While NATs might have contributed to its demise, there were more fundamental reasons why CORBA failed. For anyone interested in thorough analysis instead of opinions I recommend this really good article from 1994: https://github.

Tcl is a great language and ecosystem. It fell victim to a few independent political decisions that resulted in low popularity: - Sun's pushing Java and killing everything else - Stallman's distaste for anything non-GPL EDIT: word

"Network Programming in Go" is no longer free so it should be removed from the list. This book has been removed as it will shortly be published by APress.

It's not only a misnomer but the term is not needed. We've had SOA, web services, microservices, now serverless. I'm not saying it's all hype. It's rather a steady, lasting a few decades, transition towards outsourc

Unfortunately no word on durability and maintenance guarantees. What happens after a few years when batteries lose most of their capacity? Who is going to take care of recycling? I'm honestly curious about details because as opposed to

This is so terrible use case for blockchain. In a trusted environment blockchain might only introduce complexity and security problems. Hey, but isn't it what consulting is about?

You can view GOPATH centered development as a sign of simplicity. Probably not the most elegant thing in the world but the code organization is easy to fix with: ln -s PROJECT_SOURCE_FOLDER $GOPATH/src/

I had no idea the rule is a classic. It's frustrating that with a little more education I would have spared plenty of time spent reinventing the wheel.

Naming is related to scope and I'm surprised there is so little about it in the article. While trying to find an universal principle I came up with this rule: "identifier's entropy should be proportional to its scope". G
