Ask HN: What are some good publicly available postmortems to read? (ycombinator.com)
I'm looking to read a few (publicly available) postmortems of incidents and accidents. The domain/organization/... doesn't matter too much so long as they are insightful and there's something to be learned from reading them. Bonus points for including a quick note on why you considered them particularly interesting!

Ask HN: What is the best way to learn Go? (ycombinator.com)
After 40+ years of writing C I'm going to learn Go. Is "The Go Programming Language" still the way? It is 8 years old now and the language has seen more than a few changes between then and now. What books should I be looking at?

What would be the right path to learn AI? (ycombinator.com)
I haven’t been keeping up with AI stuff except for trying out chat clients like ChatGPT and others. I’m a software engineer working in infra systems. I would like to pick up now that things in AI have gotten real. What would be the right path to learn AI/ML stuff? I’m someone who prefers ground up learning from fundamentals and building something using that knowledge. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to Learn Rust in 2024 (jetbrains.com)
So, you’re thinking about choosing Rust as your next programming language to learn. You already know what it means to write code and have some experience with at least one programming language, probably Python or JavaScript. You’ve heard about Rust here and there. People say it’s a modern systems programming language that brings safety and performance and solves problems that are hard to avoid in other programming languages (such as C or C++). Someone mentioned that Rust’s popularity is growing.
