Technical debt is just business debt, it’s risk to the business if people don’t understand it or it’s hard to maintain. Technical debt is a terrible term because it implies it’s just a technical problem, but it’s a business decision.

It feels like this is trying to solve the wrong problem. People aren't asking for a new document standard or a new browser. If you follow the money, you'll find that most of Mozilla's money comes from Google. Most of Google&#

Surely "don't trust everything you read on the Internet" is just a given at this point, especially if it originates on Twitter.

Since that job advert hasn't been removed yet, I'm guessing it's not by accident. That being the case, I imagine that sometimes these things get lost in translation in large corporations and don't literally mean what you

Rules are great because they can be broken, if you know when to do so.

You can’t plan for what you don’t know. This is why I like the "Rule of three"[1]. Only once you've done it three times will you truly begin to understand what the abstraction might need to look like. 1. https://wa

If apple can risk it all by going into the music industry then I think your small startup can take the risk.

Oh my. This seems like a really bad idea. I'm calling it now, this will go wrong. That "Micro Service Instance" is not a microservice, it's an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), aka the Egregious Spaghetti Box. That's as

You described it as a “separate system for handling questions for the development team”. How do you propose that queue is prioritised and consumed by the development team?

by jpswade 6y ago
Kanban is effectively this. It works to an extent, but then someone somewhere usually has an abstracted concept of priority, otherwise you end up with priority as per the "highest paid person's opinion".

by jpswade 6y ago
Much of this is only from the perspective of the consumer, a developer. What businesses want is a way to be able to track progress and communicate priority. The difficulty for the the business is how they communicate their priority to you

Both Jira and Trello allow ordering, how does this differ?

The BBC's approach to this has so far worked out as the best here and continues to provide its the correct approach. I think there's always been a lot to be said for good, static sites, and there still is.

I'd say this is what any distributed system looks like, it's not exclusive to AWS and serverless architecture. It's not even exclusive to distributed systems, most computer systems look like this when you actually think about

I migrated away from Wordpress to github pages and Jekyll... https://wade.be/2016/01/30/welcome-to-jekyll.html Can’t get any easier, cheaper or lazier than that.

Wow, Microsoft are really going full-in on open source. I think this means Open Source has won?

This feels like the domainers fallacy. If this was true, then search.com would be more important than google.com right?

This is fixing the wrong problem. Tabs aren't broken, browser history is. When I tried to find a web page from a certain date a few months ago, it was almost impossible to find. I actually think Internet Explorer used to have quite a g

Who is the target audience here? This is probably all very well, when your primary role is an author. However, the sections on dealing with external triggers and pacts are pretty practical advice in the current climate.

"The medium is the message" so they say. This is what the Internet has become. The commentary is what makes this interesting, not the content of the article.
