These days, most of my work is very related to the online world. Building web sites, reviewing web applications, integrating with web services, coordinating people who are far away from each other, etc. Whenever I find a new tool or service or an innovative, interesting idea about working online, I share it in this category.
“Semantic Versioning – why you should care” is a nice take on Semantic Versioning and how and why people should is. I particularly liked the practical examples of changes and which version bump they correspond to.
I frequently find myself explaining the Semantic Versioning to developers, and going over some example changes. Now I can just send the link to that article instead and safe myself some time.
Very nicely done!
I came across this collection of “Tips to Speed up Your PHPunit Tests“. Apart from the few usual ones, like disabling XDebug and using groups, I found a couple that linked to handy tools:
Very cool! Needs trying …
“The HTML we never had” is an interesting look at some features of HTML, that weren’t implemented, but could have been easily done, and if they were, how different the modern web development would be.

Nginx Quick Reference is an excellent summary of notes on tweaking the performance and security of the Nginx web server configuration.
Here are some exciting news from GitHub – an introduction of the Draft Pull Requests. I think this is a very welcome addition to GitHub features.
At work, we’ve been using a work around to solve the problem – a [WIP] prefix in the title of the pull request, which means that this is “Work In Progress” and the PR shouldn’t be merged.
While the prefix does help, it’s not as good as the new Draft Pull Requests. Somebody can still merge a [WIP] pull request by mistake. But with Draft Pull Requests, merging is blocked, until the developer indicates otherwise.
Great stuff!
