If there was one piece of advice I could give to someone considering a career in software development it would be: Learn to f$%@cking type! Knowing how to touch type is the single most valuable skill that a developer can possess. Typing allows you to concentrate on what you're coding rather than how to get the characters on the screen. In other words, you're able to think about the code rather than thinking about where to find the letters on the keyboard. Jeff Atwood and Steve Yegge both make the same point.

As was pointed out to us stable kernel maintainers last week, the overflow of the .y release number was going to happen soon, and our proposed solution for it (use 16 bits instead of 8), turns out to be breaking a userspace-visable api. As we can't really break this, I did a release of the 4.4.256 and 4.9.256 releases today that contain nothing but a new version number. See the links for the full technical details if curious.

All new programming tutorials start with "Hello, World!" This is not actually a programming tutorial, but the hope is to share a piece of information which could be useful for someone. I wanted to start with "Hello, World!" anyway. This is a project I delayed a very long time, and now it is time. I will try to cover a diverse set of topics including Programming Languages, Touch Typing, Editors, Note Taking and a lot more.
