When I was a kid, my dad had three guidelines he’d constantly remind me of. Now he and I can only remember two of them. So we remind each other to: 1) make eye contact, 2) be aware of what’s going on around you, and 3) that third thing.

How did reach a point where I have four computers in use sitting on my desk for a “normal” work day?

Start with a well-ordered monolith. Discover which parts of the system actually need to run as an external service. Your first guess on how to divide up your services is going to be wrong anyway. A well-ordered monolith can buy your team a whole lot of runway.

Make the implicit explicit, in whatever you’re doing. Everyone else involved might never notice, but their experience with you will be better for it.

I have two episodes of The Expanse left to go, and I’ve decided the best way to make it last as long as possible is….to read the books.

Had a dream last night I was running a @SpartanRace , in the dark, in my street clothes. Then I got lost on the course, went home to take a nap, came back to finish, couldn’t remember where I was on the course, had to start over - With a wheelbarrow of rocks. Woke up exhausted.

Somewhere between all this “web3”/NFT nonsense and the cargo culting around event sourcing and micro services, can we just get back to building simple software that actually does something useful for end users?

Estimating software development is silly. Stop doing it. Put a right-sized team together and get started. Build things that work and add value from day one. Release often. Keep adding value. Why is our industry plagued with these inane practices?

Cloud and SaaS are letting down small businesses and organizations. It costs too much and is too complicated for the typical SMB or non-profit organization to do what they need to do on a daily basis. It shouldn't be this hard.
