3 Tips For Building Better Software, Faster.

2/17/2020

During my time working as an engineer and software consultant I've been on some brilliant teams that were able to build incredible things in a very short amount of time. I've also been on teams that are, ehh, not so agile... Indeed, when I look up Google's definition for the word agile right now the first entry is, "able to move quickly and easily".

Although there are many flavors of
agile development that all emphasize slightly different concerns, in this article I'd like to discuss three things that I consistently see done by the top software teams. I believe that any engineering team not already practicing these three things can get an immediate productivity boost by implementing them well.

​So without further ado, let's get into it!

This is something that often trips up newcomers to Go who are familiar with JavaScript. I think it's pretty fascinating to notice whether different programming languages decide to do things in different ways, and it's interesting that the concept of "constants" is so different in Go Lang and JavaScript. has an extremely strict definition

Explicitly & Automatically Set Your Project's Node Version

10/21/2019

0 Comments

 
It's crazy that 12.13.0 is now the latest long term support version of nodejs! At work today we discovered that when we all boot up a new terminal shell and run "node -v" to get the current node version, we would all get a different number! One person was on 12.13, one was on 11.15, one was on 10.something, and one guy was even using v6.4! We had to do  something about this madness
