I am working on creating an Even Driven Architecture framework for Kotlin. I went through the Software Architecture Patterns for Serverless Systems book, which I think it is fantastic. I learned a lot but I still had a lot of doubts to act

Paraphrasing. Closed doors (focused work) lets you reach local minimum faster. Open doors (More connections) lets you escape local minimums. I guess you need focused work to make progress but once in a while you need contact with others to

Eighteen years here. I am not American but I think this is a holiday that we can all celebrate as reminder that we should be grateful for what and specially for who we have, independently what we don't have.

Isn't the author saying that Python + Pandas is almost as good as R, but Python without Pandas is less powerful than R. I can't help to conclude that Python is as good as R because I still have the choice of using Pandas when I ne

For what is worth. The Kotlin folks have been adding some cool features and tools for data analysis. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/data-analysis-overview.html

I do agree that you should be able to fix most bugs in 2 days or less. If you have many bugs taking longer to fix, it may be an indication that you may have systemic issues. (e.g design, architectural, tooling, environment access, test infr

True. Adding to these. Perl6/Raku suffered from the second system effect. Described in the Mythical Man Month. Larry and company were over confident with their previous success.

I know that there are many reasons for people to work after 65. I also know that sometimes life takes surprising turns. But it makes me nervous to see people so capable as Dave that are well known in our industry looking for a job. What is

"Quality is Free" was repeated over and over by my college professor back in the 80s. I guess he was fan if this guy. https://archive.org/details/qualityisfree00cros . Similarly in software. When a software pr

This is my take too. Just because of the name, people try to make them as small as possible and we end up with too many of them.

I don't disagree, but I have seen a few counter examples in my life. Some of the smartest people that I have known are also the kindest. It is like they are so smart that are able to understand and empathize with other people thoughts

TUI were great for many business applications, specially those in warehouses or factories. They were easier to write and modify. Many business applications were migrated to web for little gain. IMHO.

True. A lot of work done in big companies is waste. 6. A lot of unneeded complexity is added. Perhaps if we can only use AI to understand the wasted effort. Also, I rather have the ICs with some slack and time for clear thinking to address

I agree that a lot of software will be done declaratively rather than imperatively. But we will create DSLs for that. I don't think we will use math for that. And somebody needs to create the DSLs.

I understand this point of view is contrary to popular opinion. The justification of microservices is to allow a team of let's say 10 developers to scale to 100. What you do is create 12 teams of 8. Each team owns their microservice w

I am surprised the stock market is holding up while the virus can have a big impact in world trade. Any guesses ?

That is the whole purpose of doing microservices. Every team can operate independently. Choose their tools, processes, etc. As long as they respect their API Contracts.

This was the vision of Multics, which was the predecesor of Unix. It is interesting how things come around.

Thanks for the tl;dr Probably candidates and influencers should disclose if they are being paid. After all once you are getting paid, you ARE in the advertisement business.

Yes, the article lacks clarity and detail. It almost makes you think that IQ is not important. When we know it very important. Necessary but not sufficient.

What an insightful comment. Housing, Health care and College costs are out of control which are needed if you want to stay in the middle class.

I thought it was pretty much accepted that IQ is very important for success but it is not enough. Among the Big 5 personality traits, Conscientiousness is very important too. Conscientiousness includes (Competence, Order, Dutifulness, Achie

I will give you one thing. We iterate faster. We can try a dozen number of approaches in a week and often we get immediate feedback on what works and what doesn't work. I hardly doubt any other kind of engineer has tried as many things

I moved from SCCS to RCS to CVS to Subversion to Git. Moving to Git was the more difficult step for me. I prefer it now. For a while I had to move back to Subversion and I hated it.

It probably means all of the above. You should be able to read the code and understand how everything works.

Something that I have to ask my self over and over when criticizing someone else code. "Is this wrong, or is it just not the way I would do it?"
