CS-443 Tasks 4 and 5

This post is for tasks 4 and 5 for CS-443 for Spring 2025. Since there is no #blogs-and-podcasts channel in the Discord, I am just posting them here.

Task 4

The blog I found relating to the content for this course is https://blog.qasource.com/. This blog talks about a lot of quality assurance methodologies and best practices. I chose this blog because one of my colleagues actually recommended this close to the beginning of my career, and I have seen different posts on it over the years.

Task 5

The podcast I found relating to the content for this course is https://www.garymcgraw.com/technology/silver-bullet-podcast/. This podcast talks specifically about penetration testing and different security practices. I chose a podcast with this focus because pentesting is one of my areas of expertise, and I listen to this podcast whenever a new episode comes out.

Exploring LibreFoodPantry and Thea’s Pantry

 In this post, I want to highlight the Code of Conduct section of the LibreFoodPantry community page. This part of the site outlines a pledge that ensures everyone in the community can participate in a respectful and inclusive environment. What stood out to me is the focus on empathy, kindness, and respect for differing opinions. This is especially important in any community-driven project, as it creates a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel safe sharing ideas and collaborating. I chose to write about this because it’s easy to overlook how important it is to have an outlined set of guidelines that protect participants. The specific examples of acceptable and unacceptable behavior provided are especially helpful, as they create clarity around what is expected. I thought it seemed very similar to the working agreements we created in our first class, and I understand their importance now.

For Thea’s Pantry, I was really excited to see that they use semantic versioning for their software updates. It was very cool to see a concept we covered in class show up in the real world. I’ve seen semantic versioning used at my job, where we track all of our releases, but that is something I expect from a formal company.. Seeing this system used in a project like Thea’s Pantry really reinforced how valuable these best practices are in professional, open-source development.

It’s a great reminder that the concepts we study in class have tangible applications in real-world projects, and it’s exciting to see them put into action.
