We developed a friendly competition to break one another’s code. We are a bit wiser (you could take that as older) now and we don’t wait until 5 o’clock but we still try everything we can think of to exercise the code. I quickly got a MacBook and started coding on OS X as well as my Linux VMs, reading articles and books.

Platforms are conceptually popular with investors: in theory, a platform makes the mundane portions of a business efficient, scalable and adaptable, allowing a company to release the creative talents of its people to pursue growth and innovation. Employees will see replatforming as an exercise in re-creating software.

But outdated security practices pose a significant barrier even to the most efficient DevOps initiatives. We also quickly check for system events and see there were no scheduled code deploys in the last week. PoCs are incredibly powerful as an exercise we do WITH our customers, rather than TO them.

This abstraction allows the compute team to influence the reliability, efficiency, and operability of the fleet via the scheduler. We do this for reliability, scalability, and efficiency reasons. Let’s go back to that kernel code example earlier. The hosts that run workloads are called Titus “agents.” User Namespaces.

So many false starts, tedious workflows, and a complete lack of efficiency really made it difficult for me to find momentum. The whole point of the exercise that follows is to allow me to move quickly, spotting patterns from afar, and not having to do any slow or meticulous work yet. That work is what comes next. Final Word.

Efficiency, not human flourishing, is maximized. Governance is not a “once and done” exercise. In his book Voices in the Code , James G. There is no perfectly efficient algorithm that gets everything right. The design of an AI that will not destroy us may be the very thing that saves us in the end.

If you peek under the hood of an ML-powered application, these days you will often find a repository of Python code. Let’s start by considering the job of a non-ML software engineer: writing traditional software deals with well-defined, narrowly-scoped inputs, which the engineer can exhaustively and cleanly model in the code.

We have to specify with great precision in code exactly what our business rules are, and the computer will apply them exactly as we tell it to. Domain-Driven Design’s Aggregate pattern is used to bridge the gap. It acts as a collaboration tool to balance the need for business correctness, user experience, and technical efficiency.
