We're thrilled to announce Humans Behind Code!

Humans Behind Code (HBC) is a project by FAUN, where developers meet other developers and learn about the people behind the tools, libraries, frameworks, and other projects they use to build their applications.

We interview developers and ask them about their projects, their motivations, their struggles, and their successes. It's about sharing knowledge and helping each other grow.

👉 If you're a Developer or a maintainer of a widely adopted Open Source project and you think it's worth talking about it and your experiences in building it, join Humans Behind Code!

Best,
Aymen from FAUN.

What the largest tech companies like Google and Facebook have discovered as they have grown their infrastructure is that traditional access control systems do not scale. Not only does the risk of a breach increase with each secret, but forcing developers to juggle hundreds of credentials to do their jobs limits productivity and encourages insecure workarounds.

The largest companies in the world have discovered that identity-based access is the way out of the dilemma.

This O'Reilly book will explain the concept of identity-based infrastructure access, and how it differs from more common older approaches based on secrets.

Creating value for the customer is essential in any business. You want to be sure that you are maximizing the value you create for them through your development process. The DevOps methodologies aim to build a fast and reliable software delivery process. When adopting this paradigm, you must reassess your existing process and look for inefficiencies.

One way to do this is by using Value Stream Mapping (VSM). This involves gathering people from all parts of the product development process, including the business line, design, testing, QA, operations, and support. Doing so can give you a clear picture of where value is being created and lost.

Value Stream Mapping is centered around a color-codded map that describes your process and measures its efficiency as the ratio of value-added steps over all the steps of the process.

Low-code tools don’t always equal long-term solutions. Here's how businesses can make low-code tools work for the long haul.

For those looking for a short answer: yes, it does.

The article details why in a more elaborated way.

“Stacked PRs” is the practice of breaking up a large change into smaller, individually reviewable PRs which can depend on each other, forming a DAG. Stacked commits use a single commit as the unit of atomic change.

Github encourages the Stacked PR approach, whereas tools like Gerrit encourage stacked commits.

An Observability Team should be a compliment to, not a replacement for, a strong Observability culture with an engineering team. It's an easily misunderstood team within a company.

Not every company is going to need an Observability team, but at a certain scale, it becomes a reasonable investment or full-time focus.

The goal should be that the benefits of Observability tools get out of the box and get useful to your organization.

The Observability is being able to derive insights about your software systems without having to go back after the fact and change the system.

Michael C. Jackson, a systems scientist, contrasts action research with old-style hard science, which tries to study a system from the outside. In the social world, there is no outside: we participate in the systems we study.

Jackson continues: To ensure scientific rigor, this demands a close analysis of the initial situation, clearly documented action to bring about desired change and continuous monitoring of effects, and careful analysis of the end results of the action.

This is also noticeable in code: when it comes to an existing codebase, we get a handle on it by changing stuff.
