Deciding between using JavaScript frameworks is really just like being in a supermarket where all the brands are in a foreign language and you're allergic to half the ingredients.

Microsservice architecture anti-patterns, nice read @crichardson !

[Chris Richardson @crichardson]

Back in 2019, I wrote about anti-patterns of microservice architecture adoption that I observed at numerous companies around the world.

Sadly, based on recent conversations, it appears that many companies are still making the same mistakes.

Try digging through this thread, there is gold to be found 🤠

If you're doing Scrum and estimating or breaking up stories into tasks, you may want to reconsider. From the horses mouth: 👇

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Wow.

This will have an important implication on those working in tech in Europe: US companies hiring engineers remote will find hiring far more affordable.

Imagine hiring a senior software engineer for $90-130K/year base in Western Europe*

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Instead of building systems - similar to how buildings are constructed, following a well-defined plan+phases - we should grow them, having a working system evolving every day.

It’s how modern teams operate.

Incredibly, this was written ~30 years ago in the Mythical Man Month:

The publisher has printed a 100 million copies of this book, just in case.

One day I will open my code school.

It will take people out from code school were they learnt building app.

And it will teach them how to maintain an app.

Maintenance cost in IT switched in 2000’s, accounting for more than 80%.

And yet we are not teaching this.

Great take on software development @simonbrown thanks for sharing!

How much up front (technical) design should software development teams do? See the last section of my "Software Architecture of Developers" workshop -> https://t.co/i0jbAN5zVY

Sales wants spreadsheet-like apps, because then they can provide a solution for every customer-wish. But is it what the customer wants? IMO: NO!

Strange pleasure? No No :-)

[Clive Thompson @pomeranian99]

In summer 1981, I was loaned a VIC-20 and coded about 10 hours a day.

But! I had no storage drive. So, what to do?

Write the code out by hand, and retype it -- hundreds of lines -- the next day.
