I've never been convinced this is an advantage. Ryanair (the discount carrier) has a fleet of 354 boeing-737s. This means they cannot fly some routes the bigger jets can, and other routes they burn more fuel than the smaller jets would

> Microservices should be small enough to be owned by a single developer This seems bad for code review, and disastrous with turnover. Whoops, now we need to find a scheme engineer whose eccentricities are roughly equivalent to this last

Agreed. I am a male, and it took me 3 years out in the real world before I felt I was actually being properly paid. Having been in a situation where I am underpaid but really like my job, i.e. startup, I know the emotional toll and how it c

I would argue it would be simpler to introduce test coverage tools that automatically call out bad test coverage during code review. Microservices remind me of a particular C++ protocol implementation I wrote as a novice programmer. Since t

In Sydney where the cost of living is high, a typical non-skilled wage is ~$20. The result is all service based industries, cafes to full service laundromats, are relatively expensive. However if one is willing to forego the luxuries, it is

Do you subscribe to the microservice philosophy? I ask because you come from the era of shared objects, and I personally still consider libraries with well defined APIs to be much simpler than dealing with multiple processes possibly runnin

I for the first time have an understanding with my employer that I have about 5-6 useful hours in me. I am not someone who paces well and will go into a coding frenzy until I drop, at which point I know I'm done. After that I go home a

Interestingly one of the leading causes of general aviation accidents is CFIT, controlled flight into terrain. One major cause is pilots not paying attention to automation (autopilot).

Changing the interpreter's behavior is equivalent to creating a new language. The problem with Ruby (and especially rails) programs is that every program is written in a different language, and what that language is is largely defined

Write a "how this piece of incredibly complicated software works" document for a piece of software you have no idea of the workings. I have never actually published any, but have done this several times. The process is unlike any

Caveat, don't be afraid to use advanced language features if doing so eliminates boilerplate.

I'm trying to find more info on angular 2 incremental rendering that you've mentioned. I've despised angular since pre-1.0, mainly for performance reasons. Once the number of watchers hits 1000 or so, a browser will noticeabl

This happened to me without deliberately picking a persona to model. My Japanese persona is chirpy with a rhythmic speed. My English is cold, monotonous and logical with a dry sense of humour. I honestly feel like a totally different person

Pilot's who pour everything into their planes have a staying: you can sleep in your plane but you can't fly your house! I guess people have different aspirations in life.

Scala is a superpower, the language features are rich and flexible enough that boilerplate can be eliminated and per LoC productivity integer times increased. You get all the benefits of a compiled language, and compile time is nothing comp

Tree *a = new Leaf(); Tree *b = new Leaf(); Tree *c = new Node(a, b); a.parent = b.parent = c; null has other uses, e.g. as above for cyclically dependent initialisation.

Dynamic languages reduce the formal overhead required to develop new ideas. I can't imagine that an "eliminate boilerplate via convention at the cost of explicitness" mentality would have evolved independently in a world wher

For the longest time I refused to wear glasses and learned to read 13x7 bitmap blurs. Even with glasses, I can't read any other font nearly as well, so I'm stuck with my low res screens. What I really want is a low res screen as b

Agreed the style guide is a guideline at best. I've moved to the dotless notation because I like that it provides a way to indicate pure code. Postfix operators are poorly supported though. (xs map { x => x.key -> x }).toMap

My personal cutoff for magic is if it's determined at compile time, I'm happy. If someone has proven to the compiler that a piece of code has a certain nonobvious behaviour, I'm usually intrigued. If my interpreter starts par

The scala style guide suggests that the dotless notation be used for pure (side-effect-less) operations.
