Two massive, massive Marvel movies are set to release in 2026, and, according to two massive, massive actors, they may not be included. This week, both Mark Ruffalo and Ryan Reynolds downplayed rumors of their appearances in next year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, respectively, but we aren’t quite buying it.

Protobuffers Are Wrong (2018)

I’ve spent a good deal of my professional life arguing against using protobuffers.

If these problems of protobuffers remained quarantined in serialization abstractions, my complaints would end there.
