How Software Affects Climate Change, and What Software Engineers Can Do about It
There are huge amounts of software running everywhere on the planet - and this software consumes energy when it is running. Unfortunately most of the energy world-wide is still being produced by burning fossil fuels. Software engineers can improve the software so that it uses less energy to do its job, then less energy needs to be produced by burning fossil fuels, which is better for the climate.

Developer Experience at Lyft: from the Cloud to Local Environments
Lyft engineering finished their decomposition of a monolith into a collection of microservices back in 2018. Modular development environments using Docker containers eventually moved to the cloud. Recent articles describe how their development tooling struggled to keep up as time passed and the number of microservices exploded. Development environments had to return to the engineer’s machine.

Measuring the Environmental Impact of Software and Cloud Services
Software has an influence on the limitation of the service life or the increased energy consumption. It’s possible to measure the environmental impacts that are caused by cloud services. The design of the software architecture determines how much hardware and electrical power is required. Software can be economical or wasteful with hardware resources.

Increasing Collaboration at Ericsson: Hardware and Software Developers Learn Each Other's Language
You can integrate hardware and software development with a cross-border team setup, where it’s important that hardware and software developers speak each other’s languages. The suggestion is to focus on “us” instead of “we” and “them”, and on the technical competence that connects developers over agile or lean terminology.

Is SOLID Still Relevant in Modern Software Architecture?
Daniel Orner published a recent article arguing that SOLID principles are still the foundation for modern software architecture. According to Orner, while the practice of software development has changed in the past 20 years, SOLID principles are still the basis of good design. The author explains how they also apply to functional programming and microservices architecture, with examples.
