Been hearing a lot of people talk about going back to the fundamentals of Software Engineering when they talk about continuing to be competitive in the AI-driven Software Development world.
I want to ask what everyone thinks the fundamentals are and do they believe this will keep them competitive?
How does everyone keeps track of all the services that their app needs to run? For example, you use a particular email service or your app is a bunch of microservices. How do you keep track of all of that?
Thank you so very much for the extremely detailed answer. Really appreciate it a lot!

I've found it more simple to build UIs using the methodology. Not only were they easy to understand (once you understood the methodology), they made building UIs much faster and easier to maintain. Had friends do the same on their projects with similar results. Just hard to understand at first.
An example that immediately comes to mind would be something like writing Front-End components using the Atomic Design Pattern. It makes writing modular components simpler but the pattern can be difficult to understand at first and apply properly at first.
Would mostly apply to Front-End & UI Devs
Quick question, if you want to implement a design that leverage a particular tricky concept but it's a good technical decision for the software you're building, what should you focus on?
I haven't coded since last year hurr durr
This emerged during Office Hours Chat! today. (tiny 🧵.)
Work describes the tasks we do and why we do them, but Job is only a mechanism to exchange tasks/time/energy for money.
Sometimes we have the opportunity to do Work at Job and we often feel happier when we do this.
Where do you go to look at Software Design specifically for Front-End applications? Been going down this rabbit hole again and would just like to see if my thoughts match up with others in the space.
Happy Twixmas!
We hope you’re enjoying some well-earned time off. If you're craving a little quiet though, why not make a start on your proposal? Our CFP is open til 9th Jan so you’ve still got time. But remember, the more people you show it to, the better!

Software design techniques represent, at their core, a guess about what a hypothetical future reader will understand more with a lower investment in effort, time, and money.
I consider "guess" the key word of that claim. What makes you guess more accurately? Experience, knowing the audience, ...
Designing software means forever balancing two opposing consequences of the limits of working memory:
- wanting conciseness and relying more on tacit knowledge to make writing code feel easier
- wanting clarity and relying less on tacit knowledge to make understanding code feel easier
No escape.

I've been working at a bank locally. I've also been exploring Platform Engineering as well but I'm not too far into that. Still exploring that space though, it's really enjoyable.
It might be that job cause I think that's the one I remember!
Going well? Sounds pretty interesting.
Oh snap, congratulations! Are you still at the same role the last time we spoke?
I got a Jamaican-specific ad from Twitch today.
We are in the end times...
Doing good, just working and such. How have you been? How's everything treating you?
Man, it's been a while! Good to see you again!
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
So I write a 'Weekly Goals' document every week.
One of the best things I've picked up is adding a Retrospective in the Notes section of each doc. It mostly forces you to process why the week turned out the way it did.
Keeps you from mindlessly doing activities that you think are adding value.

That awkward moment when you're learning about a software design pattern and you decide to update an old app to explore the pattern...
...only to realize that you've been leveraging the pattern in your design and you just didn't have a name for it

There is a Rails Developer role that would be an excellent match for my experience! Please share, this could be really helpful after being laid off <3
Anyone here @ Vercel? Would love a referral for an eng role there! <3
If possible, please share the post!
That's an interesting question. The few I've seen says 1 - 3 years of experience. Not the most junior but better than 5 - 6.
They also say Associate Software Engineer too and not Junior.
