The bigrewrite
The document discusses the challenges of deciding whether to rewrite an existing codebase from scratch or work with the legacy code. It outlines reasons for not working with the existing code, such as missing documentation or tools. It also notes potential issues with rewriting from scratch, such as the impact on other teams and office politics. The document recommends starting by automating infrastructure and tests, learning the essential business concepts, and trying to introduce incremental changes to the legacy code before deciding to fully rewrite it.
The case for continuous delivery
The document discusses the benefits of adopting continuous delivery (CD) principles for software development. It outlines how CD can (1) create a repeatable, reliable release process that automates tasks, (2) empower teams through shared responsibility and increased collaboration, and (3) provide business value through faster feedback, consistent processes, and lower costs. While initial costs may increase for training and new tools, CD can ultimately shift costs from releases to other activities and deliver software faster. The document provides a sample deployment pipeline and maturity model, and discusses managing expectations for change when adopting CD practices.

Sizing epics tales from an agile kingdom
The knights in the Agile Kingdom faced challenges sizing epics due to their variable size, complexity, and uncertainty. They developed two recipes - the Blue Recipe which involved planning poker and multiplication, and the Green Recipe which broke down an epic into user stories first. However, neither scale worked well for very large epics. They adapted by using a recently sized existing epic as a benchmark and rescaling. This allowed them to estimate the sizes of three sample epics as 5, 8, and 20 epic points, providing high-level sizing while addressing the issues of comparing variable epics.
Scale net apps in aws
This document discusses how to auto scale .NET applications in Amazon Web Services.

The document provides an example of scaling an application from 2 web servers and 3 application servers in 2012 to 3 SQL servers and more elastic resources like SQS and ElastiCache by 2015. It also discusses best practices for auto scaling like using out-of-process sessions, log collection, and setting CloudWatch alarms to trigger auto scaling rules.

Parallel & async processing using tpl dataflow
This document discusses parallel and asynchronous processing using the Task Parallel Library (TPL) Dataflow. It introduces dataflow as an actor-based programming model for creating data processing pipelines with in-process message passing. TPL Dataflow provides blocks like SourceBlock, TargetBlock, and PropagatorBlock that can be composed into pipelines. It offers benefits like effortless use of multithreading and performance boosts. Examples of where dataflow is useful include robotics, manufacturing, imaging, biology, oil and gas, and finance.
Material design screen transitions in android

Kickstart your own freelancing career
The document provides tips for starting a freelancing career with no clients or experience. It recommends experimenting daily until finding a client ("getting the fish"), using sites like HackHands and UserTesting to find and attract clients, treating each project like driving a taxi where the goal is to start moving and find a solution, putting the client's needs first with fast responses and over-delivering on promises, genuinely caring about client success, and maintaining high standards while also enjoying financial prosperity.

Ecma6 in the wild
The document discusses ECMAScript 6 (ES6), the next version of JavaScript. It summarizes the new features in ES6 like classes, block scope, arrow functions, and spread/rest operators. It describes the speaker's experience using ES6 in a project since December 2014 by transpiling ES6 code to ES5 using Babel. Key challenges discussed are the learning curve to adopt new syntax and convincing teammates. Features currently used in the project are listed as arrow functions, let, template strings, and default parameters. The document concludes by noting the need to keep adapting to new standards released annually and resources for learning more about ES6 and ES7.
Diana antohi me against myself or how to fail and move forward
This document discusses mindset and how beliefs about intelligence and ability can impact learning and growth. It describes the differences between a fixed mindset, where intelligence is seen as static, and a growth mindset, where intelligence is viewed as malleable. A growth mindset believes that effort and practice can improve abilities over time. The document encourages adopting a growth mindset to overcome challenges through learning from mistakes and setting learning goals rather than performance goals. It advocates failing productively by remaining hopeful and keeping efforts focused on improvement.
