He’d programmed in the 1960s and encouraged me to learn. It had 4Kbytes of RAM, and I designed and wired the CPU board together myself. Software was written in Motorola 6800 assembler, using a PDP-11 running Unix V6 as a development platform. I was never in his league, but it was inspirational for my early career development.

I remember as a young, naive software developer, I assumed there would be structured processes and patterns similar to those used for designing a software architecture. I crave structure and analytical thinking patterns to design optimal solutions. There are too many variables involved. A clear warning sign.

I’m sure that Google engineers do indeed take extreme care when building the low level networking code that powers Google’s datacenters, but their fundamental design point was to enable frequent releases for fast iteration, feedback on their designs, and yes, early detection of problems. How Serval works.

First and foremost, being intentional about organisation design requires good and honest discussions about all possible option. Is it possible to draw inspiration from outside of software engineering?

When this marker is placed in the program and section header count members, it indicates that section_header[0] holds the actual count values. You can use readelf –l or –S to see the program/section header information as well as dump the PT_LOAD.

There’s a bit more detail about the Déjà Vu programming model in the paper, but not much. If the thing you’re trying to build doesn’t fit with our framework, you probably have a design flaw! The paper is silent on this issue. Déjà Vu in action. Yep, you read that right.

In industry, generally due to time-to-market restrictions, we tend to think extremely short term with evolutionary design changes rather than riskier revolutionary ideas that have a longer timeline for returns. However, a similar near term bias exists in academia. Discounting the Past. The same myopic view clouds us as researchers.

But we, as technologists, have typically ignored our own expectations when designing and building those devices. If the devices aren’t designed with those expectations in mind, they’re destined for the landfill.
