Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

CodeSOD: A Fairly Generic Comparison to Make

The Daily WTF

Some languages support operator overloading. Others, like Java, do not. There are good arguments on either side for whether or not you should support the feature, but when you don't, you need an easy way to get the effects of operators without the syntactic sugar. For example, if you have a custom class, and you need a way to perform comparisons on them, you may choose to implement the Comparator interface.

Self-describing Names

The Programmer's Paradox

If you are trying to keep track of an X in a system and you name any variable that holds information about it as X then your intent it’s really obvious. If you call the variable that holds the data something like ‘foorbarizilla’ then you’ve intentionally misnamed that data in the system. If it’s foobarInfo or foobarData, that isn’t any better. Nor is xFactory, prj1_X or ptrX.

Why Organizations Should Not Stop Skill Assessment Post Hiring

Hacker Earth Developers Blog

According to a slightly dated but still relevant research , top performers are 400% more productive than average workers in an organization.

Simple code: Version control commits

Dzone - DevOps

Currently the most popular version control system is git and I'll be writing this based on git and it's functionalities and capabilities. Git is often seen as a way to enable distributed programming i.e. multiple programmers can work on the same code repository quite easily without disturbing each others work (much). In addition to that just like other VCS's it's also a log of work but to my experience that part is often unfortunately neglected.
