What Makes A Good Pull Request?
 
 
Writing is a vital skill and a continuous activity for professionals working with software engineering. Whether you are creating a JIRA ticket, crafting a wiki page or composing an email, clear communication through writing is crucial for effective collaboration.

Creating Pull Requests (also referred to as: PR) is not an exception. A well structured and written pull request can be a deal breaker for launching a new feature in your team. And there is more to it than simply shipping code when contributing to the solution.

This article explores the basics of working with pull requests and the importance of writing well.

NSA urges orgs to use memory-safe programming languages
 
 
The NSA has released guidance encouraging organizations to shift programming languages from the likes of C and C++ to memory-safe alternatives – namely C#, Rust, Go, Java, Ruby or Swift.

The org's main concern is that miscreants may exploit vulnerabilities in code that poorly manages memory, which occurs more frequently in the languages that give more options and flexibility to the programmer.

The NSA gives the examples of a threat actor finding their way into a system through a buffer overflow or by leveraging software memory allocation shortcomings.
