Since joining Zalando, I have had the opportunity to dive into some open source projects like ESLint , a pluggable JavaScript linter. Here is my take on what ESLint is, a brief description of linting in general, and why it is so important. What is linting? Generally speaking, linting is a tool for static code analysis and therefore part of white-box testing.

The macOS Server 5.2 is a new fruit. It was released (almost) in parallel with Xcode 8 and might come as no surprise that it is the minimum required version by Xcode 8, which also spans new territory. Most importantly, it’s the name change. Say goodbye to OS X Server as now you have macOS Server. But changes go beyond that: While not being mentioned in the changelog, the good old “_xcsbuildd” user is now gone.
