That was exactly how folks talked about TIBCO. I didn't find it very powerful. I felt it very cumbersome. When you need to think about Day 2 is where everything completely collapsed. We were able to pass data around in incredible lig

Think TIBCO data pipelines. You create sources of data and can have non-technical (or maybe non-developer) roles wire together these data pipelines with transformations, aggregations etc.

We used NiFi...one of the worst experiences. It installs like an appliance and feels like you are grappling with a legacy tool weighed down by a classic view on architecture and maintenance. We had built a data pipeline and it was for very

It sounds like you and I are very similar. I was part of a company that went down the road of XP...it was very difficult for the first 6 months but it changed my life. I am much different now than when I started (I am actually in a role whe

You don't accept the possibility this could be true? What's missing here are facts. To dismiss something based on something anecdotally unrelated seems short-sighted.

Coming here literally to talk about this. The youthfulness of the article is adorable albeit a little naieve. Maybe we are getting old. I still feel like a kid and there are many greybeards that were born of the digital revolution that are

This writer is brilliant. Never have done (and really never was that interested in) drugs, but the air of mystery and cat & mouse that he wrote in was just fantastic. A very serious subject with very real consequences but what a ride th

I have tried many many things. One thing I have learned is despite all having our own quirks, we all respond to pain similarly. If you disconnect the pain of bad behavior from actions, you will break a framework/model with potential. W

Hashing solved a problem of limiting supply and spreading the work in a dynamic way to prevent takeovers. Energy consumption would be dramatically less if ASICs weren't a thing. In hindsight it is obvious they would be built but give m

I love the humble nature of this post and how fallible we are. I have spent many days playing whack-a-mole with issues and hacking out solutions. What is equally great is the community sharing their gotchas and how they solved them. A whole
