Thoughts on organizing architecture

Xebia

No long debates with other engineers about the envisioned solution. Value-stream teams have been given more autonomy and possibilities to select, purchase and integrate hardware and software. This could be a principal engineer or assigned to a group of people, e.g. the product engineering team.

Mastering Hardware: My Nand2Tetris Journey Begins

Xebia

His death was a loss to the computer industry as he was considered one of the last people who truly understood hardware and software at a fundamental level. As such, I have always tried to be interested in learning more about hardware, but often lacked the time to get into it—that and not having an idea of where to start.

How to Save Time and Money by Testing Spark Locally

Xebia

Data Engineers were tempted by the pressure of the moment to give up on testing all together. Nevertheless, Data Engineers started to suffer from repetitive work, having to wait for the data to be loaded, or for the output to be validated. In many cases, these tasks ended up on the shoulders of the Data Engineers themselves.

Article: Using Machine Learning for Fast Test Feedback to Developers and Test Suite Optimization

InfoQ Culture Methods

Test suites may be computationally expensive, compete with each other for available hardware, or simply be so large as to cause considerable delay until their results are available. Software testing, especially in large scale projects, is a time intensive process.

A Commitment to Diversity: Reflections on GHC

LaunchDarkly

It seems every week there is an article or blog post decrying the lack of women and people of color in software engineering, or on the other side defending the gap. At LaunchDarkly I have experienced similar intellectual honesty, one of the many facets of our outstanding engineering culture.

Build cloud infrastructure from your CI pipeline with Pulumi

CircleCI

Now we rely on others to manage massive data centers where we borrow small slices of virtual space on shared hardware, traveling over shared networks, all in a system we call the cloud. Managing that interaction with the cloud is part of what cloud engineering is all about.
