When faced with a complex problem, be sure you can write down the Objective, Strategy, Tactics, and Measurements. Most people only focus on the tactics, which limits impact.

Asked what I see as my job as a manager, it's this: Set a higher standard for those I'm responsible for, materially demonstrate that standard, make corrections to work that is not consistent with the standard, and lead the collective in realizing yet higher and further standards.

@firstprimate It's the difference between sloppy nature of hacking and the exacting nature of engineering. That all software developers now insist that they be addressed as "engineer" is indicative of yet another failing of character.

@firstprimate In terms of industrial theory, it's code as blue collar labor rather than code as white collar professionalism. That bifurcation is an expected property of any industrial sector. That software development doesn't yet recognize it suggests that it's not yet an industry, per se.

I think maybe we should act as if no one ever thought of this before, start a new project, make the same mistakes again, and pretend we invented it.

Oh my, my, my. As a recovering C# developer, I fell into the "Iterable is not lazy" trap with Scala, and now yet again with Kotlin. soundtrack: youtube.com/watch?v=z81IL8…

Thinking about the Hertz/Accenture débâcle. Has there ever been a successful large-scale digital transformation led and executed by an outside vendor?

Re: The application composing/building/evolving conversation: The application design I’m developing does not have a DSL. It divides an interactive application into two parts. The user-facing part specifies interaction without code: melconway.com/talks/2019_con… cc: @mamund @Crell 1/5
