The author isn’t comparing apples with apples. “Butterfly valve” is the name for a type of widget. There are many instances of “butterfly valve”, some of which will have strange brand names. Just like there are many…
I think you mean empathetic, rather than emphatic.
I see this “AWS for everything” Well-Architected stuff everywhere. AWS benefits greatly from inserting itself in between all our architectural layers. There’s nothing stopping companies from using the cloud for its…
Humans hugely undervalue their time. £12.50 per day is a bargain for a tradesperson if it means they can do more work because they’re spending less time idling in traffic jams.
Behavioural change is a key part of these schemes. Kids walking to school, families getting groceries delivered, or picking up groceries by foot on the walk home from the bus are all viable low-cost options in London.
The train companies operate trains, not lines. For example; CrossCountry’s service runs on track shared with other passenger companies and freight from Penzance up to Scotland.
This is my experience as an adult studying calculus, linear algebra, dynamic programming etc. Calculus is mostly algebra. If you can’t reliably solve algebraic equations, derivatives and integrals will probably be a…
I want to verify for myself that I _know_ the material. A series of challenging exams will do that more thoroughly than completing exercises from a textbook or online course (where, let’s be honest, we’re more forgiving…
I’m in a very similar position. I didn’t go to uni and somehow found myself in a programming career. In a few weeks I’ll be sitting A-level (UK advanced high school) Mathematics exams for the same reasons as you. I’m 32…

I was with this post until the author mentioned a /utils or /helpers directory, which made me sad. No piece of code is so bland that it can’t be placed somewhere with a name that describes what it does or what category…
Lawyers aren’t the users here. The users of law are normal people and companies that need to transact with untrusted parties. Well-paid lawyers clinging to Microsoft Word are a cost centre to most businesses, much of…
I’ve always wondered if contracts themselves couldn’t be expressed in a parsable domain-specific language. IANAL, but it seems to me that source code and contracts/legislation/policies are similar in many ways: logic,…
This is very seductive, but what happens when I need to refactor the database? Do all my API consumers just have to deal with a new interface?
We use currying at work to inject dependencies. E.g. `sendEmail(mockEmailService)(to, subject, body) ` I find it helps to differentiate between side-effecting dependencies and parameters, making code purer, easier to…
And the is-odd package.json requires is-number! Jesus...
