Soup?
I lied and didn't put out an extra issue on Friday. Woops, my bad. It was my last weekend in the UK though, and I wanted to see some friends before leaving, so I kind of forgot about it. Oh well. Guess what? Here's the issue.

Web development gets pretty repetitive. But it's not that nice kind of repetitive which can be solved with big copies and pastes, because normally you'll have to change the naming of all of the variables and  functions so that someone in the future will be able to understand what's actually happening. At that point, it feels easier to just rewrite the code from scratch. Luckily Drew Colthorp has shared a useful pattern in regards to how "how [they] deal with cases where [they] want flexible, composable APIs for dealing with statically-known concerns about an application".

5G networks have been in the news a lot, and surprisingly, mostly for bad things (5G giving people COVID, Chinese 5G networks spying on people). Unfortunately, it seems that the promises made by companies about the potential of 5G are yet to be seen in practical use cases.

Working with databases can be tricky business. When it comes to SQL, you'll often have to use transactions for complicated queries, because they might consist of multiple queries, business logic, and then updates or inserts, which require all the data for that transaction to be unchanged (ie not have some other update query change the value of something before the transaction is finished). In this extensive article, James Coglan demonstrates how reading and writing to a database record can be handled to reduce these kinds of issues,  and some solutions for allowing limited database access when data is being worked on.
