Do you need something to cheer you up? You got it: I should explain this costume a little bit. At the US Digital Service, we do a thing called “crab claws.” Crab claws is like visual applause–you pinch your fingers up and down to say “great job” or “congratulations” or “way to go.” We do […]

I saw this tweet about your chances of making it into the NFL so I wanted to run a similar chart of stats to see what it’s like to make it into the top echelons of the software industry.

What a bear the month of October has been for everyone. Fortunately for me the only effect I’ve had has just been numbers on a screen. I can still feed my family, I can still pay my bills, and I still have my job. I’m in everything for the long haul.

The most radical period of change in industrial history is nearly upon us. Technology is evolving faster than humanity is able to keep up with it. There is now a need for rapid, sustained and growing innovation in what the World Economic Forum has dubbed the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first industrial revolution brought in steam to mechanize power; the second brought in electricity to power mass production, and the third was the dawn..

Dynamic Programming is this topic that scares the crap out of everyone (myself included). This was one of those topics that took me a super long time to think about before it clicked. But I think I figured it out! My simple way of remembering Dynamic Programming is to think of iteration with memoization.

October was a pretty busy month for me. We bought a van . I’ve been hard at work on remodeling the master bathroom . And, of course, I’ve been busy helping my wife take care of our seven-month-year-old son .

VCs do everything you would expect the USSR would do, while being a private company. VC Financing projects without asking too many questions. Sometimes people refer to this as VC welfare . If a company puts the right combination of “disruptive”, “blockchain” and “AI” in their slides they receive funding. Showing some APIs, an app with users (real or fake) the money flows him. With no real technical evaluation. USSR Financing pr..

Sometimes, when I look back over the time I have spent working at trivago, I see how it changed my life and how lucky I have been to get the chance to work among this amazing community, to live and to learn with them. I look back and see a younger version of myself looking desperately for something different and, by just sheer luck, getting it.

I’m a Java programmer by trade, and, for whatever reason, I tend to think about edge-cases I might (or might not) encounter while programming (see my article Four Java Limitations You May Never Encounter ). One particular example I’ve been contemplating recently is if one null object equals another null object in Java.

If you remember from very early on in this article series we mentioned that designing algorithms requires both correctness and efficiency. For a certain set of problems, however, correctness is currently impossible.

Postgres has experienced a long and great run. It is over 20 years old and has a track record of being safe and reliable (which is the top thing I care about in a database). In recent years it has become more cool with things like JSONB , JIT support , and a powerful extension ecosystem. But, Postgres has made some mistakes along the way, the most notable being the name. Postgres gets its name from Ingress . Ingress was one of the fi....

As I’m sure you’ve now heard, Red Hat is being acquired by IBM . Reactions have ranged from: The first two emotions everyone experienced. to: The classic humourous response. to: The classy response. to: The thing we're all curious about. to everything in between. If someone were to leak me a copy of the memo-list 2018-October.txt.gz mailman archive, I’d sure love to see that! (Of course I’m joking and I wouldn’t act..

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Women in Technology Conference in Sydney, hosted by Maddox Events. As Thoughtworks was a sponsor of the event, it gave me an opportunity to meet technologists, marketers and even clients of Thoughtworks, all of whom were passionate about supporting women in tech. The best part of the whole event was when I saw 800 women fill the auditorium - and that is when I realised, the world is changing… and..
