Friday Links: Coding, calling, and networking
11 Jul 2025 #mondaylinksHey there.
Do you remember the first time you saw a computer? I do. And I originally wrote that story on my blog (2min). But this week, it went kind of “viral” when I reposted it on dev.to.
Anyway, here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. AI can make us code faster. But writing code has never been the bottleneck (3min). It’s everything around writing that code in the first place.
#2. Curious about the backstory of some coding jargon? Here’s why we “call” functions (10min). Funny enough, we also say “invoke” a function and in Spanish, everyone associates “invoking” with ghosts.
#3. Instead of forcing devs to use AI, here are some ideas for managers to adopt AI (7min) in their teams.
#4. Also an introvert? Here’s a quick guide to networking (5min) for you. Not the networking type with cables and switches.
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about the “I just went on vacation” effect (2min) and 4 lessons to start your first online business (3min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Check my Gumroad store to access free and premium books and courses to level up your coding skills and grow your software engineering career.
See you next time,
Cesar
