Coding is just a small part of a modern software engineers job. And some may think it isn’t the hardest part.

It’s not. It’s raining here.

I think you need to lighten up and adapt the way programmers have adapted since the 50s. There’s been a lot of pomposity over the past ten years around “craft”, you’d think we’re a…

If he can only remember two programming languages then he wouldn’t stand a chance in today’s dev ops, t-shaped, m-shaped world I’m afraid. Imagine asking him to help setup an CI pi…

Using a common language between platforms, whether it’s Swift or Kotlin always sounds great on the surface but I don’t think adds the expected efficiencies when it comes to the cru…
