I've lost so many battles (pre-existing conditions, out-of-network charges, etc.) with my insurance company that it drove me insane. So I got treatment for insanity and submitted those claims. Turns out they don't cover treatment for insanity they caused.

My perspective on convention versus configuration is that we want the speed, reliability, and scalability (across dev teams) of convention but the flexibility of configuration. And the harsh reality is that convenience often trumps all.

I sometimes get frustrated with the multitude of available software languages and frameworks. When we solve problems by creating new solutions, we can actually create more problems (integration, interoperability, hiring, onboarding, etc).

I'm really interested in the Resgate.io project, with gateway functionality between clients and NATS. Is this project still active?

Anyone ever feel like this is how businesses think? "Craziness means activity, and activity means progress, and progress means revenue, and revenue means success."

Tried to order pizza last night with my BlockFi card and…denied. It’s surreal to be experiencing this in real-time. Remember the #FTXbankruptcy and how it brought down #BlockFi with it? Remember the accompanying personal existential crisis?

The quickest way to tie your shoes is to take one lace from the left shoe, one from the right, and tie them together. It's also the quickest way to fall while running. #agile #software

Two weeks ago I became frustrated with my profession. We spend lots of time getting humans on the same page or getting computers to talk to each other. But we’ve spent very little time building a bridge between humans and computers. Until now… medium.com/@timkleier/ubi…

If you're building an API, it's important not to introduce any breaking changes. A breaking change is anything that requires a consumer to make an update on their end. Here, Tim Kleier goes over how you can evolve schemas to avoid breaking changes. freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-ha…

If you're building an API, you'll need to be careful not to introduce breaking changes. A breaking change is anything that requires a user to make an update on their end. Here, Tim Kleier goes over how you can evolve schemas to avoid breaking changes. freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-ha…

This week OpenAI is launching its custom GPT store, and I thought I would create a Code Translator just for fun. If you've got ChatGPT Plus, take it for a spin. It's configured to only return code (no explanatory text). chat.openai.com/g/g-ZfG6EMDmJ-…

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Explore DDD workshop on Designing Microservices with Chris Richardson. Great insights and practicals from Chris, and fun collaboration with fellow attendees! Explore DDD Conference #EDDD exploreddd.com/workshops/desi…

I got into software to solve business problems, but I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time solving technical problems in order to solve business problems. So I can only tolerate technical naval gazing for so long.

I think it's time to stop calling GenAI coding tools "junior developers". What junior developer do you know that can type thousands of words per minute or solve almost every Leetcode problem in seconds?

Question of the day: Are most Product Management tools actually Project Management tools instead?

"Good product discovery has a simple underlying structure: Start with an outcome, discover opportunities, discover solutions." - Teresa Torres bit.ly/3yFFLgp #prodmgmt #ux
