In today’s hyperconnected world, innovation happens pretty fast. For a technologist, whatever your specialism, there’s always something new to discover; a new tool that looks promising, maybe a technique that piques your interest. But, given the variety and pace of innovation, how do you know what to follow up on? How can you predict which innovations will be worthwhile and which will become a time sink?

Twice a year we create the Thoughtworks Technology Radar, an opinionated look at what’s happening in the enterprise tech world. We cover tools, techniques, languages, and platforms and we generally call out over one hundred individual ‘blips’. Along with this detail we write about a handful of overarching ‘themes’ that can help a reader see the forest for the trees, and in this piece, I try to capture not just Radar themes, but wider trends..

I’ve been pretty busy over the past few weeks and didn’t get a chance to write a “what’s new” post. This caused a huge backlog of new features which I’ll try to cut down in this post. UI Validation This is a feature that’s coming in the Friday update. Component inspector has a new “Validate” button that checks the UI for common mistakes. Right now it only checks for nested scrollables on the Y axis but ideally we should include additional..

How the Wrong Architecture Can Cripple Development A couple of years ago, I was working on a side project with a few friends. We thought that it would be the next big thing. We put our collective best efforts into it; I worked long, hard hours fleshing out the scaffolding of the perfect architecture. Little did I know that my effort would doom the project to join the abyss of failed projects as quickly as it had begun. We had the best ....

Introduction Concurrent programming allows developers to solve problems using more than one path of execution and is often used in an attempt to improve performance. Concurrency doesn’t mean these multiple paths are executing in parallel; it means these paths are executing out-of-order instead of sequentially. Historically, this type of programming is facilitated using libraries that are either provided by a standard library or from 3rd pa..

Apple introduced push notification at a time when iOS apps didn’t support multi-tasking. It was used as an intrusive notification system that allowed an app to communicate it had something important to tell you. Back then push messages would trigger a dialog box as it predated the pull down notification tray pioneered by Android. The purpose of push on iOS is visual notification. You can send non-visual meta-data but that’s almost an afte..

Recently we had a bit of an incident with our hot water heater… The tank began leaking. Thankfully it was still under warranty and we got another one for only the cost of labor. Afterward, we ran into another problem. Our dishes began having a cloudy white film on them, and after boiling water (say, for spaghetti) the pot would also have a line of the cloudy white film.

It's been roughly 5 months since my mu4e email migration . Happy with my choice. Mu4e is awesome. I now have 4 email accounts managed by mu4e, and unfortunately receiving lots of junk mail. I regularly peek at junk folders for false positives and delete junk email permanently. I've been wanting a quick way to glance at junk mail and easily delete page by page. Deleting emails page by page is not supported in mu4e by default. Fortu....

When I delivered my Advanced Oracle SQL Tuning training last week, I jumped into a free-form demo to show that the PARALLEL hints don’t really force anything other than adjusting the cost of parallelizable operations for CBO evaluation as usual. If a serial plan (or branch) still has a lower cost than the respective parallel processing cost, then serial execution would be used there. But when demoing this, I got a surprise.

Last time we covered a bunch of examples utilizing dynamic programming. Again, I recommend you check out that article first before you check this one out otherwise you’re not really gaining too much. Today we will be concluding our section on dynamic programming by discussing its limitations and when not to use it as a strategy.

I never would have imagined I would be a part of such an amazing place. Being able to work on technology and help make cartoons kids all of the world love has been awesome. After four and a half years it’s time to say goodbye to friends and co-workers who have taught me so much! I’m thankful for how this place has changed me and the world through our stories and art.
