Friday Links: Scams, scaling, and code reviewing
22 Aug 2025 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. Typing isn’t the bottleneck (2min). With AI in the mix, it seems we’re optimizing the wrong variable.
#2. Here’s someone who played the game of a scam job interview (20min) and lived to tell about it.
#3. Not all side projects have to scale (3min) or become the next rising Silicon Valley startup. And that’s fine.
#4. If you’re looking for alternatives to code reviews on GitHub, here’s how code reviews can be better (6min).
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about why now is the best time to learn coding (2min) and how to navigate to the root folder of a git repo (1min).
