My hope was that at least a few folks would be brave enough to publicly tell about their GTY experiences–the highs and the lows–so we could all learn and benefit from one another’s successe

Startup CTO or Developer

SoCal CTO

I’ve been having discussions with several people recently about the role of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in very early stage companies. In December 2007, I described how I commonly take on an Acting CTO Role in a Start-up. I used an image from Roger Smith that describes the varying roles of a CTO as the company matures. However, I’ve now begun questioning how and what an early-stage / startup CTO should be.

A Case for Orthogonality in Design

Ruminations of a Programmer

In Learning, using and designing command paradigms , John M Carroll introduces the notion of lexical congruence. When you design a language, one of the things that you do is lexicalization of the domain. If we extrapolate the concept to software designs in general, we go through the same process with our domain model. We identify artifacts or lexemes and choose to name them appropriately so that the names are congruent with the semantics of the domain.

Is Google to IBM as Apple is to Apple?

The Agile Manager

In the late 1970s, the microcomputer industry was still in its emergent stages. Microcomputers weren’t nearly as powerful as mainframe and minicomputers. There also wasn’t clearly a “killer app” for them. But at the time, it was obvious that microcomputers were going to have a significant impact on our lives.

The Equation of Software Design

Code Simplicity

So today I was playing around with a little equation that may in fact explain nearly all of the principles of software design. I don’t know that it’s actually mathematically solvable in terms of numbers, but it does demonstrate the factors present in software development decisions and how they relate to each other. Before I go into the equation, though, I have to define the factors that are present when a designer is deciding whether or not to implement something, or how to implement

"My real position is this: 100% pure functional programing doesn't work. Even 98% pure functional programming doesn't work. But if the slider between functional purity and 1980s BASIC-style imperative messiness is kicked down a few notches--say to 85%--then it really does work.
