Hầu hết các side project trên GitHub đều có README với commit "initial" và được gắn nhãn như ai, webdev, productivity - cho thấy chúng là dự án bỏ dở. Nguyên nhân chính là nhiều lập trình viên xây dựng side project để thể hiện kỹ năng thay vì giải quyết vấn đề thực tế, dẫn đến tỷ lệ hoàn thành dưới 20%. Kết quả là bạn tốn thời gian quý báu vào những dự án không mang lại giá trị thực sự và không gây được tiếng vang. Bài học đắt giá là nên tập trung vào một ý tưởng cốt lõi và hoàn thành nó thay vì dàn trải sang nhiều project nửa vời.
AI summaries can be wrong. Read the original before relying on anything important.
Why read it: Bài này giúp lập trình viên nhận ra thực tế về sự đánh giá cao của cộng đồng đối với các dự án phụ để tập trung vào thứ thực sự tạo ra giá trị.

Dealing with the left side of the visibility spectrum
I built and launched Pollzy on iOS and Android as a solo developer, despite having never built a mobile app before.
Hosting providers, platforms, and phone makers should adopt AVIF and AV2 more widely, the author argues. Hetzner raised prices multiple times in 2026 citing rising hardware costs, partly driven by AI demand. AVIF generally compresses better than WebP at comparable quality, and the author has switched to AVIF everywhere it's supported, falling back to WebP otherwise. YouTube is preparing to move from AV1 to AV2 as early as 2027. The author also wants better native support for Apple's HEIC format alongside AVIF, and suggests users encode AVIF locally before uploading to ease server load.
