In the intricate landscape of software companies, a notable divide often emerges between the sales and software development departments. Sales is hailed for its immediate revenue impact, while development is sometimes misconstrued as a cost center. This article aims to dissect the reasons behind this prevalent gap and shed light on the distinct roles that each department plays in a company’s success.
Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a powerful and lightweight Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework for .NET applications. It simplifies database operations by allowing developers to work with .NET objects rather than writing raw SQL queries. In this tutorial, we’ll explore the fundamentals of using Entity Framework Core in C#.
The Marlin firmware is an open-source firmware widely used in 3D printers, known for its flexibility and extensive feature set. This tutorial will guide you through the process of building the Marlin firmware for the Creality Ender 3 using PlatformIO, a powerful open-source ecosystem for IoT development, and Visual Studio Code (VSCode), a popular code editor.
In a previous job, I found that a coworker was spending a full work week building an excel spreadsheet from our Azure DevOps data, so I spent about an hour writing a small program to replace his entire job. This triggered an arms race between myself and the coworker where they would slightly change what they added to the excel spreadsheet, and I would add that into the simple program (and then make it better). This went on for about 2 weeks until I was called into the manager’s office and was told that I was bullying the coworker by doing this, which I disagreed with.
ML.NET provides a very simple way of performing Anomaly Detection on random variables as long as they are independent and identically distributed (i.e. daily sales totals recorded at the end of each and every day). With it also being possible to detect anomalies without requiring past examples beyond your dataset.
Companies often claim that the operate a “no blame culture”, and then joke tht its actually a “know blame culture”. A “no blame” culture and a “know blame” culture may sound similar, but they have significant differences in their underlying principles and how they are practiced within a software development organization. This is particularly notable in the software development industry due to its unique characteristics.
In recent years, the Zero Trust security model has gained prominence as a robust approach to safeguarding digital assets. However, when applied within a software development company, this policy can inadvertently hinder the productivity of software developers. This article delves into the specific challenges that arise when implementing a Zero Trust policy in this context, shedding light on why it may not be the most conducive approach.
In the fast-paced world of software development, achieving high levels of productivity is paramount for successful project completion. However, counterintuitively, overmanaging software developers can often lead to reduced efficiency and hinder the overall progress of a project. This article explores the reasons behind this phenomenon and suggests alternative approaches to foster a more productive work environment.
Yesterday, Gamers Nexus posted a video titled “The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility”, which addressed several concerns that GN have with Linus Tech Tips, the LMG Labs, and Linus Himself.
This then sparked a long thread on the LTT forums where Linus himself responded to the video and several of the comments made by the forum users around the video.
With this post, I would mostly like to address several things Linus stated in his response to the video.
