Exploring 120 years of timezones
Timezones, and daylight saving - the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour once a year - are a pain. They make it hard to schedule international meetings, plan travel, or may simply cause you to be an hour late for work once a year. For a developer, they are even worse!
In most cases, you learn to use platforms to meet the current business need or on standalone projects. The silver lining is the encouragement of learning and at some point this becomes knowledge, however, hands-on work can lead to cuts in paths that later cause a series of problems in productive environments. Therefore, the purpose of this guide is to help with the learning curve, helping to prepare a more stable, reliable and functional environment.
Write code that's easy to delete, and easy to debug too
Debuggable code is code that doesn’t outsmart you. Some code is a little to harder to debug than others: code with hidden behaviour, poor error handling, ambiguity, too little or too much structure, or code that’s in the middle of being changed. On a large enough project, you’ll eventually bump into code that you don’t understand.
Diagnose engineering process failures with data visualization
Here's three areas where data visualization can make your engineering life easier.
Why doesn't software show up in productivity?
Using software to operate our economic processes means putting huge portions of complex human life into code. While software improves through better tooling and faster hardware, the problems left to solve have steeply increasing complexity to reward ratios.
