You probably don't need Oh My Zsh
https://rushter.com/blog/zsh-shell
Oh My Zsh is still getting recommended a lot. The main problem with Oh My Zsh is that it adds a lot of unnecessary bloat that affects shell startup time.
Since OMZ is written in shell scripts, every time you open a new terminal tab, it has to interpret all those scripts. Most likely, you don't need OMZ at all.

What came first: the CNAME or the A record?
https://blog.cloudflare.com/cname-a-record-order-dns-standards
On January 8, 2026, a routine update to 1.1.1.1 aimed at reducing memory usage accidentally triggered a wave of DNS resolution failures for users across the Internet. The root cause wasn't an attack or an outage, but a subtle shift in the order of records within our DNS responses.

Quiet Influence: A Guide to Nemawashi in Engineering
https://hodgkins.io/blog/quiet-influence-a-guide-to-nemawashi-in-engineering
Being an excellent engineer helps you advance through the ranks to become a Staff Engineer; “quiet influence” keeps you there.
I’ve learned the hard way that my architectural proposals didn’t fail on technical merits (mostly 😅); they failed because of the social strategy (or lack thereof) I had employed behind them. I’d have a vision on how things were going to be improved, but struggled to recruit others to get behind the idea.
After a few painful misses, I started building a toolkit of approaches that actually get big changes through. In this post, I’ll share a technique I use: Nemawashi.
