"The society that separates its architects from its engineers will have its thinking done by architect astronauts and its engineering by rockstar coders."

I am terrorized at the number of "data scientists" who don't have the faintest notion of ASYMMETRY under uncertainty, can't grasp the difference between evidence of absence and absence of evidence.

Everything we do in software is a set of tradeoffs. The systems that we deal with and endure every day are what they are because of a set of tradeoffs that were chosen, many choices having been "get it done, then make it better." Generally, the second never happens.

Just finished reading "Domain Modelling Made Functional" by Scott Wlaschin. As promised, my full review of the book. If I can recommend one book about understanding how to model real-world problems with Functional Programming, it'll be this book. If you want to kill two

Most teams don't have a tech problem. They have a learning problem. Fast feedback, short iterations, real users. That’s how software grows. Stop polishing code in a vacuum. Ship. Learn. Improve. Repeat.

Was in an Amish furniture store a few years ago talking to the carpenter when a notification on my watch vibrated, and I glanced at it. “What’s that,” he asked. I explained to him that my robot vacuum at home was notifying me that it was stuck. “Oh! And what can you do about

There's a way of programming that I've been doing for decades and I realized recently it doesn't come naturally to many folks, so here's a pro tip: Write to the interface you'd like to have. That is, write the code you want, even if it doesn't work, then make it work.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when. That’s why all true learning is “on the job.” Life is lived in the arena.
