This means that in the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem 2023, 90% of those who write documentation don’t call themselves technical writers, which raises questions about collaboration between teams, documentation quality and consistency, and the role of technical writers."

I'm not sure whether this is one of them "hot take" things, but I think that #Fediverse server software should be designed to be a simple as possible to install, configure & maintain, but scalable as required. Enterprise level scalability shouldn't be the default out of the box. Somehow, modern services can be more fiddly to manage than forums, IRC daemons etc... from 20 years ago.

#TechnicalWriting #APIs #APIDocumentation #SoftwareDevelopment #UserResearch: Consider longer, consolidated articles when organizing content, as these offer advantages over segmented and fragmented content.

Longer articles facilitate page search, something developers are used to using in one-page API reference sites, reducing the chance of navigation issues. Longer pages allow readers to follow a logical flow and grasp the complete concept. With effective headings and subheadings, it’s easy to locate specific sections without extensive jumping between pages.

There’s nothing wrong with fragmentation per se; it’s just good practice to be conscious of how you split related topics to ensure it is clear how they are connected and avoid fragmentation if it is not necessary.”

Somehow, whenever I write Rust, I feel like it's not really for me. I always spend so much time dealing with Rust logic, and so little time on actually writing the code I want.

I can understand how it suits a lot of people to have an extremely clear visualization of the path their code takes when it runs, but I prefer to write less code, even in that means sacrificing performance.

I’m seeing projects that can easily be managed by 2-3 people, but because of lust for growth and unnecessary complexity, 10 or more ppl end up stepping on each other’s toes.

Upside: you end up creating 8 more jobs per project.

Downside: Are you actually building anything?

I used to live in a world where a pair of folks could launch a decent web app within a week or so. Modern software development gets me tired and demotivated before I’ve even started.

When I was living in Paris, I had a developer tell me that when she was living in London, she furious with me at the time. Seems she inherited one of my old code bases and it was awful.

Then she found a huge comment of mine apologizing for the mess due to the size of the problem and the time pressure of me leaving. Once she saw that, all was forgiven.

If you're writing bad code and you know it, leave comments and explain why. Everyone after will sympathize.

#SoftwareDevelopment #Programming #AI #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT #Automation: "Computing is not yet overcome. GPT-4 is impressive, but a layperson can’t wield it the way a programmer can. I still feel secure in my profession. In fact, I feel somewhat more secure than before. As software gets easier to make, it’ll proliferate; programmers will be tasked with its design, its configuration, and its maintenance. And though I’ve always found the fiddly parts of programming the most calming, and the most essential, I’m not especially good at them. I’ve failed many classic coding interview tests of the kind you find at Big Tech companies. The thing I’m relatively good at is knowing what’s worth building, what users like, how to communicate both technically and humanely. A friend of mine has called this A.I. moment “the revenge of the so-so programmer.” As coding per se begins to matter less, maybe softer skills will shine."

What is “the identity problem"?

How does a website get a name? How does a website get a certificate? How does a browser know who to trust to sign certificates? How does a human know the name of a website? How does a human acquire a unique name and prove they own that name?

Surprisingly, there are issues with all these aspects as deployed today. As with most security problems, some people propose “#blockchain” as being “the solution”.

I’ve been thinking for a while about what makes me #softwaredevelopment difficult for many people, and why I originally had trouble getting started with #programming. And I think I’ve figured it out.

It’s a mix of the following things:

1. Code is unforgiving compared to most things. If there’s an error, you know quickly, and there’s no room for compromise.

2. Keeping a large program in your head is hard, as is structuring it in a way you can break it down easily…

Today I learned about Brooks’s Law, “…an observation about #software #ProjectManagement according to which adding more individuals to a software project that is behind schedule delays it even longer.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks%27s_law

The graphics here nicely illustrate the cost of #communication overhead. Grow the team incrementally, communication overhead grows quadratically, reducing time for “real” work.

https://www.leadingagile.com/2018/02/lines-of-communication-team-size-applying-brooks-law/

This doesn’t just apply to #SoftwareDevelopment! 😅

Graphical illustration of Brooks’s Law, showing a number of figures. The first figure shows 3 dots (people) connected by 3 lines. Each subsequent figure shows one more dot (person) added to the shape, with new lines connecting all the dots in that figure. For example, 4 people and 6 lines, or 5 people and 10 lines, 6 people and 15 lines… all the way to 14 people and 91 lines!

Turns out that actually doing a thing matters.

Doctors know this. Pilots know this.

So do patent attorneys and basketball players and pianists, mixed martial artists, sculptors, sushi chefs, and so many many more fields know this.

Only in #softwaredevelopment do we elevate someone to a higher technical role and expect them to stop doing the thing that got them to that level.

Doing something makes you right.
