When number of deployments becomes an evaluation metrics, I can imagine an engineering culture like this: - Dev rushes to make merge requests with the cost of thoughtful design and testing. - Tension around code review turnaround time: how

My hypothesis is a software growth, like a business or an economy, is fueled by debt. We create technical debts, both deliberately and accidentally, to write software faster. And when the software proves itself as a viable project, we could

Having used Docker Compose/Swarm for last two years, I remember having problems with them twice. One of which was an MTU setting which I didn't really understand why, but overall I was relatively happy with them. Since Kubernetes

If what you've heard is true, it could be pretty toxic. Do you have any evidences to back up?

I guess that most senior engineers receive more recruiter's emails, including from startups, than they wish, so they don't need to use Triplebyte services.

I don't have any experience in Rust. From what I read, Rust is a low level / system programming language. Comparing to dynamic languages like Python, I understand that Rust is much faster. However, Python is fast enough for most w

What you've described is someone who follow some practices religiously. I don't see any correlation between people like that and ones with academic background.

I took one free course in Udacity about advance computer architecture, and was really impressive with their course organization: - Lectures are divided into small chunks, often 5 minutes or less. I'm easy to be bored, but was hardly wh

I doubt whether tech companies have data to backup for this type of interview, something like the correlation between people who do well in whiteboard binary inversion interview and people who do well in real world jobs. Or they just do it

I also prefer command line to GUI for many tools. However I've worked with some truly great programmers who always try to find a GUI application for editor, git, svn, debuggers, etc. Was my command line way the best practice? I doubt t

Coincidently I've just read several chapters from the Learn you a Haskell book. I couldn't write any serious Haskell project in near future, but learning it has been so much fun. No surprised when many other programmers are touchi

Reading this makes me realize how naive I was. I thought I could rent a cheap dedicated server from OVH and leverage Docker to build nice infrastructure without paying too much. Better staying with Google/AWS then.

I may be naive here. I hope Github/Gitlab would implement a similar feature to their platform with a option to pay the developer. I don't mind donate $500 a month to a good OSS because a good developer costs at least 20 times th
