Itβs the summer holidays, after all. So I wanted to spent some time with my 7 years old daughter to teach her programming. β¨οΈ I spent some time before discussing with her some of the basics concept verbally: the different parts of a computer, and bas...

Introduction to SE Spectrum

One of the greatest tool available on GitHub is Dependabot. For those not familiar with it, in short it's a bot reviewing your list of dependencies and proposing PRs to update them. https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/getting-started/dependabot-...

For this episode of the Software Engineers Podcast, I invited Mathias Buus. Mathias is a software engineer based in Denmark and currently the lead of the Hypercore Protocol. He defines himself as an NodeJS and P2P enthusiast.
He was an early adopter of NodeJS and since then he published and maintain himself almost 1,000 packages on npm. After discussing his background, I questioned Mathias on his different contributions like Dazaar, Beaker Browser, and the Hypercore Protocol.

Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs. Hypercores are signed, append-only logs. They're like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. As with BitTorrent, as more people "seed" a dataset, it will increase the available bandwidth. More details on https://hypercore-protocol.org/.
