Anyone who built software for a while knows that estimating how long something is going to take is hard. It’s hard to come up with an unbiased estimate of how long something will take, when fundamentally the work in itself is about solving something. One pet theory I’ve had for a really long time, is that some of this is really just a statistical artifact.

With data increasingly vital to business success, business intelligence (BI) continues to grow in importance.

Any serious software system needs some form of observability, so we can figure out how it is working and keep track of problems. But adding the code for this often results in lots of low-level cruft. Pete Hodgson describes a pattern that allows developers to add observability via a testable domain-oriented API that removes most of this cruft.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

If you’re like me, you may have those moments where you’re at the terminal, hands hovering over your keyboard, and … nothing. I always seem to freeze up and probably rely too much on bash history.

One of the primary avenues for influencing change is to communicate, communicate, communicate.

You need managers throughout the organization to communicate change to demonstrate its importance and to make it more relevant for their teams.

JavaScript async/await has changed the landscape of how we code. We’re no longer stuck in callback or then hell, and our code can feel more “top down” again. Async functions require the following syntax: async function myFunction() { }. To use await with a function, the function needs to be declared with async. That got me to thinking: is it possible to detect if a function is asynchronous?

The 737 has been around for a half century, and over that time airplanes have evolved from manual controls to fly-by-wire systems. As each new generation of 737 appeared, the control system became more automated, but there was a concerted attempt to maintain the “feel” of the previous system so pilots did not have to adapt to dramatically different mental models of how to control a plane.
