I’m in Paris today after an uneventful trip over the weekend. Yesterday, I got to walk around all afternoon, which was fun and exhausting. Tomorrow, I’m speaking at a local event. Enjoy the links below!
[blog] Notes on Teaching Test Driven Development. Some good commentary here on TDD, especially the reminder that the goal of your test suite isn’t too reveal if code is perfect or not (with 100% coverage!), but whether your code is ready to ship.
[blog] Why You Should Advertise Your “Tech Debt.” No one wants to work on “tech debt” when it’s positioned as such. No, think about the desired outcome you’re after, and prioritize it that way!
[blog] To Build Value in Tech, Build Different. It’s not easy to win (in business) by simply being “better.” Rather, look at being “different.”
[blog] What I Have Changed My Mind About in Software Development. I’d be willing to bet that you’ve changed your mind on at least one of these, too. I certainly have.
[blog] Bun hype. How we learned nothing from Yarn. Good contrarian take on all the excitement over Bun, the JavaScript runtime. Specifically, it touches on the point made above that “better” is a short-lived advantage in most cases.
[blog] GenAI isn’t just eating software, it’s dining on the future of work. Interesting predictions here.
[blog] Applying Generative AI to product design with BigQuery DataFrames. Fun example of using generative AI to generate some product names for pharmaceutical drugs.
