A while ago I made an interactive demonstration of how encoding with factoradic works https://ilcavero.github.io/ seems like I found someone else who thought it was a fun thing to demo
In my organization AppDynamics' reputation couldn't be worse, they could never deliver on their promises even after months of consultancy, never ending back and forth with support to fix what ended up being a network issue on their side, in the case of my team they caused 2 P1 production incidents with their buggy agents. And that's without mentioning their slow UI. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, we hacked together in a few weeks a solution with graphite/grafana that runs circles around it. Perhaps they have more value for client facing systems because otherwise I cannot understand how they are still in business.
Count me in as somebody with taste that knows something about film and finds this movie a waste of talent. The real Kubrick underrated masterworks are paths of glory and the killing.
this one of the many examples of the anti-intellectualism that is so pervasive in the software development scene. Are the inflexible, detail-prescripting methodologies he describes any good? of course not, but I haven't seen a single seriously used methodology be like that in real life unless it fell on the hands of negligent/incompetent management and/or engineers.
I have been working in the past few months with angular and have nothing but good things to say other than complaints about the docs and the complexity of directives/transclusion. He doesn't mention it but the coolest thing for me so far is the transparent use of promises in the templates. The unit testing support with testacular/karma is good as well, but I'm not sold on the e2e testing with angular-mocks, would like to hear more on this subject.
I wonder if car technicians go around making weak analogies with software development to justify their industry practices.
Something like: "Why do software developers have compilers? blah blah blah, and that's why we need to keep your tools organized"
you say you are lead developer then you should be able to get heard then, write a letter to your boss with all the improvement you can help produce in the company (write only 3-4 items), their long term benefits and tell him you want to dedicate 20% of your time to make them happen. If they say no or are ambiguous leave as soon as you get another job, if they say yes what the hell, stick there and if anything works ask for a raise.
what ever you do remember that your priority #1 is learning and growing professionally, with 1 year of exp I would guess that you can learn more in a job at a more organized company with senior devs to look up to than working by yourself.
good to know, was breaking my head to figure out why the auto-dj feature from musicBee was not working (it shuffles your mp3s and adds some recommended streams from last.fm). it will be hard to replace, I know spotify does something similar but not as well.
this is simply awesome, not only cause of the great visualization of data but because the interactions to model your scenarios blew me away. Really need to learn this D3 stuff ASAP.
