## [How to write good Git commit messages](https://altcampus.io/blog/how-to-write-good-git-commit-message)
|
||
|
|
||
|
About a month ago, I shared a link describing how to make proper commit
|
||
|
messages, and this post talks a bit further about -- and it also cites some of
|
||
|
stuff I usually miss when I need to do some code review.

## [Ansible: Tasks vs Roles vs Handlers](https://roelofjanelsinga.com/articles/ansible-difference-between-tasks-and-roles)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Another "I shared something like that before" link, this one focuses on
|
||
|
Ansible itself instead of some other configuration tool. Although not deep, it
|
||
|
explain most of Ansible "surface" content.

## [The Poetics of CLI Command Names](https://smallstep.com/blog/the-poetics-of-cli-command-names/)
|
||
|
|
||
|
So you decided to create your own command line application to learn a new
|
||
|
language. Congratulations. But the success of your tool depends (partially) on
|
||
|
the name of it and how you consider the "mystic" behind it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I don't fully agree with some points, though. For example, claiming `cfdisk`
|
||
|
was a bad choice for a curses `fdisk`; `fdisk` is well known, and using the
|
||
|
same name as a part of the new name shows that shows that it is a different
|
||
|
version and also gives information to whoever knows `fdisk` what this
|
||
|
application does. Same case: `top` and `htop`.

## [What Are Feature Flags?](https://launchdarkly.com/blog/what-are-feature-flags/)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Before I changed projects, we had a discussion about the way the projects were
|
||
|
using feature flags.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Although not discussed here, I do believe that feature flags should, at some
|
||
|
point, be removed, either by the team when a feature goes into full
|
||
|
availability or moved to a user configuration. But it *needs* to get out of
|
||
|
hands of the developers at some point and not live forever as a flag.

## [How to minimize Rust binary size](https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not that Rust binaries are big -- at least, in release -- but there is always
|
||
|
someone complaining, specially when compared to binaries created in other
|
||
|
languages whose binaries are not static.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But it is always good to have a set of tips on how to reduce them, just in
|
||
|
case.

## [Announcing our Rust Driver: Version 1.0](https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/announcing-rust-driver-version-1)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Still on Rust news, MongoDB, the company, released their official driver for
|
||
|
MonogDB, the database, in Rust.
|
||
|
|
||
|
One thing that I must say, reading the announcement, is how nice it plays with
|
||
|
the existing ecosystem, supporting the top async frameworks and the
|
||
|
serialization framework. A truly "play nice with everything" by the
|
||
|
description.

## [unfog-cli: A simple task & time manager, written in Haskell.](https://github.com/unfog-io/unfog-cli)
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have a personal project for a long time to create a command line version of
|
||
|
[Toggl](https://toggl.com/), but it seems someone had the same idea and did
|
||
|
the project already.
