Right now my sendmail configuration handling my domains have one queue directory /var/spool/mqueue which means that each round of the queue processing handles all the outgoing mail in succession.
This is getting less OK because of the increased mail volume over time both on mail that gets in and needs to be forwarded and mail that needs to be bounced for various reasons like SPAM.
So below are some links helping me to sort out various things including having multiple queues (as then each round can handle each queue in parallel).
The default sendmail configuration is one mail queue and I hope to find out for what reason that is.

This is about Ruby anti-patterns, which is a good step to start investigating the own anti-patterns you use in your own development environment:

For my link archive:
Via: [WyBack] Are there blank characters in unicode that have the same widths as period, comma and digits? – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Answer: no, though better fonts have period, comma, colon, semicolon and other punctuations the same width as the punctuation space.
The use-case:
I wanted right justified text without having to do custom positioning/drawing – where the decimal zero is white space.
F.x. here 12 instead of 12.0
9.5
11.6
12 <– #$2008 and #$2007
13.4
I.e. PunctuationSpace and FigureSpace
I don’t want to deal with positioning/rendering since it happens inside a third party component.

[WayBack] pure-bash-bible/README.md at master · dylanaraps/pure-bash-bible · GitHub:
The goal of this book is to document known and unknown methods of doing various tasks using only built-in bash features. Using the snippets from this bible can help remove unneeded dependencies from scripts and in most cases make them faster. I came across these tips and discovered a few while developing neofetch, pxltrm and other smaller projects.
The snippets below are linted using shellcheck and tests have been written where applicable. Want to contribute? Read the CONTRIBUTING.md. It outlines how the unit tests work and what is required when adding snippets to the bible.
See something incorrectly described, buggy or outright wrong? Open an issue or send a pull request. If the bible is missing something, open an issue and a solution will be found.
