The move to innovate at speed and scale is stressing software quality and exposing the limitations of testing. Don’t get me wrong – testing in all its forms is inseparable from the software delivery supply chain. Tests and static analysis are essential to software development pipelines, and this holds true for both traditional and cloud-native applications.

Let’s consider a toy model where you’re hiring for two things and that those are equally valuable. It’s not very important what those are, so let’s just call them “thing A” and “thing B” for now. For one set of abilities, the scatter plot looks like this: The assumption here is that A and B are drawn from a 2D-Gaussian with a mild positive correlation.

Over the last few months, my colleague Unmesh Joshi has been running workshops to teach developers about distributed systems design. In this work he's been delving into many open-source distributed systems and identifying patterns. As he writes them up, he's publishing the patterns on my site. Today he's publishing an initial narrative article that ties the first batch of patterns together, and two of these patterns: Heartbeat and Generation Clock.

I really enjoyed reading Artificial Intelligence – A Guide for Thinking Humans by Melanie Mitchell. The author is a professor of computer science and an artificial intelligence (AI) researcher. The book is her attempt at working out if the singularity is near (or at least likely), or if we still are far from creating any true intelligence. In the process, the reader gets an excellent overview of the state of the art in areas such as image recognition, game play, and natural language proces

The students, who want to enter into the computer education world, are always confused to choose between Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) and it is not unusual to ask for a student because Computer Science and Information Technology may seem like the same thing and many people got confused with the differences between both. From a career perspective, each of these disciplines demands a different set of skills and a different kind of attitude.

In my conversations with software developers, a regular topic of controversy is how manage source code branching. Tools like git make it easy to create branches, but managing them to improve coordination and minimize the costs of integration unearths plenty of difficulties. I find it useful to think of the trade-offs around branching as a series of patterns, and have spent the last couple of months writing these patterns into a coherent shape.
