With me being on the job market, I've been brushing up a bit on C#. I mean, I love the language, and many jobs are calling for it. All I can say is WOW, they have done a lot to it over the last 6 years. Quite impressive, and I love the fact you can cross-compile .NET core to other platforms! #C# #softwareengineering #codingforfunandprofit
Don't you love doing a major version upgrade of a dependency, where it has replaced one of its core features, and the migration guide is woefully lacking in detail.
"This is a Web Component, but doesn't use Shadow DOM, Stencil, or any library. In fact, it doesn't render anything to the DOM at all. Rather, it's just distributed as a Custom Element to make for easy integration with just a script tag and some HTML; just like the good old days."
One of the more creative applications of web components around, using the encapsulation to store logic instead of presentation.

Mirroring.
Explain what you understood. Repeat in your words what he or she said. You can also sketch on a whiteboard/flip chart with simple symbols. Or you can do the task step by step.
This allows your peer to review and correct you.

Misunderstanding is part of understanding.
Unfortunately, if you do not recognize it, you build something expensive into your software that is not needed. In the best case, you still have a benefit. At worst, you have to start from scratch.

We learned the business. We gained users, feedback, and experience. This led to new requirements — both functional and non-functional.
Fortunately, we were able to build on our success.
But to stay successful, we had to change the software.
And you may need to as well. This is true iterative-incremental development.

Ever felt like you did something wrong when you had to significantly improve your software?
I certainly did.
We had built a first version of the product. It solved our customers' problems. It created a business. It was paying our salaries and our bills.
The feeling was wrong, not our work!
The software was a success. Success changed perspective.

"Sometimes – if you value keeping things simple – teasing apart behavior and presentation into composable pieces makes more sense."
It struck me earlier today that we use the word "server" both for "computer fulfilling remote requests" and "person handling orders in a restaurant". Then it occurred to me that they have many similarities:
* Unpredictable delay between request and response.
* Sometimes fail to work for no clear reason.
* Other jobs often interfere with availability.
* Memory issues can make service unusable.
* Poor prioritization strategies result in client starvation.

What is your favorite tool for making software diagrams?
What diagrams do you turn to?
I often find myself using sequence diagrams in https://mermaid.live/ to help myself think through things
There is no single way to do things, there are things that make sense, and there are things that don’t. Also, there are things that don’t make sense until you know the context. Don’t criticize decisions or enforce one single “proper” way without learning why it was done in that specific way.
It really doesn't fill me with optimism that a programmer's job in the next decade will literally be to act as a proofreader and corrector for code that a prompt engineer gave to a large language model. #AI. #softwareengineering #pessimism.

"UX Engineer, a terminal career" by @donnie https://blog.damato.design/posts/terminal-career/
Agile software development is not Scrum, Kanban, or XP.
Agile software development is not the maintenance of a backlog, the existence of a definition of done, or the performance of a ceremony.
Agile software development is not about working through features as quickly as possible, nor is it about rejecting the reality of necessities.
Agile software development is about continuously working on the software, the process, the team, and yourself. It is a value-based attitude coupled with a learning process.

#PHP #ReactJS #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareDevelopment #StranglerFig
Didn't proofread a work email today. I apparently advised my colleagues to look at related technology in languages such as Darg and Katlin. 🤦
Familiar with DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), I've heard of WET (Write Every Time), and now DAMP (Descriptive and Meaningful Phrases).
I now propose all software should be: MOIST

Great moments in software engineering
Valinor, circa YT 1400: The elven software engineer Fëanor attempts to create Noldix, a new Linux distro built on the Palantiri network stack. Ultimately, the failure of the Unicode committee to approve a Tengwar code space dooms the project. Embittered, Fëanor refuses to release his Silmaril project under an open source license, leading to the First Kinforking and much of the misery of the First Age.

Feel like you’re drowning in “technical debt?” Do your applications get harder to change over time? You may be dealing with hasty abstractions. I’ve written about this phenomenon.
"we don't have managers on our team" is SUCH a red flag
read: "we don't want to pay someone to do the hardest part, so we expect you to do it with no pay raise."
it's even worse than "unlimited vacation"

I've been building software for over 25 years and I've never seen a team that was underperforming with clear guidance about what they were supposed to be building. The bottleneck is always management; when programmers have their work already cut out, and communicated to them, they ALWAYS get it done.

GraphQL is the solution to the problem statement, “10% of my queries don’t fit at all into well designed REST endpoint models”
REST is the solution to the problem statement, “I have to write four times as much code to do the same thing with GraphQL and use browser plugins to decipher whether my call threw an error or not”
I know that once I feel confident with this style of writing, I will be able to bring some of my original voice back. For now, I'm learning a lot by comparing this to my raw draft.

I provided transcripts because anything else is just way too abstract.
Most of the article is straight from the LLM (of course, I did *significant* work on writing my draft, iterating on structure, creating and refining writing rhythm, content, hooks).
But for this type of technical content, I really like the clarity.
Apparently popen won't take 65k long command lines on Windows.
Don't ask me how I know.
The mind of a software engineer has two edges; one with which we interpret incomprehensible systems to wield them, and the other which makes us unable to empathize with users who must also comprehend these systems.
