The latest in tech: #Cloudbleed, retrospectives, echo chambers, and more
We’re almost at the end of February, so it’s time for another roundup of the best news & resources from the tech industry!
The CloudFlare #CloudBleed leak is the big news item of the day. If you’re just getting caught up, here’s all the reading you need to get up to speed:
- CloudFlare’s official statement (and a follow up with more details)
- Conversation about it at Hacker News
- Full list of sites potentially affected

Retrospectives are an important part of every team’s process — this presentation covers retrospective styles you might not have heard of before, like gratitude retrospectives, with suggestions on when to use each style.
For team leads who want to take their constructive feedback to the next level (and figure out why their team members are getting stuck), this list of specific reasons contributors get stuck can improve your processes.
We all heard about the Gitlab database outage at the end of last month (you might have even caught the livestream of the fix!). This postmortem covers why it happened, what exactly happened (complete with timeline), and what was done to fix it in great detail — useful reading for any developer.
Last but not least, Josh Pigford of Baremetrics has a great reality check for anyone (from team lead to CEO) working in the startup world. (Having non-business related hobbies has certainly brought new insights to my marketing and writing processes!)
To wrap up with a non-work related piece, this list of simple ways you can cut plastic out of your life is useful (and timely, as Earth Day 2017 draws closer!).
