This is my jungle boogie. [🎵] [🎶]
My software development approach is primarily data-centric, balancing both holistic and atomistic perspectives.
Some of my writings:
Some technical topics I'm interested:
- Programming languages:
- Syntax, semantics, and paradigms
- How they are implemented
- How they influence the way we think
- Declarative, domain-specific languages
- Functional programming
- Algorithms and data structures:
- Formulating problems, devising solutions
- Time and space complexity
- Zero-copy, zero-cost, zero-overhead abstractions
- Data architecture, data modeling
- Trade-offs, optimizations
- Systems design and software architecture:
- Extensibility, interoperability
- Performance, scalability
- Reliability, security, sustainability
- Maintainability, testability
- Design patterns, anti-patterns
- Standards, conventions, technical debts
- Accessibility, user interface, user experience
- Metaprogramming, code generation, developer experience
- Distributed systems:
- Consistency, high availability, fault tolerance
- Service discovery, service mesh, load balancing
- Concurrency, parallelism, topology
- Event-driven architecture, back-pressure
- Data ingestion and processing
- Immutability, statelessness, statefulness
- Automation and self-healing:
- Reducing human intervention
- Adaptive systems, agentic processes
- Monitoring, alerting, logging
- Automatic configuration and maintenance
- CI/CD pipelines:
- Automated builds, tests, and deployments
- Provisioning, configuration management
- Transparent provenance
Some principles I prefer to uphold:
- Accessibility: Emergency calls? Check. The silence for deaf people? Also check.
- Deterministic environment: Automated updates on planes? Be ready to reboot at 30,000 feet.
- Resource consumption: Performance boasted? How about now it needs its own cooling tower?
Some talks I recommend:
- "The Mess We're In" by Joe Armstrong
- OOPSLA Conference: Growing a Language
- "Simple Made Easy" - Rich Hickey (2011)
Scaling with no supervision breaks sustainability.
Software is not soft. Safety first. 💚
