Misc dev advice …
- How is computer programming different today than 20 years ago? – Sedat Kapanoglu
Here are some changes I have noticed over the last 20 years, in random order.
- Things I Believe About Software Engineering – Wesley Aptekar-Cassels
How kind your teammates are has a larger impact on your effectiveness than the programming language you use.
- The Zen of Code Reviews: Review As If You Own the Code – Michael Sorens
Whoever signs off on a code review agrees, essentially, that they would be able to support it in the future, should the original author of the code be unavailable to do it. Review code with the energy you’d use if you owned the code.
- Ten Platform Commandments – Charity Majors
I talked about a bunch of the lessons learned by using and abusing and running and building platforms at scale.
- So you want to Onboard a DevOps Practitioner – Martin Jackson
Bad environments (and broken cultures) do not attract nor retain top talent. In fact it does the opposite.
- Akin’s Laws of Spacecraft Design – Dave Akin
These are some bits of wisdom that I have gleaned during that time, some by picking up on the experience of others, but mostly by screwing up myself.
- Empirical Evaluation Guidelines
The programming languages research community often develops ideas whose worth is evaluated empirically.
