It is time to share new reading notes. It is a habit I started a long time ago where I share a list of all the articles, blog posts, and books that catch my interest during the week. 
  

If you think you may have interesting content, share it!

  
 
## The suggestion of the week

- **[How to Contribute to Open Source without Knowing How to Code: A guide with project suggestions](https://dev.to/opensauced/how-to-contribute-to-open-source-without-knowing-how-to-code-a-guide-with-project-suggestions-59e5)** (Bekah) - Yas! This is so true! Many of the contributions in my projects aren't code and each time that really helped. Correcting a single typo is useful!

## Programming

- **[Docker Desktop 4.19: Compose v2, the Moby project, and more](https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-desktop-4-19/)** ( Sylvialynn Favello) - Compose v2 is here time to move up!

- **[Blazor Basics: What is Blazor?](https://dev.to/telerik/blazor-basics-what-is-blazor-introduction-to-blazor-development-203m-temp-slug-8643226)** (Claudio Bernasconi ) - You would like to build a Single Page Application (spa) but are unfamiliar with Blazor? This post is an excellent place to get started before doing your first "hello world" app.

- **[Docker Init: Initialize Dockerfiles and Compose files with a single CLI command](https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-init-initialize-dockerfiles-and-compose-files-with-a-single-cli-command/)** (Marc Sherwood, Nuno Coracao) - That's a very useful new command! And there is a demo video to see it in action.

## Databases

- **[Database 101: How social media “likes” are stored in a database](https://dev.to/godspowercuche/database-101-how-social-media-likes-are-stored-in-a-database-2pj7-temp-slug-3606225)** (Daniel Reis) - Great share! What ever using ScyllaDB or something else thinking about how your data will be queried is always good.

## Podcasts

- **[5 strategies for managing your manager](https://castbox.fm/episode/5-strategies-for-managing-your-manager-id1158851-id588755113)** (Modern Mentor) -
- **[Failing Intelligence](https://castbox.fm/episode/Failing-Intelligence-id2466815-id593232632)** () - An interesting discussion about AI and it's potential impact to our society.

I think all of us. In the episode, Greg revisits the core ideas of doing it but effortlessly.

## Miscellaneous

- **[Getting started with Microsoft Learn](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-learn-blog/getting-started-with-microsoft-learn/ba-p/3810761)** (Johan Myburgh) - Lear has grown to such a complete and diversified source of information. It's definitely a must to learn new stuff!

- **[The 15-Minute Meeting: Change Your Workday, Change Your Life](https://www.donnfelker.com/the-15-minute-meeting/)** (Donn Felker) - I like the idea of shorter meetings, it's true that some could be shorter.
