• Back on the Road Again 重新上路

    直至2019年第三季度,我参加工作正好7年。


  • My Political Compass

    I did some online questionnaire that accesses your ‘political compass’ through a series of multiple choice questions.


  • Tory Leadership Contest as a Trade

    The UK had chosen a new Prime Minister, or rather, a party leader that conveniently became.


  • Parallels Drawn between Nature and Society

    A random thought went through my mind lately.


  • I Passed the AWS Certified Developer Exam

    I booked the AWS Certified Developer – Associate exam about half a year ago to help my firm spend some of its training budget. I (kind of) forgot about it until it was too late to. Too late being 2 days prior to the exam.


  • ‘Fooled by Randomness’ – Are You Too?

    I have recently finished reading (listening) to the (audio)book title Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.


  • Bamboo Can’t Git

    Bamboo is undoubtedly the weakest link in the Atlassian family. Somehow it seemingly did not enjoy the same level of love and attention as its siblings, Jira, Bitbucket, you name it. It’s the middle child, the Ringo Starr, an app that apparently put together by a gang of 3-rated grumpy developers from some forgotten location. It’s so irrelevant that it even got it’s ‘cloud’ status confiscated.


  • Forget TDD – Design Driven Development!

    When it comes to software testing, Test Driven Development (TDD) is the new politically correct. TDD, alongside with its variants, like BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) are particularly en vogue these days with dozens of projects built around these concepts. You can’t even go into any job interviews without claiming you are a true believer of TDD.


  • To Test or Not to Test

    Unit testing is so central to software development, that code bases with next to none test coverage hardly could make their way to production. Your blogger, same as many of you, live in a world where time and resources are scarce. One will have to be mindful of on what to test and what not to when working on an under-tested code base.


  • Can CANZUK Suck?

    Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is going on this week.
