Python is the worst language to script anything inside a markup language that does not need to be structured like Python (HTML). So yeah, a good experiment, but unfortunately it is doomed to fail.

First principle thinking does not solve anything in practice. It is just a philosophy. You can make an argument that it can increase your chances of success but it does not guarantee anything.

In my opinion, low-code or no-code cannot be easily used as a general purpose solution. It is suitable for niche problem domains where some basic plumbing can be organised in basic logical workflows. For anything advance it is best to use a

We have around 20 API GW, at least 20 dynamodb tables and more than 30 lambdas, several queues and opensearch replicated across 2 environments (dev and prod) plus additional programming environments (cloud9) and we barely come close to half

What will be the best way to backup and restore cloud instances of Jira and Confluence?

There are a lot of hidden costs for not using a cloud too. One of them is security. Frankly, you won't come up with anything better than AWS IAM in the short term. If you don't care much about that, then it is a different story, b

Vendor lock-in is not always a problem. Imagine that you have a situation where you can either throw one engineer at it to create a custom solution or buy an existing one that locks you into their service offering? What would you choose? It

I feel that all workflow tools are simply lacking in terms of capabilities. Sure, the base-cases are covered but when it comes to something remotely useful it is best to be implemented with real code. That being said, I think there is certa

As others have already pointed out, at large, software is much more reliable today than it used to be. But you also have more of it, some % of which is bad.

It is often failure of the security leadership when security is not aligned with business goals.

DynamoDB is like S3 but with query features. It is not a relational db. It is a document storage. So you need to use it for what it is. Our entire solution is basically based on top of lambda and dynamodb tables and it works really as long

You might want to swap different versions of the same component or you might want to swap by implementing it in a different programming language, etc. These ideas work for me in practice so I don't know.

I have a different view of what microserves are and how they can be used without the overhead everyone is right to point out and hate. In my project we do utilise microserve architecture through the serverless paradigm (i.e. bunch of lambda

Despite the developer pushback, I believe remote IDEs will be the standard in 5-10 years. There are many benefits to provide a standartised developer environment for productivity as well security point of view.

This feature is most useful for parental control and enterprise-level security.

Knowledge graphs are so under-utilised for practical things despite the fact that there is significant amount of useful research out there. Their problem is that they are expensive. I hope further research in ML would help elevate their rel

There is a significant amount of good luck involved in all fortunes and I don’t say it to diminish the effort or originality of the endeavour. There are plenty of brilliant ideas, groundbreaking discoveries, and even useful software projec

That’s good news. At least the list is short and we can start form somewhere.

These kind of mistakes should not be possible in smart contracts if they are to become more mainstream. There has to be layers upon layers of defence built in to protect against common pitfalls. It is crazy that a single line can cause so m

All good things start small and evolve. The C programming language was created over the weekend if I am not mistaken and look how much it stuck for better or worse. JavaScript was also accidental. There was a time you could program web site

JavaScript is such a polarising topic and I wonder why. Browsers are not dropping support anytime soon and the ecosystem is healthier than ever. Just use it for what it is good at. And if you are wondering what that is, it is a great high

Do you start learning FPGA programming by studying frameworks? I doubt. Like all other things you start learning the basics and then once you know them you can abstract complexities with frameworks. There is nothing overwhelming about web d

We operate a serverless infrastructure (lambda + dynamodb) at secapps.com with a super small team, and we could not be any happier. Mind you, currently, we have over 30 services (not microservices but products we sell to clients) and well o

Excel is great no doubt but everyone forgets that it is solving only some types of problems - mostly data input, fomula-based calculations, etc. It is completely unfit for purpose for others.

I don't know much about the topic, but I wonder if particles could hypothetically break down to infinity. Can someone comment?
