CI/CD doesn't require the cloud or containers.

IIRC, they were doing things like patching bittorrent to prefer closer IP's to pull from during their deploys. So it would roll through their network from 1 side to the other witho…

But you do end up with "task driven development". Tasks should be used for communication of priorities and so forth, but they're often treated as stone tablets passed down from the…

I disagree with this emphatically. Code is meant to change. It changes. That's really all there is to it. It's like saying a tire was bad because it got changed at some point durin…

This is exactly why I say for best results, let your engineers and "customers" talk directly to each other.

I don't know that I would call the Pareto Principle a mental model. But having said that, for me software dev is supposed to be chaotic and that's ok. I describe it as boiling wate…

If it's an app and the answer to that question isn't clearly the people who download and install the app, your priorities are fucked.

I don't disagree with your point, but influencer nowadays is active whereas a simple ad is passive. Due to this, the modern day influencer (aka person) is absolutely a psychologica…

There's a certain class of people who believe the free market can solve all problems, and for these people, the way you inject said free market is by using insurance. The thing is,…

Back in the mid to late 90's I predicted this. I used to tell friends that science would be the new religion and scientists the new priests. And indeed that's exactly what has happ…
