Every week I come across some great articles. Here are some of the posts I feel you will enjoy reading as much as I did.

Webmention is a way of letting a website know it has been mentioned somewhere, by someone, in some way. Atila Fassina has a tutorial on adding the feature your wesbite. It's based on NextJs, but I think it can easily be adapted to a site built with Gatsby. Now, I just need to get the time to add it to this one.

If you are wondering what database architecture you should use for your next application, Margo McCabe has an article that helps you determine just that.

Nick Maggiulli explains why gold is so valuable even though it is intrinsically worthless. He also talks about who should (or not) invest in gold.

Giving interviews is hard. Julia Evans talks about the importance of telling candidates what to expect from the job interview.

Being Indie meant being bootstrapped. Courtland Allen explains how it has become increasingly common to have investors and remain Indie. Although, I think that Indie as a term is overused. Even in the games industry, you can call yourself Indie as long as you don't have a multi-million dollar budget. To stay close to what I feel the term signified initially, we should probably use self-funded instead.

Jaana Dogan shares a few insights for application developers who don't work a lot with databases.

Hope you enjoy reading these articles as much as I did.
