The articles selected for this edition contain a mix of embedded programming, applying principles to software development, improving our code review practices, and rethinking our reliance on threads.

In general, the articles selected for our best-of collections are chosen for their general applicability and longevity. Programming languages, toolchains, processors, and development kits change with the times. We must keep in mind that technological mastery is only a small part of what it takes to build and ship embedded systems successfully. Every moment invested in improving foundational skills pays dividends on the road to mastery.
