Just got through the "Transactions" chapter of @martinkl "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". This has been the heaviest chapter yet for me. Will have to go back and reread latee to really understand the subtleties between isolation levels and consequences.

@dalanmiller About halfway so far. I love stories like this one where the author really tries to make me experience completely alien perspectives. What's next on your list?

@Kindling Just finished it last night. Was a wild ride, you?

@dalanmiller Mee too! ☺️ What do you think so far?

@jessfraz The sequel to one of my favorite books of all time. goodreads.com/book/show/4037…

Also, your codebase is too complex for any human (no matter how much caffeine, no matter how dark they like their ide) to keep in their head. A big part of an engineer's job is managing that complexity so nobody needs to try.

And I'm pretty certain the conditions required varies from person to person.

Seems like a platitude at first sight, but the "freedom to grow" part is something that is in my experience often completely overlooked when talking about Growth mindset in workplace context. If the conditions for growth isn't there, it's just not going to happen.

And we're done!

Hat tip for actually talking about what did not work as well as what did.

Noise in the expo area is just insane. I'm hiding out in the empty session halls instead 😀 #AWSSummit Stockholm
