Complexity solving catch-22
Today I’ve stumbled upon an amusing post “Software disenchantment” by Nikita Tonski which resonated with me quite a bit. The following fragment in particular:
2014 - We must adopt #microservices to solve all problems with monoliths.
2016 - We must adopt #docker to solve all problems with microservices.
2018 - We must adopt #kubernetes to solve all problems with docker
The blog has many other great posts, and is apparently quite well-known: https://tonsky.me/blog
Maths is simple
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
On writing blog posts
Was talking recently with a friend about how hard it is to write blog posts and give talks these days. The longer you’re in the tech industry the more your opinions end up being “well it depends” and “I’m not sure”. These don’t quite make for good blog posts, hah.

Opinion
Reason never changed a man’s opinion which by reason he never acquired.
Excellence
What exactly means “Center of Excellence”? Whatever we want it to mean.
We should be brimming with excellence by nightfall.
Centers of excellence create more excellence. Evidence? None.
