After six years in the field, Chris has shared his strong opinions on software development practices, languages, and methodologies. I like his attitude. Willingness to continuously put one’s personal views under scrutiny, eventually adapting or even changing them as needed, is not a common trait. Not in our field. While I generally agree with most of his opinions, I feel the urge to comment on a few of them. Typed languages are better..

We’re intentional about hiring at Thoughtworks. We’re so intentional, in fact, that we made an entire program dedicated to it—Joy of Interviewing, or JOI for short—and everyone involved with interviewing goes through it. We strongly believe that interviewing can be equal parts challenging and enjoyable. Instead of selecting talent solely based on where they went to school or the type of degree they have, we instead hire for aptitude and wil..

As a non-native English reader, I had to look up the true meaning of “Unbundling” as a neologism. According to Wikipedia Unbundling is a neologism to describe how the ubiquity of mobile devices, Internet connectivity, consumer web technologies, social media and information access in the 21st century is affecting older institutions (education, broadcasting, newspapers, games, shopping, etc.) by “break[ing] up the packages they once offer..

This post applies the gamma effect size to practical case studies comparing performance distributions across quantiles. In Pragmastat, Disparity formalizes this as a robust Cohen’s d analogue normalized by pooled Spread . Confidence intervals are available via DisparityBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat There are several ways to describe the difference between two distributions. Here are a few examp..

Gartner’s hype cycle methodology shows the evolution of technology trends over time so businesses can use this to consider their innovation strategies for achieving business goals. One such top strategic technological trend from Gartner is “Hyperautomation” - or the augmentation of intelligence to automation of tasks. Extending on this principle of hyper automation, I would further define “Hyperagility” as the appending of smart intelligent..

Having your own blog is a very interesting experiment. Like any other project it will teach you something. Your writing skills will improve (that’s an assumption but it’s difficult not to improve if you do it regularly). If you’re not writing in your native language, you’ll improve in the language you do write in. You’ll notice holes in your understanding of the subject you’re describing. You’ll draw attention of others to your work and, ho..

The chances that you’ve seen the statue or a piece of art depicting Atlas, the muscled Titan of Greek mythology holding up the celestial heavens on his shoulder are quite high. However, the chances that you drew a parallel between this image and the role of a woman - at home, at work and in her many avatars as daughter, mother, caregiver, breadwinner, cook, grandmother, friend, confidant and more are probably lesser.
