found this gold nugget on API versioning by Stripe stripe.com/blog/api-ver.... Traditionally, you'd have multiple controller methods. Instead this uses a DSL to do mapping for downgrading/upgrading from a base schema.

Thoughts: a different way to communicate with my team... Instead of "here are our goals, what's your plan?" - to - "How would you go if we want to achieve this goal?" 1. gives focus 2. perhaps stops me from giving my solution 🤷‍♂️

🌶️ take: microservices can use the same DB. Ignore 1 DB per service rule With these constraints: 1. limited by one writer/owner and everyone read-only. 2. Backwards compatible and versioned schema just like a public http API.

@lennysan.bsky.social Lenny's podcast is gold. I'm not a PM but I still get so much value from it. For Devs @robbyonrails.com Maintainable Podcast would be the equivalent. Does anyone have any suggestions for Dev podcasts in the same style and quality?

IME Companies do Pull Requests because teams are lacking confidence and trust in each other and their code. If ease to fix and pivot is high, people are forced to get it right the first time round. PR provides you that safety blanket 👶🧸👨‍🍼!

Coding DRY shouldn't be taken as gospel. It's ok to copy-pasta. Repeat if you have deliberate reasons (eg. forecasting code will soon diverge). Do DRY if you're aimlessly replicating.

what I want google.com to do: ask it a question, advice or opinion and it provides answers and if there's a purchase or further actions provide me websites of services that fulfills it and summarise what they offer. Not far-fetched I reckon!

🌶️ take: RESTful API is overrated. RPC is fine. REST makes sense when you have little clue on what the API has to offer and it provides a very sane and conventional way of CRUD. But really who ignores docs, uses the API and just hopes for HATEAOS?

I've come to understand "shielding your team" doesn't mean not sharing back-office discussions or pressure from higher-ups. It is removing them from meetings/discussion that doesn't concern them with their current or next in line tasks. Keep them in the flow state.

An issue (one of the many) I have with story point estimation is that it doesn't give space to improve the implementation. Any pain/drag is thrown as tech debt that never gets prioritise. One can say code isn't important - working software is. BUT bad software is going to slow you down in the future

about this TS vs JS. I do enjoy the benefits of TS but I think the tooling has made us sloppy Devs. Ruby got it right. The lack of typing forces people to write more intuitive code, better testing and some may say elegant.
