Product Managers are a hot commodity these days. Whether you are an industry behemoth or a fledgling up-start, talented Product Managers can make the difference between driving sustainable growth or fading out of memory and eventually going bust. The industry has recognized the value of this role and is aggressively trying to hire.

I’ve wanted a feature in Evolution for a while. It was formally requested in 2002 , and it just recently got fixed in git master . I only started publicly groaning about this missing feature in 2013 , and mcrha finally patched it. I tested the feature and found a small bug, mcrha patched that too , and I finally re-tested it. Now I’m blogging about this process so that you can get involved too! Why Evolution ? Evolution supports ....

During last year, I had the chance to work as CTO of a startup, working mainly within MEAN stack. I was happy, the technology I was working with was in a great hype and its community grew bigger and bigger with lots of projects popping up everywhere. But life is continuously changing, and I started to work in a new company within Java/JEE technologies. I was back to my first days as a professional computer engineer. Java ecosystem is hug....

An incredible video from a group of hunters who make no excuses for their chosen profession, but who also approach it with the extreme respect that nature deserves. I personally have never had a particularly strong desire to take up hunting, but hearing Donnie Vincent talk about nature with such reverence showed me a side of this lifestyle — for to call it a “sport” would be to do the lifestyle Donnie and his companions devoted themselves a..

Developaralysis is defined as "the crippling sense that the software industry is evolving so fast that no one person can possibly keep up." This results in otherwise accomplished developers freezing up when trying to make decisions about the best language / framework / cloud platform to use for their project. There is a cure and it involves ..

Scope is best defined as the most valuable product/functionality that can be delivered within the constraints of a project or a business. It is not an absolute entity like time or money. It is subject to interpretations, based on our own assumptions.

Selenium as a technology is now 10 years old. Thoughtworks is proud to have created and open-sourced what is now the defacto-standard for cross platform cross browser web-app functional testing. We’re also proud to have released it as open source for the greater good. In honor of its 10th birthday, we put together the below timeline. Here’s to another 10 successful years.

I’ve been moving further and further from the tech space lately, but this article still caught my eye from Aric Mitchell over at inStash. Here, Aric takes a short minute to chronicle his journey with Apple’s products, and then talk about the experiential side of the company’s latest desktop operating system, OS X Yosemite. This is by far and away the best piece of tech-focused writing I have read in quite some time. Permalink.

At some point during the debate, I argued that when a maintainer merges a pull request, he (or she) implicitly agrees on being responsi....

When I wrote Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, I coined what I called the First Law of Distributed Object Design: "don't distribute your objects". In recent months there's been a lot of interest in microservices, which has led a few people to ask whether microservices are in contravention to this law, and if so why I am in favor of them?

Although the number of shows in each issue varied from week to week, I like to think that the quality remained constant, along with my rate of publication: with the exception of a lengthy trip to Canada’s backwoods, I have not missed a single week.

A couple of days ago I read an interesting article by Pierre-Yves Ricau, an Android Software Engineer for Square, where he listed reasons for why Square has moved away from using Fragments in their Android products. In it he mentioned the ridiculous life cycle of Fragments, how it makes them at times hard to handle and even harder to test against. And I agree with him. Fragments are easy to use in smaller projects, but in my experience don’..

pMost modern web applications have a background processing subsystem. In other words, whenever something does not need to be done in the web request (i.e. sending a welcome email when a new user signs up), it can be queued up and processed later outside of the request-response cycle. This allows the web requests to be fast and responsive./p h2Anatomy of a Background Processing System/h2 pA background processing system usually consists of th....

It’s something we always say to ourselves before we begin to tackle a giant problem, “Let’s sketch it out.” And we do. But sometimes we lose sight of the beginning because we are so preoccupied with the end. This was the case when I worked on an amazing e-commerce platform with an even more amazing group of people a couple of years ago.

About a week ago an instructor at university was asking why most students did not try the step-by-step tutorials at home, or why they didn't at least read it. He then started a speech, trying to understand us and saying that we would not be able to enter the work world easily with this mindset, and asking students what they thought of it.

Honeypots are rad. Their uses are varied, but I've used my own mostly for research (and entertainment.) It's been running for over a year now, and I thought it would be worthwhile (and interesting) to summarize my findings. This honeypot is running on one of my non-critical servers with relatively minimal exposure, so the findings contained herein could be considered a good snapshot of internet background noise – no particular reason ....

Apple just announced they will mandate 64 bit for all new submissions starting February 2015, luckily we are very prepared for that and we already support 64 bit builds in our new VM. This is a huge triumph for the architecture of our new VM which is very resilient to changes Apple might make in the future thanks to its pure C architecture. Our old XMLVM based approach is limited in that regard since it relies on the Boehm garbage collect..

Most (all?) programming languages write assignment with the destination variable on the left hand side, i.e. a = b+c;
Therefore most (all?) programmers are familiar with the destination for an operation being on the left hand side. Therefore, I think, when designing functions or commands doing copying or assignment, the result should also be on the left hand side. Example: memcpy in C. Counter-example (which confuses me): Array.cop..

Practicing Hypothesis-Driven Development is thinking about the development of new ideas, products and services – even organizational change – as a series of experiments to determine whether an expected outcome will be achieved. The process is iterated upon until a desirable outcome is obtained or the idea is determined to be not viable.

We last explained some of the concepts behind the EDT in 2008 so it’s high time we wrote about it again, there is a section about it in the developer guide as well as in the courses on Udemy but since this is the most important thing to understand in Codename One it bears repeating. One of the nice things about the EDT is that many of the concepts within it are similar to the concepts in pretty much every other GUI environment (Swing/FX, ..

HackerEarth infrastructure is hosted on Amazon services. At any given point of time many webservers are running concurrently serving thousands of requests. This generates tons of access and error logs on each server separately. The task here was to parse the logs on all these webservers and store them at one place in a format that can further be used to derive meaningful insights from the data. We tried to accomplish this using fluentd and....
