Coming from an OO background the idea of hard-coding dependencies makes my palms sweat a bit. Your example is pretty simple and I agree with it but for objects/packages that are "reaching out" to the wider system rather than

We've hit 3 problems with nginx: 1. Exactly this, we had mystery double trades from our clients and it took us a long time to realise it was nginx assuming we timed out and routing traffic to the next server 2. It doesn't do healt

Sorry, you're right. I was more indicating at the fact that they power a huge amount of the infrastructure of mobile and telecoms. Here's some sources that indicate that Erlang is still in daily use at Ericsson: http://

A talk by Joe Armstrong I watched recently indicated that around 50% of 3G and more than that of 4G infrastructure uses Ericsson technology, specifically with swoftware written in Erlang. He made a joke about 'sweating over every bit&#

My current manager (who I greatly respect) is awesome at handling this; when I fuck up, he'll come over smiling, and tell me a tale of how he did something similar (only worse) whilst helping me fix the situation. The tale could be a lie fo

"Another thing my mentor did was took me with him to meetings where we reviewed the code. Getting to know your users and understand who you're doing this for is incredibly important. So many organizations try to abstract them away. It was s

About an hour ago I downloaded the windows installer for Ubuntu. It ran just like any other installer on windows and when I restarted there it was, right beside windows. I can also uninstall it with the add/remove programs window. That was

I've seen businesses in yellow pages using questionable tactics as well, especially in the over-saturated areas such as Taxi's and moving businesses. A lot of the businesses advertised are actually one business, and they often have business
