@JoeEmison just read your serverless game changer book. Thanks for such a well presented argument. Interested if you have thoughts about the salesforce platform and using it to build custom software vs the approach you describe in your book
@JoeEmison Thanks Joe I have not come across Mendix will take a look. My experience with low code platforms is limited to ms power apps. Eventually the logic in there got so complex and hard to test that it felt like a code solution would be.
An inspiring discussion about #serverless#agile and cloud development practices. An insurance company that has no roadmap, does #noestimates and focuses on software maintainability https://t.co/rwikex7PI3
Scrum is NOT agile. JIRA is NOT agile. Agility is the values and principles from the Agile Manifesto. Agile is a team of people delivering a valuable product. Thank you @allenholub#agile https://t.co/Y1o0C4ajFR
Let's say a "score" is an integer between 1 and 5.
bad:
validateScore(n: number): number
better:
parseScore(n: number): Score
good:
parseScore(n: number): Option<Score>
awesome:
parseScore(n: number): Either<NotAnInteger | TooLow | TooHigh, Score>

A concept being hard is subjective. Plus we should not discount the ability of people to learn new concepts. Also some problems are simpler with recursion e.g. working with tree structures.
When you finish a PhD in computer science, they take you to a special room and explain that you must never use recursion in real life. Its only purpose is to make programming hard for undergrads.
Looking forward to sharing how we solved a business problem using #serverless technologies and some of the technical issues we encountered along the way.
