What's in your dependency graph? Don't miss @JVAsays's talk at @MonorepoWorld for actionable strategies for improving your dependency graphs' efficiency, clarity, and performance.

I have no idea why @Verizon keeps giving customers my mobile number (and directly transferring calls to me) but this morning I received yet another call from Verizon biz customer and I’m not mad. We ended up talking for three hours on a variety of topics. It was a pleasant call

@JVAsays @_jessicasachs Always down to chat! I have a summary of my pre 2011 experience here: sufficiently-advanced.technology/post/third-way…

@_jessicasachs @MichaelCarducci if yah got a minute, i'm sure your insight would be awesome to have

Hey friends! If you've been professionally developing websites before 2011 and have a minute, can you answer some "back in my day" software development questions for me? Not limited to stack. I have some pre-2004 gaps that I'm trying to fill as well.

@nchrismalone @vojkny @Polymail @Superhuman @diaper @TyOlatoye It would also be reasonable to communicate that hypothesis to customers. There's a lot more to the story, clearly, but I'm hoping for a detailed postmortem. Black swan events happen but we must learn from them. A public postmortem communicates a commitment to that learning.

@nchrismalone @vojkny @Polymail @Superhuman @diaper @TyOlatoye I'm inclined to take them at their word for now. If you have an app in production working fine for years and suddenly it can't interact with the database anymore, it would be reasonable in that moment to assume the DB provider changed something.

@Polymail Seriously?! This has been like this since noon west coast time ... do you just want me to walk over to @Superhuman tonight and just switch or what? Come on @Polymail get it together ...

@JVAsays @synalx @tomasz_ducin Whether we express it this way or not, architecture is about constraining the degrees of freedom carefully and artfully to induce the necessary and desirable system -illities. It’s a powerful paradigm because it provides reusable and composable architecture decision primatives.

@synalx @tomasz_ducin curious what @MichaelCarducci has to say about this since he's been all about redefining architecture around constraints lately

Each piece of software is full of constraints. Accidentally or deliberately. In a well-designed software, constraints are as important as the features.

@JVAsays @synalx @tomasz_ducin The ideas around constraints shaping the -illities in systems (software and otherwise) isn’t new but under-explored in our field. Joe Yoder’s “big ball of mud” pattern shows what happens when software is a free-for-all & a complex arch like microservices have many constraints

@JVAsays Having grown up in the uk, I can confirm there are a couple legends on that list. And there has never been a bad season of taskmaster… thank you for turning me on to it.

Have no idea who any of these comedians are but I'm excited!

Exciting news! Join us for another thought provoking #nfjs webinar, "Tailored Made Architecture" with @MichaelCarducci Learn ways to evolve your companies' architecture so that it organizationally fits like a glove! Join us Friday, 8/25 @ 1PM ET! nofluffjuststuff.com/webinar/96/tai…

@Zhaph @dylanbeattie @smtpcom @SendGrid Email is the poster child for “This is why we can’t have nice things”

It was a lot of fun to be at GIDS this year! The RDBMS is an oldie but a goodie.

@dylanbeattie @smtpcom Their chat support is usually pretty quick to set up DKIM records. It seems like there is some kind of manual step to set that up with them. The process with @SendGrid is much more streamlined and self-serve.

@2KAbhishek @developersummit I blame/credit @Schreiberland for this idiom.

We are at the "Fosbury Flop" moment in the Linked Data Revolution. @MichaelCarducci at #GIDS @developersummit

@Schreiberland when you were talking about mandarin numbers it reminded me of this comic. I guess early counting systems didn’t have use for quantities larger than two or three. Also, am I right in crediting/blaming you for describing pivotal moments as “Fosbury flop moments?”

@2KAbhishek @developersummit @markrichardssa @neal4d Hope you enjoyed! Great seeing you at the conference

It's been a Software Architecture focused day here at #gids @developersummit today. Got some thought provoking ideas about architecture and tradeoffs from @markrichardssa and @neal4d. Up next is soft skills for software architectures by @MichaelCarducci! Loving it! 💙

@TechButthead @developersummit @nakulshenoy @dhempe @pvprakash @StartupSanatana @amit6060 @avin_46 @A78G Thank you so much for connecting us!

My Another Most AWAITED session at #GIDS :- By @MichaelCarducci, (The #MAGICIAN AND turned #Developer) Speaking On "5-Essential #SQL Skills Every Developer should know" :- (@DeveloperSummit) Dear @NakulShenoy, U both need to know each other... :-)

With my alter-ego from another dimension, ⁦@MichaelCarducci⁩. Software techie, magician & mentalist, international speaker. Sound familiar?
