Works very well for me, a startup CTO in London. Average hit rate for me (in two different roles as hiring manager) has been about one inquiry every two or three postings and one hire per year. This volume isn't enough to grow teams as fast

SOA is somewhat different to the "microservice" design it seems this author is proposing. I summarised what I could find on this - ideas from James Lewis at Thoughtworks, Dan North at DRW, and Fred George at Forward - in a recent CITCON ses

These are accessible & enjoyable. I am on lecture 12 and learning a lot. Warning: some topics, such as sorting on a machine with unrealistically huge word size, are of only theoretical interest (but it's great theory).

I have just moved from B2B, where many "deadlines" were largely artificial and driven by sales targets rather than real business need, to online retail, where the deadline is often concrete, immovable, and external (trade show, Olympics, Ch
