“The most practical secure-coding reference that exists - concrete, actionable guidance per vulnerability class, not a wall of theory.”

donnemartin/system-design-primerEditor's Pick

“The most widely used free resource for learning system design - the interview Q&A section alone is worth the read for anyone job-hunting.”

“A deliberately vulnerable web app for practicing security testing - the most effective way to actually understand OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is to exploit them yourself, safely.”

“A genuinely free, complete curriculum from first line of HTML through backend development and certification - one of the best on-ramps into the field.”

kubernetes/kubernetesEditor's Pick

“The industry-standard container orchestrator - not always necessary at small scale, but the default assumption for any serious cloud-native platform team.”

postgres/postgresEditor's Pick

“The most capable open-source relational database available - strong standards compliance, extensions for nearly everything (including full-text search and vectors), and a default choice for good reason.”

BerriAI/litellmEditor's PickHidden Gem

“Unifies dozens of LLM providers behind a single API, making model switching almost effortless in production.”

huggingface/transformersEditor's Pick

“The standard library for working with open-weight models - thousands of pretrained models are one line of code away.”
