Suggestion to author. When you write an article on the decline of usability, you might want to consider centering the text.

Depends on your point of reference. If you buy into the ecology you could build a sane career where experience actually meant something instead of being level set every two years by the new shiny tech stack that's going to save the ind

I call it telescope or pennant code, it's definitely a smell.

I could only wish the distinction was explicit. It's been my experience that they don't call it that but instead expect the application developers to handle everything which leads to a big ball of configuration management mud.

I like your take on the situation and I like the idea of DevOps being a more formalized version of system administration using infrastructure as code. Unfortunately, what I think it is in most places is middle management playing games with

Do you think wrapping that all up in a docker container is a bridge too far? I've seen this video before and have thought about installing on this old box I use as a file server but have never got around to it.

I thought that too until I moved to Arizona and I can say I hate the fixed time because work hours typically don't adjust with the sun. Summer is worse for me than winter because I have a tougher time getting a good nights sleep due to

Yeah, my idea was something with the interface of a launcher but where the results are display as a tree list. The result of a very large set of commands would either be a tree list or the rendering of some other GUI element in which case t

Also the Raskins', Jef and his son Aza, were onto this a long time ago. The general idea is applications, desktop or web, are the problem and that a better interface is one that provides a ubiquitous means of issuing commands with natu

Yeah, I'd say GUI development is one of the places OOP really shines. I think a lot of the OOP was a mistake opinions come from its ubiquitous use in the enterprise, even in domains for which it was not well suited.

WRT the extradition debate, does anyone know if the key legislators responsible for drafting the laws are ever called as expert witnesses when questions arise interpreting the laws?

Yeah I’m with most of what you’re saying. The car example was particularly painful. A car is put together on an assembly line comprised of parts that have have no knowledge at all of the other parts of the system. And the manufacturer of an

I agree with most everything said in the article but with a big condition. If I as an engineer am responsible for everything the author says I should be responsible for then I want total control of the tech stack and runtime environment.

I like this. Reddit should not be allowed to remove r/* because they don't agree with the politics of the subreddit. To enforce it, all members, individually, should be eligible to arbitrate the removal. Given the arbitration cost

In my Fluid Dynamics class we used Excel together with Finite Element Analysis to solve all kinds of problems. It was actually pretty cool. I remember specifically solving heat gradient problems in various shapes this way.

The string 'JSON Web Token' doesn't appear anywhere on the web page. If you're going to use an acronym expand it out the first time you use it.

I have no data to back this up but I'd say the majority of projects I've worked on during my career my time would have been better spent working on things that made the development teams more efficient. That is to say, with rare e

With respect to AWS Lambda specifically, a real consideration is how fast the context loads. In the absence of warming schemes, any performance gains you get using Java for example, might be out weighed by the the cost of loading a much lar

Matthew Crawford has some good thoughts on this subject. He posits that the agency afforded an individual by working with their hands is something that, by and large, has been lost. He also touches on the liberation of working on things whe

Great idea for a blog! Is there any reason you have not ventured into the serverless realm? It would be interesting to hear the take on that ecosystem from someone who has such experience with microservice stacks.

Yeah, I agree, the logistics are tough and the comment was really just a proxy for... A company that must rely on a take home project to get a meaningful assessment of your worthiness and competency for a position is a huge red flag. Any en

Agreed and what your describing actually happens in a lot of work environments. I've seen a trend in the last few years where middle management is attempting to separate "programmers" from "engineers/architects&quot

I see. Yeah, to be clear, I'm NOT for the government getting involved at all. My take on the DC hearings is it was just a smoke screen because they're scared to death of a trend materializing that non-career politicians can get
