Because I’ve been sitting in 100,000,000 meetings where people endlessly debate whether the monthly number of widgets is going up or down, or whether widget method X is more productive than widget method Y.

If Dev and Ops are one team, why don’t they share the same data? Everyone in tech is busy discussing Kubernetes, containers, and microservices as if the basics of DevOps and continuous delivery are all figured out. In practice, the classic blame game between dev and ops is still alive and kicking. We might be nicer to each other now with a common sense of shared ownership, but those niceties often hide the obstacles that are making it hard for engineers to move forward faster.

The two positions are not interchangeable—and misperceptions of their roles can hurt teams and compromise productivity. It’s important to understand the differences between a data engineer and a data scientist. Misunderstanding or not knowing these differences are making teams fail or underperform with big data. A key misunderstanding is the strengths and weaknesses of each position.

Do you have any files on your computer called something like DocFinalFinalFinal1_2.pdf ? If you do, then you probably already understand the basic value of version control. By saving each version as a new “final” version, rather than overwriting the previous final version, you can not only distinguish between different versions of the same document, but ensure that previous versions aren’t lost forever.

This is a bit of a rant but I really don’t like software that invents its own query language. There’s a trillion different ORMs out there. Another trillion databases with their own query language. Another trillion SaaS products where the only way to query is to learn some random query DSL they made up. I just want my SQL back. It’s a language everyone understands, it’s been around since the seventies, and it’s reasonably standardized.

AngularJS 1.x is more stable and mature and while Angular 2+ has taken off, there are many projects still using AngularJS. It still makes sense for web developers to learn AngularJS. In a few years that may change, but for now, AngularJS 1.x is still a viable alternative to React, Angular 2+, Vue.js and Ember and other frontend web frameworks. If you’re interested in other Angular and AngularJS resources, check out the Learning AngularJS page.

I currently do other stuff now , and I have since 2012, but if I will be known for anything when I'm dead, clearly it is going to be good old Stack Overflow.
