“The opposite of love is not hate– it’s indifference.” – Steven Pressfield. Megan approached me as soon as I left the stage. “Karin, I’m so with you on this not losing your soul thing… I resonated with everything you said… but for me it was the reverse. I wasn’t losing my soul at work, I was finding it.

I’ve been trying to learn Clojure. I keep telling people I meet that I really want to learn Clojure, but still every night I can’t get myself to spend time with it. It’s unclear if I really want to learn Clojure or just want to have learned Clojure? Which makes me thing about my teenage years. I really wanted to make music on my computer. I would spend a couple of hours per week messing around with various tools.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Unity is an excellent and straightforward tool to use for multi-platform development. Its principles are easy to understand, so programmers can start developing new products quickly and intuitively. However, if developers do not keep some important things in mind, development can slow down at crucial points, including when the project moves away from initial prototype or is approaching final release.

This is another installment of excerpts from my book manuscript of “More Human: A Journey To The Heart Of Great Leadership”. This excerpt tells two very contrasting stories about a job of leadership that is never, ever, easy – having to let people go. There’s an easy and expedient way, one without context or heart, and a more human way, that requires forethought, empathy, and intestinal fortitude.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

During the closing keynote of last week’s Association of Change Management Professionals conference in Dallas, shame and vulnerability researcher Brené Brown threw down a statement that made the audience take pause: “The #1 cause of shame at work is fear of irrelevance. The #1 cause of fear of irrelevance is change.” Dr. Brown defines shame as “the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging.

A few weeks ago I found an interesting article titled In Defense of JavaScript Classes. The article exposed some concerns about the class keyword in ES6 / TypeScript: These days it feels like everyone is attacking classes in JavaScript. Developers I respect say ES6 classes are a virus. We’ve compiled long lists on the reasons that ES6 classes are not awesome.

Unless you have a bit of a sociopathic tendency (and none of my readers do!), you probably don’t enjoy delivering bad news. It could be announcing that the quarterly numbers aren’t on target, letting someone know that they underperformed, admitting that you made a mistake or telling someone that they no longer have a job with your organization. Working up the courage and intestinal fortitude to do any of those things can be tough.

A topic appeared on Quora about the hardest bugs people have had to work with. This was mine. I spent years blaming compilers, libraries, SDKs, etc for my bugs only to find out it was my own fault. This ingrained in me the habit of always blaming myself first. That ended up hurting me with this one bug that did end up being a third party. Context: I inherited this major system where the original developer was no longer with the company.

Finding the Business Benefits of Intelligent Interconnects. It’s common knowledge that “the Internet” is actually a set of networks belonging to a diverse range of independent organizations such as content providers, ISPs, corporations, and universities. These networks create the Internet by interconnecting. Without these interconnections there would be no path for data originating in one network to travel to a destination in another network.

Facebook, LinkedIn, Amazon, PayPal, Yahoo, Google. We keep accounts with many of these websites. They and many others use email addresses as the first half of the classic username and password combo. They do this because email addresses are unique and double as a reasonably secure communication channel with the user. And of course we often sign-up for things online to receive information by entering our email address.

As a sysadmin, it can be difficult communicating with non-technical employees.
