@alexxubyte No data types & algorithms, OO Design, Clean Code, TDD, operating systems and network fundamentals?

Can a typo cause an epic incident? Sure thing, especially if some tools run rogue. Short story about an incident at @ZalandoTech from 2022 that took down our site. #sre engineering.zalando.com/posts/2024/01/…

@linasbeliunas @GergelyOrosz No, imho. Guaranteeing fair competition is a different point than what's the best/fairest service

@GergelyOrosz An argument against the competition - Apple Music is better for the artists:

Got a new iPhone, paid a lot for it. Even so: as soon as I open Settings, Apple is advertising more stuff they want to upsell. Can’t help but think: a) They can do this as it’s their platform. Right? b) Spotify & phone insurance companies have no way to compete with this…

@dakdevs @GergelyOrosz No, because Apple is using its market dominance in the Phone&OS market to gain customers in another market, i.e. insurance and streaming. It's about enabling fair competition on top of the operating system, a bit similar to the EUs ruling on Microsoft defaulting to IE on Windows

@GergelyOrosz Could this be equated to Spotify advertising for you to upgrade to premium in their app after making an account? It's not like Tidal can advertise to new Spotify users in Spotify that they should get a Tidal subscription lol.

@tobiasmay Gibt es Tech Talks zu der DKB App migration? Struggle als User mit dem Doppelbetrieb, aber kann mir als techie die Komplexitäten vorstellen. Würde mich freuen über blogs oder talk links, danke!

"Jen GenAI" Exactly how I name my personas, too 😂

Tech Leads: Leadership & Management Aspects you should be aware of kaeff.postach.io/post/tech-lead…

Would you agree? In large orgs, "Stream-aligned" depends on your granularity level of the value stream. Example: A developer platform's value stream is the software development lifecycle, so a stream-aligned IDP team serves one kind of developer's end-to-end needs

@mipsytipsy Coding muscle memory has scaringly low half life but leadership profoundly transforms you as a human

The fastest, most reliable way to forge a great staff engineer? Take a great senior engineer, and put them through 2-3 years of managing a team. Rarely fails.

@iavins Monkey-patching JSON.parse to alter one site's XHR response, and that site *detecting* it I response. Nuts. Hate Brendan for JS, but the web is one fascinating ecosystem. Stuff future CS historians will write about.

I always wondered how adblockers for YouTube worked, this post nicely explains it. Also, the cat-and-mouse chase between YouTube and adblockers. A fascinating read

The only thing that excites me about SAFe is the prospect of someone's email footer saying "Release Train Conductor"

Accountability is a continuous conversation, not a one-off punishment. This 3-step process based on mutual respect helps the other see the patterns and impacts of their behavior, instead of alienating them with out-of-the-blue criticism

@deranged_xp @GergelyOrosz I'm suspecting that if they did, it's not a viable business model. And it's starting to show.

With subsidies having ran out, delivery apps like UberEats or Takeawaycom are so unreliable, thanks to shortage of couriers / incentive misalingment. When it rains: I no longer order (my order 50% of time cancelled an hour in) but either collect or cook. What’s old is new again.
