Interesting links of the week 2023-31 (#83)
Here are some interesting articles, blog posts, videos, podcasts, and GitHub repositories I’ve run into over the last week (July 24, 2023 - July 31, 2023)
As long as I see layoffs continue, I will include the link to my job search resources repository on GitHub. It’s a list of great resources I’ve gathered over the last few years, and I accept PRs if you have anything to add.
