There are some interesting articles to share today. First, Mozilla announces its new Test Pilot program, where you get to help build the future of Firefox. Google Cloud Platform announces the availability of StackDriver Trace for Google App Engine. Slack introduced “Sign in with Slack”, their new social identity offering. I am not entirely sure why this become a thing, but I guess they see themselves as able to compete with Google, Facebook and Twitter.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
