There are lots of good articles today. In the development section, Luke Wagner talks about WebAssembly and the companies that will be involved in the new initiative. Even though the large vendors are all playing nice for now, I expect to see performance comparisons well before any of them make it available to the public. On Both Sides of the Table, Mark Suster talks about doing less more often. Sometimes it is about focus and sometimes it is about not doing what everyone else is doing.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
