In the British tradition, university students used to participate in debates where two people argued the opposite sides of a question. The debaters got brownie points for winning the debate, not for arguing the RIGHT opinion. Often the deba

I have found that a similar technique helps with coding as well. If you are debugging some issue and it getting bogged down in the details, take a break by working on a side project that is less technically intense, maybe in a different lan

A lot of people seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the Internet is. It begins with telecommunications, namely wires and radio links that carry data. You cannot have an Internet without these. Normally these things are provi

I like the fact that this writer ends up discussing how all interviews are really people interviews. Finding out in the interview whether or not a candidate can fit into the team is probably more valuable than finding out their level of te

So the Russians invented and built the first working RFID in 1945! No wonder they made such a big deal about being a nation of builders in their opening show for the Sochi Olympics. What happened to the USA that they began to underestimate

First if all, I don'[t think it is a good idea to let developers get away with just including any random library they feel like. Part of your code review should be to check the build,gradle, pom.xml or Makefile to make sure that added

Let's see, everything is just nodes and connections. Category theory says everything is just objects and morphisms. Brown's Laws of Form starts with "drawing a distinction". Could this last be the starting point? Is it c

The important difference here is not which bits of technology are in use, but that YouGram has some shared standards and all the team members are using the same toolset. Also, everyone has issues with documentation and one good way to limit

This is what people mean when they talk about "technical debt". Many of us have realized that when mistakes are not fixed early, we end up doing 10x, 20x, and even 200x the amount of work in dealing with the consequences of those

Malthusian apocalypse is far too simplistic. It is a nice thought experiment to demonstrate that linear growth is not possible, but it has too few dimensions to be useful beyond that. The problem is the same order of complexity as chess, wh
