A mix of software development, processes, machine learning and data.

Month: January 2016

Geek Reading January 15, 2016

Leading the day is a post on ReadThink by the HubSpot CEO. It is an excellent look at how to manage things when dealing with the switch between pure startup and scaling a business. Tom Blomfield gives us a slightly humorous look at when to join a startup. Its’ target may be humor but there… Read More Geek Reading January 15, 2016

Seth Godin leads our day with his post on resilience. Resilience goes with hard work, and can really help your career in the long term. On Laughing Meme, we have an excellent post on technical debt. It takes a slightly different slant on technical debt and I don’t agree with everything, but it is worth… Read More Geek Reading January 14, 2016

It has been a while, so obviously it is time for another security issue to lead our day. On Motherboard, they talk about a flaw on ebay’s site that can allow someone to steal user’s passwords. It is a fairly simple hack as well, but it does require users to click a specific link so… Read More Geek Reading January 13, 2016

TechCrunch leads the day reporting on a new type of metallic glue that can replace solder, MesoGlue. This is really interesting because it has the potential to change the electronic hobbyist industry and potentially more. High Scalability gives us a very nice introduction to scaling to 11M+ users on Amazon AWS. Not surprisingly, there is… Read More Geek Reading January 12, 2016

Leading our Monday is a post on techiferous where they talk about not treating quality as a separate activity. Anyone involved in development should be aware that writing code and throwing it over the wall to QA is not a productive or efficient practice anymore. On KD Nuggets, there is an interesting post about rare… Read More Geek Reading January 11, 2016

Geek Reading January 8, 2016

VentureBeat had several good articles yesterday. First, they reported on Yahoo planning to lay off more than 1000 employees, which equates to about 10% of the company. That is a fairly big number but it makes sense as they continue to try to streamline their business. Amazon is now selling its own brand of ARM… Read More Geek Reading January 8, 2016

It was a slow news day yesterday, but there are still some interesting stories. First, WordPress released v4.4.1, mostly a security and maintenance release. The Next Web reports on Remix OS bringing Android to every old x86 PC. This could be an interesting way to repurpose some old hardware with an OS that many people… Read More Geek Reading January 7, 2016

Some interesting news to start our day. Twitter finally seems to be moving to longer messages, possibly as big as 10k. Oracle acquired AddThis for $200M. This is interesting because it really feels outside of what Oracle has purchased in the past. Flowing Data has an excellent visualization on the cause of death over various… Read More Geek Reading January 6, 2016

Dan Luu leads the day with an interesting look at the effect of markets on discrimination. Not surprisingly, this post stems from the ideas of discrimination and diversity in the technical industry, but it is not entirely focused on that. Johanna Rothman gives us an excellent post on architects as servant leaders. Much of the… Read More Geek Reading January 5, 2016

Geek Reading January 4, 2016

Now that vacation is over, it is time to get back to the daily links. First, we have Rands in Repose talking about employees leaving when they are happy. In particular, the focus is on when the employee let’s his “shields down” and goes for coffee or lunch with someone. Paul Graham has an interesting… Read More Geek Reading January 4, 2016
