so far we have about 40 pages of debugging strategies and trying to organize them is a struggle :)

here's a draft of the table of contents (though it's SO FAR from being done, note the "unsorted pages" section haha)

“Technology leadership is not defined by patents, which history has repeatedly shown to be small protection indeed against a determined competitor, but rather by the ability of a company to attract and motivate the world’s most talented engineers.”

Don't be like this prince.

Stop planning and just get the shit done.

Some indicators that you might not need a modal:

🔸You have an inner/outer scroll
🔸You restrict closing the modal by clicking on dark overlay (users will lose the data they've filled)
🔸You have modals inside modals
🔸The modal takes the whole page

Anything else?

@lcvelez Es cierto, por ejemplo eso de más salarios menos impuestos...

yo I don't understand how people can simultaneously be a programmer and think the world's problems can be solved with programming. like, you've seen the state of most software right?

[Michael Feathers @mfeathers]

I think it's good to resurrect the term "unit test." Sure, people will ask what a unit is, but unit testing gives us an answer:

- a 'unit' is whatever we can test in complete isolation without pain.

"Deadlines are often arbitrary, almost aways flexible, and hardly ever trigger the consequences we think - or are told - they will."

[Eric Elliott @ericelliott_]

Good code is simple. Code reviews are a great way to train teams to write simple code. Don't be afraid to say "this is hard to understand".

How to mislead with data visualizations, lesson #314. Scale the data to tell the story you want. Note the blue circle doesn't even crack 1 pixel if this was done to scale!

Can you detect COVID-19 using Machine Learning? 🤔

You have an X-ray or CT scan and the task is to detect if the patient has COVID-19 or not. Sounds doable, right?

None of the 415 ML papers published on the subject in 2020 was usable. Not a single one!

Let's see why 👇

Engineers claim to prefer simplicity and yet, the first tool most reach for is another layer of abstraction. If you have problems, try removing some layers. That’s usually better and it’s almost always simpler.

Compañeros de Twitter, les quería pedir su ayuda, desde BoyacáDev queremos organizar unas charlas el tema entrevistas laborales, cómo buscar trabajo y cómo hacer una hoja de vida para el área de tecnología, ¿algún reclutador o alguien que haga entrevistas nos podría colaborar?
