Managers should not be insisting on a lot of Butt Time. To improve developer productivity, what you really want to foster is Brain Time.

Below is our recent interview with Vishal Joshi, the Founder and CTO at bipp Analytics: Q: Why you founded BIPP Inc.? A: We founded bipp to help organizations seamlessly derive insights from data to make informed decisions. Our driver was that everyone in an organization should base decisions on the same data and trust those […]

U.S. policymakers have spent trillions of dollars to mitigate the effects of Covid-19. But the answer to preventing the next pandemic altogether lies elsewhere.

The arc of institutions, including governments and corporations, particularly public ones, bends toward short-term thinking, bullying, anti-competitive behavior and laziness. The antidote is persis…

One of my readers wondered whether it makes sense to buy low-latency switches from Cisco or Juniper instead of switches based on merchant silicon like Trident-3 or Jericho (regardless of whether they are running NX-OS, Junos, EOS, or Linux). As always, the answer is it depends, but before getting into the details, let’s revisit what latency really is. We’ll start with a simple two-node network. The simplest possible network

As systems administrators know, there's a lot happening on modern computers. Applications run in the background, automated events wait to be triggered at a certain time, log files are written, status reports are delivered. Traditionally, these disparate processes have been managed and monitored with a collection of Unix tools to great effect and with great efficiency. However, modern computers are diverse, with local services running alongside containerized applications, easy access to clouds and the clusters they run on, real-time processes, and more data to process than ever.

When the personal computer was young, a household was likely to have one (or fewer) computers in it. Children played games on it during the day, and parents did accounting or programming or roamed through a BBS in the evening. Imagine a one-computer household today, though, and you can predict the conflict it would create. Everyone would want to use the computer at the same time, and there wouldn't be enough keyboard and mouse to go around.

Most people tend to take name services for granted. They are necessary to convert human-readable names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses, like 93.184.216.34. It is easier for humans to recognize and remember names than IP addresses, and name services allow us to use names, and they also convert them to IP addresses for us.

Some books are centripetal - they suck you in - and some books are centrifugal - they spin you out.

Containers are transforming software development. As the new foundation for CI/CD, containers give you a fast, flexible way to deploy apps, APIs, and microservices with the scalability and performance digital success depends on. But containers and container orchestration tools such as Kubernetes are also popular targets for hackers — and if they’re not protected effectively,…

Almost half of those surveyed last year by Synopsys believes media coverage has previously caused their organization to place more stringent controls on the use of open source. That was before the SolarWinds attack, so we already expected to see increased adoption. Now, the trend towards software composition analysis (SCA) may be about to accelerate.…

When you talk to an enterprise development team these days, there is a good chance they are in the midst of either migrating applications to the cloud or building a cloud native greenfield application. While there are many approaches to running those applications in the cloud, Kubernetes often comes to the forefront as the platform…

Frontend developers need to manage data for the apps they are building. For example, they may want to provide the delivery status of a customer’s order. So they need APIs that expose these constructs. Backend systems, on the other hand, typically expose APIs that reflect the shape of the data on the backend. For example,…

12 April 2021 - Open-source Deep Dive: Broadway (Part 1) - Message queues, concurrency in Elixir, and Broadway architecture - In this installment of Open-source Deep Dive, Broadway takes center stage! In part one, I uncover the mystery of message queues and concurrency in Elixir & demystify the intricate design behind the pipelines that Broadway creates. In part two, I inspect how certain key features of Broadway work like rate limiting and batching! This is the first part of this two-part article! Note that this post is purely for educational purposes, the information gathered from here should only be used in the context of integration testing for websites that are directly under your ownership.

But if that’s true, then why don’t we all agree on the right next step? It could be because everyone has a different experience, different data and different goals. Or, it could be that you are the…
