I've used Jenkins for a long time, long enough to have used Hudson (Jenkins is a fork of Hudson due to Oracle drama). The alternatives listed in reply to your thread are all much better than Jenkins, from system design, to usability, t

Yes - have a backup of your dev machine to restore from. Apple’s TimeMachine is a godsend. I’ve never had a windows backup program work w/o a lot of fuss. An extra $150 external backup HDD is worth any crash at work, get your company t

TDD (test driven development) really help in solidifying interfaces ahead of time and also to capture regressions. Yes, git diffs help, but once I’ve passed a parameterized suite of unit tests, never needed to undo/redo. Maybe not perf

I’m sure there’s a lot of sun sparc machines in a closet in a computer lab that has less ram and cpu power than today’s iPhones. 1/2 joking, 1/2 truth. It’s client/server, no need to be specifically mobile phone as a course.

Good ‘ole CS 373, had Erickson back in 2002 and it’s def. a defining course in CS at UIUC. The answers to a lot of these are now google-able; you’ll learn more by researching than being spoon fed the solution! Imagine those of us students b

The main point of the article is that even using a UUID for database objects, when other functions in the backend code query multiple classes of objects, those function signatures are poorly written, ex: ban(id: uuid): pass

Or since it is an engineering CLI tool, why not have engineers: 1. clone cli repo 2. run goreleaser 3. copy binary to desired path sure, it's not 1 step (can be condensed with a build script), but it does teach the other engineers how
