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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

The "pipeline problem" is a myth. Women in tech exist. Black developers exist. Latinx designers exist. They just don't have access to your network. I've watched amazing talent get overlooked because of limited connections. So I built the bridge.

One of my favorite memories involving computers was when a technician had to debug my computer. We had Red Ants that would find their way into our computer and short a connection, electrocuting themselves. Happened at least another time after that with another Ant shorting out a tube monitor.

Has anyone framed the need for someone to build strong Software Design Skills as being empathetic to not only to the next Engineer who needs to read and understand your code but to those who also need to run your code and keep it operational?
