I wish there was something similar on Backend development, or better, full-stack development.

I started podcast listening from the Tim Ferris show. It was interesting in the beginning, but not so much recently.
You may like my current favorite - James Altucher show. It feels a bit whacky in the beginning, but grows on you. He prepares well for the podcasts and seems to engage the guests well.

We used Enterprise Architect.
prav | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you still use UML?
Yes, used the UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams and Statechart diagrams for an embedded device software.
It's just a tool for modelling. You can pick and choose the diagrams you need, and at the abstraction level you desire.

Agree with above comment. Linux kernel code, especially device driver code use goto a lot.

Try out the new versions of Jira and Confluence which seem much better. The user experience depends on how both these are managed.
I do wish Jira had much more powerful query, and support for deeper dashboard customization. Compared to ClearQuest, Jira is very user friendly, but CQ felt much more powerful.
prav | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Password best practices?
I store the random passwords generated by tools like pwgen in a encrypted text file (Vim ":X" feature configured for blowfish) which is encrypted with a long complex password. The file is then kept in Truecrypt volume in cloud. I still worry about plain password in clipboard when do copy/paste from the file.
I tried using tools keepass and dashlane. They are good, and work most of the time, but irritant with few sites, enough for me to not use them.

There are some good books in there for embedded/firmware engineers. "Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software" and "Multi-Core Embedded Systems" look interesting.
