Floods are a natural phenomenon that can have both positive and negative impacts. They have historically shaped landscapes and ecosystems but can also cause widespread damage. In Nigeria, flooding negatively impacts road infrastructure, which is massively invested in but a key part of development. Flooding washes away roads and bridges, disrupts transportation, and requires costly reconstruction. Proper planning, design, drainage, and adherence to construction standards can help mitigate these impacts by considering flood patterns and minimizing damage. An integrated framework is needed for sustainable road development in flood-prone areas.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
