Stripe Press - Hackdot

Re:Stripe Press by ketzo on Tuesday October 05, 2021 @12:34PM (#28761744)

Worth highlighting here: Stripe also publishes a software engineering magazine called Increment [1] that puts out some really high-quality articles -- on a different level than any of your standard "corporate eng blog" kind of stuff (and I love those!).

They focus their issues on different engineering topics: May 2021 was "Containers," August 2020 was "APIs," Feb 2019 was "Internationalization," you get the idea. Can't recommend it enough. Worth scrolling through the topics to one that hits close to your interests.

Nearest to my own heart is the "Frontend" issue [2] -- every article is fucking fascinating, and one of my favorites is a deep dive from Evan You, the author of Vue, about the decision to do a full rewrite for Vue 3.

I am endlessly impressed by the quality of writing that comes out of Stripe.

I also love Increment dearly. In case you missed it, the recent Mobile issue was the penultimate issue.

Why are they shutting it down? Is it spinning out as an independent thing?

I wish they would in-depth write about how they handled API versioning at Stripe (e.g. docs, code wise etc) :)

Yeah, IIRC we got that one blog post and I've been itching for more ever since.

I love the illustrations in Increment. Do you know where I can purchase illustrations like these?

I am not surprised in the least, I think extremely highly of Patrick the CEO as he is very well read and imo is probably one of the most rounded leaders in tech. Just look at his booklist: https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf

I assume this thoughtfulness matriculates down the organization where these high quality write ups originate.

""" The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War Hardcover – August 31, 1969 by Donald Kagan (Author)

Kagan takes issue with Thucydides' view that the war was inevitable, that the rise of the Athenian Empire in a world with an existing rival power made a clash between the two a certainty. """

That's impressive. People pay too little attention to the matrix that's been popping out copies all these centuries.

The list is impressive although Patrick himself admits to read only half of it.

Sounds like a Palladium Mag of software engineering. Much love for publications like that.

We need more long form and high quality publications.

I posit a stack consisting of Substack posts, quality magazines, academic papers as the optimum knowledge supply.

Any idea what CMS increment uses? Their site is very lightweight and served from S3, but I'm curious how they might be generating it.

I was about to, but they mentioned they’re releasing a collector’s box set of 19 issues in November. I figure if I’m paying international shipping I might as well wait.
