Distributed systems brings uncertainty. Acknowledge it. Failure and incomplete information is a normal, not exceptional. Decide appropriate data quality.
It shouldn't be the first approach especially for greenfield projects. Ambiguities lies in the domain, don't help it further.

still working on the table of contents for the "debugging strategies" zine. what's missing? :)
ALT **table of contents** first steps: - preserve the crime scene - identify one small question - reproduce the bug - write a failing test - read the error message - reread the error message get organized: - brain dump - keep a log book - rule things out - draw a diagram investigate: - add lots of print statements - use a debugger - jump into a REPL - dig into confusing code - read the library's code - look at github issues - find a version that works simplify: - write a tiny program - comment out code - tidy up your code - find a workaround - reduce randomness get unstuck: - take a break - investigate bugs together - timebox your investigation - write a message asking for help improve your toolkit: - use a new spy tool - shorten your feedback loop - add extra logging - add pretty printing - add sounds - take a recording reflect: - tell a friend what you learned - find related bugs - add a comment

Front-end frameworks at its best.

X : Is wardley mapping a model, a framework or a tool?
Me : Hmmm ... to me, it's something that I find useful. I suppose it's a bit of all, an imperfect model which includes some frameworks and tools. What drives me is whether I find it useful or not.

Dr. Bu Abdullah meets Superstar Rajesh Hamal during his visit to Kathmandu in Nepal. He is a very humble person and it was lovely to meet him again. 🇳🇵🇦🇪

This 👇🏻 is really important and, to me, something we will be making "more and more normal" on how we should approach architecture and scale it...
Kudos to @al94781 for all the great ideas and @ruthmalan for making this even more visible (love these sketches!)

It has been happening every year for nearly 30 years.
This year, the Patterns Conference is free. All are welcome to attend any/all of the writing workshop and general sessions next week.
Different from regular conferences. Papers are workshopped to improve by a caring group
"Conference on Pattern Languages of Programming"
I never knew something like that even existed.

"Test Driven Development" is our natural way of working. We question, analyze and synthesize our understanding of the problem and generate code as an artifact as per need.
Insightful analysis and synthesis is difficult, hence many of us find TDD difficult.
11 Oct 2022
TDD does not take extra time. Writing tests _first_ is not overhead because they force you to think through the problem and partition it properly. You’d have to do that thinking anyway.
Testing after the fact IS overhead because you did all that thinking already.

Analysis: A method of understanding something by dividing it into parts and making sense of the parts.
Synthesis: Trying to understand something by considering its relationship to other things. Also the process of making a whole out of parts.

I posted a few of Deming's "14 points" (from "Out of the Crisis"; 1982) the other day. Pretty much all of these are relevant today in every software organization. Let's look at the whole list 👇 1/18

Well, it took 29 years, but I finally watched the original Jurassic Park, a cautionary tale about understaffing your engineering department and letting people push code directly to prod.

Helping people become as good as you are is a big part of _your_ job. Somebody always working alone, heads down, fingers to the keyboard, who can never be "interrupted" is a failure. 1/1

Sort stories by value. Implement in that order. The "Epic" is irrelevant.

The machines are already writing the code. Those machines are called compilers.
We, programmers, simply specify the solution in sufficient detail so that the machines can write the code.
Specifying the solution in sufficient detail will _always_ be a human endeavor.
