In the world of software engineering, the term Bus Factor refers to the number of people on your team that have to get hit by a bus for your project to collapse: The bus factor is a measurement of the risk resulting from information and capabilities not being shared among team members, derived from the phrase "in case they get hit by a bus." It is also known as the bread truck scenario, lottery factor, truck factor, bus/truck number, ....

So as of about 12 hours a new version of https://searchcode.com/ has been rolled out. It marks the biggest update to the site in over 4 years since I moved over to version 3 which you can read about https://boyter.org/2016/07/searchcode-com-architecture-migration-3-0/ The reason for it was that searchcode has always been something I kept running as a showpiece. It’s something that I can point to publicly and say “I did that”. The idea..

One of my most fascinating work experiences was going through the spokesperson certification process at a large tech co. This isn’t some rubber stamp virtual training to not use profanity on stage type training. This is the training they would give to any executive before you were greenlit to talk to press. When I say press I mean Techcrunch, but also Bloomberg, or Jim Cramer, or any major big brand news outlet. As a product manager over ....

I’ve worked at four marketplace startups in my relatively short career. I do at least have enough experience on how I’ve seen successful (and unsuccessful) companies scale their engineering organizations for marketplaces. There is a unique problem of scale that only happens with marketplace startups and it is worth addressing as a post. If you are an engineering leader for a growing marketplace startup, here are a few tips to handle team gr..

I recently read a post on the habits of high-functioning teams with a great discussion over on HackerNews. One person, in particular, wondered if you could apply these concepts on to dysfunctional teams and turn them around. Since I’ve have the opportunity to turn around teams before I thought I would weigh in on this question with each habit.

From Paul Rascagneres and Vitor Ventura at Cisco Talos Intelligence: “Our tests showed that — on average — we achieved an ~80 percent success rate while using the fake fingerprints, where the sensors were bypassed at least once. ... The results show fingerprints are good enough to protect the average person’s privacy if they lose their phone. However, a person that is likely to be targeted by a well-funded and motivated actor should not..

It’s been 2 years working remotely as a Software Engineer at NextRoll, a tech company in Silicon Valley. When I started the journey to find a new job, I’ve never aimed to be working in the U.S. center of innovative technology companies. I didn’t think I could be the first Latina working remotely in one of these companies either. I was simply motivated to be open to new challenges. 25 minute read “What if?” Since the beginning of my car....

As I read Tomas Petricek’s On architecture, urban planning and software construction , it reminded me of an interesting point Dan Luu made in How (some) good corporate engineering blogs are written : “There’s a dearth of real, in-depth, technical writing, which makes any half decent, honest, public writing about technical work interesting.” Tomas’ piece reminded me of this not because it lacks substance, but rather for the opposite re....

mu/mu4e 1.4 is out . About a week ago, I built and installed its pre-release version (1.3.10) and noted build steps on macOS . It's been working great for me. Today, I updated to 1.4. I was keen to try the new release out. I had been experiencing a short delay immediately after syncing/indexing mail. An initial investigation pointed to contact syncing, but I didn't dig further. The 1.4 release notes had a promising entry: In many c....

Doing the nand2tetris course is an extremely enlightning experience into the world of computers. The course starts from the simplest building block, the “NAND” operators and helps you step by step to building a modern, functioning computer, OS and tetris Game. The NAnd block stands for Not And. It takes two binary inputs, A and B and outputs true only if they both aren’t true. A B Output 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 To d..

I am unsure if my love of automation comes from a dislike of doing the same thing twice or an overall desire to be more productive and make everything more efficient. Like a lot of programmers, I often ask myself “can this be scripted” when I find myself doing a manual task. I was inspired recently by reading Wolfram’s writing on his personal infrastructure for productivity 1 . I, too, have written about my personal infrastructure 2 ,....
