Weekly newsletter about leadership, technology, books and anything else we felt compelled to share with others
Year 2 - Edition 3
A Fistful of Links is a weekly newsletter about leadership, technology, books, and anything else we felt compelled to share with others, brought to you by Og Maciel and Mirek Długosz.
A short overview of the values to espouse in yourself to be the leader who would inspire you to change and charge to the front. Being a good leader has nothing to do with being in charge, but much more about living some basic values that most will want to emulate.
There’s a lot more to the craft of software engineering than just the ability to code. In fact, I would say that the ability to write programs accounts for less than half of the skills that a good engineer needs to have.
Collection pipelines are a programming pattern where you organize some computation as a sequence of operations which compose by taking a collection as output of one operation and feeding it into the next. (Common operations are filter, map, and reduce.) This pattern is common in functional programming, and also in object-oriented languages which have lambdas. This article describes the pattern with several examples of how to form pipelines, both to introduce the pattern to those unfamiliar with it, and to help people understand the core concepts so they can more easily take ideas from one language to another.
People associate running pods with Kubernetes. And when they run containers in their development runtimes, they do not even think about the role pods could play—even in a localized runtime. Most people coming from the Docker world of running single containers do not envision the concept of running pods. There are several good reasons to consider using pods locally, other than using pods to naturally group your containers.
