The relationship between a software system and the people who build and operate it does not get discussed enough in this industry. This read won't give you answers to the many ques…

I'd go so far as to say that configuration details for specific runtime environments should never be the concern of the application/service/program itself. It's almost always a sme…

While this might be decent advice around the internal details of a Django application's settings, what's missing is a mention of who this approach is designed for. It appears geare…

In the name of transparency, this did happen :)

I applied and had one brief interview with someone over video. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's reasonable to expect a follow up, possibly with some feedback, after an intervie…

There's a cost to ensure all your data is encrypted in transit regardless of how you do it.

There's also a lesser known project out there: https://search-guard.com/ Paired with an OpenResty reverse proxy I was able to set up a reasonably secure cluster back when X-Pack wa…

Highly recommend visiting the Gropius House. It's a wonderful example of what modern residential architecture could, maybe should, be. What I appreciate most about it is the obviou…

Wow, not one person read this article and saw the NYC cultural commentary? Don't you all know we hate being early as much as we hate being late?
