For all the benefits, there is a large problem with this approach that often goes unacknowledged. It is fundamentally a business problem, rather than a technical problem, but it has impact on development speed, so it's secondarily a t

Canon law, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is used in the governance of the Catholic Church. It governs the internal affairs of the church and the conduct of its members. This site appears to be a searchable, linkable version of the c

This approach to prayer uses what I call the "genie in a bottle" view of God. It treats prayer as wishes, and the only metric that matters is how many of those wishes turn out to be granted by the genie. Here is a reflection on th

Not only can this be an effective strategy for coding tasks, but it can also be used for data querying. Picture a text-to-SQL agent that can query database schemas, construct queries, run explain plans, inspect the error outputs, and then

This article suggests that this is a win-lose scenario. It's a win for the workers and the economy at large, but a loss for employers. However, it might very well be a win-win. While the employer might lose a worker to an entrepreneuri

This passage is from a book I read with my kids, in the "Mysterious Benedict Society" series. I like the way it describes how we become, in a sense, an accumulation of our selves, past and present. I also feel that way about some

A programmer's JOB is not to think. It's to deliver value to their employer or customers. That's why programmers get paid. Yes, thinking hard about how to deliver that value with software is important, but when it comes to a

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest ... the Catholic Church! Which _other_ churches besides the Catholic Church? Well, Catholicism is more encompassing than many people are aware of. For instance, you might have heard of the &qu
