that is always up-to-date can be created.
