Theme, microservice and machine learning

Techniques * Decoupling secret management from source code

they did mention HashiCorp recently

• Legacy in a box

I am always impressed when I have that experience on a site

and realize how much it makes sense for most sites

• Progressive Web Applications
• Prototyping with InVision and Sketch

even as a non designer this stuff can be important to get an idea across

• Conversationally aware API

context aware API

I was thinking about this the other day in Slack for getting a stack

-- api around this

• Platform engineering product teams.

• but not a devops team

• Social code analysis

enriches our understanding of the code quality by overlaying a developer's behavior with the structural analysis of the code

We get this out of PHP http://www.phpmetrics.org/

and the social side that is interesting though

• CI Theater

Sadly, many developers simply set up a CI server and falsely assume they are "doing CI" when in reality they miss out on all the benefits. Common failure modes include: running CI against a shared mainline but with infrequent commits, so integration isn't really continuous; running a build with poor test coverage; allowing the build to stay red for long periods; or running CI against feature branches which results in continuous isolation. The ensuing "CI theatre" might make people feel good, but would fail any credible CI certification test.

• Enterprise-wide integration test environments

contract testing

decoupling deployment from release

focus on mean time to recovery

testing in production.

• spec-based codegen

not making code from these tools "Swagger/RAML" till the robots take over

Tools * Airflow [read more]

is a tool to programmatically create, schedule and monitor data pipeline

• Cake and Fake

more new and good tools coming out of MS but this time for .NET

• Serverless Framework

man do I wish I had more time https://serverless.com/

• Amazon Rekognition
• Claudia

Claudia makes it easy to deploy Node.js projects to AWS Lambda and API Gateway. It automates all the error-prone deployment and configuration tasks, and sets everything up the way JavaScript developers expect out of the box

• InSpec

looks really interesting long term info about servers

• Molecule

Ansilbe role testing!!!!

• Spaemacs

could be interesting

• SpaCy

NLP Processor

• Spinnaker

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence.

• Testinfra

too much manual qa right now for me

Testinfra aims to be a Serverspec equivalent in Python and is written as a plugin to the Pytest test engine.

• Yarn

Kent Beck : “I get paid for code that works, not for tests”

What kinds of tests are there? * Units / Units * Integration / Inside * Acceptance / Outside * Contract Tests

How important is it that tests align with the business language and domain context?

Do tests ever get in the way of writing code?

http://stakeholderwhisperer.com/posts/2014/10/introducing-modelling-by-example

Being proud of 100% test coverage is like being proud of reading every word in the newspaper. Some are more important than others. - Kent Beck

Latest Readings “Agile Estimating and Planning Mike Cohn”

Q & A / Main Topics to Discuss How much to let reality (or the perception of reality) get in the way of a good idea

• How much to research product ideas.
• How to decide where to invest our most valuable resources as developers (e.g. time).
• What is the ultimate goal?
• For me a related question is: how do I be myself (a bit of a realist) without seeming like a debbie downer all the time.
