What was your strategy when a textbook didn't have answers to all of the exercises?

Debezium plus Kafka would be good here - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU9hR3kiOK0

Perhaps I shouldn't have it's the "spirit" of the article, since a larger goal for software engineering is defined with point 5 - regardless, the point is made that, even in the to…

> and some of this can be alleviated by a decent modular design and taking on tech debt to refactoring/swapping out certain implementations for more robust implementations at a fut…

Seems like the spirit of this article is "don't debate test coverage, code design, etc. and just get the job done because meeting requirements is all that matters" and that we shou…

Not sure if this is what segment is doing, but if it’s a worker based on the Kafka Streams library, the k/v state store can be backed by a changelog topic, and if you have a transa…

Lately, I've been struggling with how to best balance code reviews and doing my own work, especially when my work is thinking-intensive. When I have some difficult proof-of-concept…

Can anyone who has tried doing this outside of university recommend some good benchmarks, or resources for setting up a personal lab testing environment for this? I want to give th…

It would be amazing if this integrated with EKS to easily create remote k8s clusters for development. I couldn't tell from this press release if that's a possibility though.

The presentation of patterns here is quite helpful. Is anyone aware of other resources for container design patterns? The k8s blog has some as well: http://blog.kubernetes.io/2016/…

Thanks for sharing! When you set out to do this, had you studied docker's source code at all? Or did you just have a basic understanding of containers? Other than the link from OP,…

> Code coverage is entirely orthogonal to the type of test you are doing. I did not say they were equivalent. Rather, I instead made a connection to the effort required to cover th…

I'm not sure what you mean by "Realistic" tests. Perhaps you mean integrated tests that exercise, say, the entire stack from handling the HTTP request down to the database, if we'r…

Trying to cover your state space with coarse-grained tests in database-backed applications can lead to slow tests suites that are laborious to set up/tear down, which is a barrier …

Sure, these practices can help build a healthy engineering culture, and I agree with them all, especially collective manual testing. How do you keep people from doing TDD though? H…

You say "do what makes you successful" after "I have never let my teams go full TDD". If someone on your team is most successful with TDD, do you still not allow it? re: writing 30…

This seems like lots of fun - mind sharing the books that you alluded to?
