Some years back, I was a senior software engineer and I was becoming less productive, because I was afraid I might produce code that wasn't judged as senior-software-engineer quality. My manager started to get a little…
Perhaps I should amend my statement: "such that they would fall apart as soon as we stop putting energy into maintaining hardware and software dependencies" Software assumes that there exists specific hardware,…
No, it is asking people to design and test systems for the long-term. It would require establishing strong interfaces between components that will hold up when subcomponents are swapped out. I think of it like a car…
Perishable software is a huge problem - things keep operating only in dynamic equilibrium, such that they would fall apart as soon as we stop putting energy into fixing flaws. I have been thinking for years that as a…
