    You might like "Software Architecture: The Hard Parts." Though you already describe some of the points of the book. There isn't a magic bullet and every decision to split something…

    The author's real issue is failing the first coding exercise then apparently not hitting the books to solve for problems being presented. They aren't testing if you're a good softw…

    It's because the simulation was built to simulate a culture that wasn't yet aware of aliens and alien interaction isn't part of the experiment. It's also less expensive in compute …

    More eyeballs actually may mean secure code, but only if those eyeballs know what secure code is and if those eyeballs can be bothered to check out the source code. Security softwa…
