Performance reviews play a big role in the operation of the organization.

Software Engineer Performance Review are a Paradox

Micro-services has become a very hot topic in the last half-decade. After Agile, DevOps, its Microservices that we hear everywhere I go. The unfortunate thing that I witnessed though, is that, every organization and every person in that organization has their own definition of what a Microservice is. Just as the way, Agile and DevOps momentum are abused because of the cult status it achieved, Microservices too seem to have fallen in the same bandwagon.

10 Myths About Microservices

This was a decade when it was not easy for a start-up to even give birth, for things were so complex and expensive too. There wasn’t promulgation of open-source tools and technologies and the cheap cloud that takes so much of the pain out from you for infrastructure management was simply not there.

Given the observations of two features A and B: we observe correlation between features A and B, when we see a pattern where A and B change its values at the same time. When the values of A and B, increase or decrease together, we say they are positively correlated. When the value of A increases if we find that the value of B decreases proportionately and vice-versa, we say they are negatively correlated. &nbsp; Correlation is what we can visually identify by plotting the values of features in the graph and compare their trends for patterns. With this we cannot say what is causing what. In other words, you cannot claim one feature causing the other. &nbsp; When the change in one feature results in the change in the other, we call it causation. When we find correlated features, we dig around the domain, do more research and homework to increase our domain knowledge to claim that one feature is causing the other.

Correlation And Causation By Example

We all have our share of mistakes. We evolve over time learning our lessons. This post is to help you introspect your thoughts on varied things that float in the realm of software development. Below is a compilation of “some” common misconceptions that we hear and get influenced by for bad.

This question was posted recently in <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-so-wrong-with-TDD/answer/Karthik-Sirasanagandla?srid=iaOA" target="_blank">Quora</a>. I read other’s answers first and felt an itch to share my thoughts on it. This post is a re-production of that answer:

This post is a sequel to my earlier post — <a href="https://medium.com/p/embrace-and-evangelize-zen-coding-ffe4955daf1c" target="_blank">Embrace and Evangelize Zen Coding</a>. The earlier post paints a picture of who a Zen developer is. But who are Code Factories? Code Factories are those developers that take pride in churning lots and lots of code, bloating the product with features and bugs, with the vested interested of becoming a team’s irreparable liability.

A few days back I stumbled upon a tweet read something like below:

One advantage of a “contemporary” Software Developer jumping into the Data Science bandwagon is that for him/her the rate of technology change is a given and no frustrating experience.

And may you not trust me on this. Pick 5–10 failed startups from the recent past, and look for patterns yourself. Alternatively, take those Unicorn companies and write top 3 to 5 unique qualities in each of those that the founders or news articles claim to have been their beginnings (You can take for granted that doing the opposite of these in your early stages is counter-productive). Compare your list to what I have mentioned in this post, to cry “Eureka!”.
