Favorite Development Tips from Twitter
@etiago: This made me chuckle :-) “Science vs. Engineering”
@viktorklang: Combining the Boy Scout Rule with DRY creates one of the most effective ways to reduce maintenance costs and lead times for features.
@ID_AA_Carmack: The desire to avoid unnecessary copying/reformatting of data has often lead me to introduce code coupling that I later regret.
@thijs: Some developers still don’t know you should paste “Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn” everywhere while testing
@hseeberger: If you want to measure latency, forget averages, use percentiles! #reactconf
@abt_programming: “The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren’t there” - Gordon Bell
@abt_programming: “I’m hoping our software strategies are boring to you, because they’re not changing every year, … That is our strategy” - Steve Jobs
@rjo1970: After functional programming, I realize dependency injection is just currying for masochists.
@newsycombinator: Friends don’t let friends use Eclipse http://blog.databaseanimals.com/friends-don-t-let-friends-use-eclipse
@RichRogersHDS: “A good programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.” - Doug Linder
@timperrett: Get yourself some awesome ASCII monitoring dashboards
@copumpkin: All that damn FP talk of Monads and Functors makes code impossible to understand. Let’s stick to Java!
@viktorklang: Any combination of the following should be a compiler error: size == 0, size > 0, size >= 1, size < 1 #use_isEmpty_its_awesome
@nzkoz: Code comments
@abt_programming: “Documentation is like sex; when it’s good, it’s very, very good, and when it’s not, it’s better than nothing” - Dick Brandon
@kellabyte: If you have a distributed system, you better start embracing failures and understanding how you need to handle/compensate/react to them.
@abt_programming: “the craft of programming begins with empathy, not formatting or languages or tools or algorithms or data structures” - @KentBeck
@abt_programming: “Technical Empathy - the ability to see the system from the pov of the caller of your code, not just the pov of your code” - @mfeathers
@abt_programming: “How did you know so much about computes?” - “I didn’t, it was the first one” - Grace Hopper being awesome http://bit.ly/1i1uBZf via @janl
@abt_programming: “I love ground-shifting ideas such as questioning the sense of using DRY. Remember kids, ‘DRY causes coupling’ Which is worse?” - @DavidArno
@chaddickerson: Cynicism is a mental prison. I have never seen anything get better because someone was cynical.
@dibblego: #scala It’s not the language. It’s the people. #won
@djspiewak: Dear…everyone. “3 factor authentication” means something you know/have/are. You gain no extra security from two things that you know.
@djspiewak: As a point of correction, functions are not relations, and thus Int => Int has only (2^32)*(2^32) implementations. #scalasyd
@PicardTips: Picard management tip: If you never fail, you aren’t going boldly enough.
@abt_programming: “Only those who risk going too far will ever know how far they can go.” - T.S. Eliot
@viktorklang: Work with a company, not for a company. #protip
@WisdomViking: To dare is to lose one’s feet for a moment. To not dare is to lose one’s self forever.
@aphyr: Don’t share code between microservices. Write a new handcrafted HTTP microclient for each microservice. Run them on artisanal microkernels.
@martinkl: Microservices. How to turn your monolithic ball of mud into a distributed ball of mud. (via @michiels)
@uSelfService: YOU SHALL FLATMAP MICROSERVICES

@temerev: Я ненавижу писать код: http://sorhed.livejournal.com/579179.html
@DijkstraQuotes: The lurking suspicion that something could be simplified is the world’s richest source of rewarding challenges. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD10xx/EWD1055A.html
@temerev: @runarorama I wouldn’t say that. Simplification is the final part. All intellectual work is identification, of course.
@abt_programming: “When the final design seems too simple for the amount of work you’ve put in, then you know you’re done” - Brady Clark
@CompSciFact: “The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.” – Tony Hoare
@copumpkin: When you see a tangled mess, take time to unravel it and make it simple. Rarely are systems inherently complex; foggy thinking more likely.
@abt_programming: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it’s to post the wrong answer” - Cunningham’s Law
@abt_programming: “First do it, then do it right, then do it fast”

@seancribbs: “Clients are part of the distributed system.” Oh, indeed. @skamille #CraftConf
@evanm: Always remember.
@dancres: Predictable maximum latency is more important than minimum latency in most applications. Design and optimise accordingly…
@revodavid: The Fourier Transform, explained in one sentence.
@JobVranish: Want to understand Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle? Position is the Fourier transform of momentum and vice versa.
@levwalkin: Вместо «Ты не понял, сейчас ещё раз объясню» используйте «Похоже, я плохо объяснил, попробую по-другому». Второе правдивее.
@abt_programming: “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re probably in the wrong room!” - @singularityu
@AynRandBot: In an intellectual battle, you do not need to convert everyone. History is made by… intellectual movements, which are created by minorities
@abt_programming: “It’s amazing how much you can get done in a day if you just sit and you do it” - Bill Tregle’s Dad
@aras_p: “Solving problems you probably don’t have creates more problems you definitely do” - @mike_acton http://www.slideshare.net/cellperformance/data-oriented-design-and-c
@abt_programming: “Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis” - Alan Perlis

@glorphindale: Пятница, кто не деплоит — тот слабак!
@BigDataBorat: Client say they want Enterprise grade technology, so we write all product instruction manual in Klingon.
@ML_Hipster: I once trained an SVM on digits of π until it realised we’re all just eigenvectors of the universe’s Hamiltonian—Now THAT was deep learning.
@jdegoes: Goal of the Spring framework is to take statically-typed, verifiable code and turn it into unsafe strings validated poorly at runtime.
@kmett: “You’re an interesting species. You’re capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares.”

@wpeterson: OH: “This software system uses the ‘Onion’ pattern. There are endless layers, and peeling all of them back makes you cry.
@ag1le: @rfletcherEW @wpeterson “Indiana Jones” pattern: each layer is archaeology, and architects acting like Nazis force you to solve mysteries.
@TomNomNom: I wrote a book about PHP
