Working with systems is more than writing code, it is generation of Active Knowledge. In this article, I describe the concept and how it can be used to impact organizational decision-making. stayrelevant.globant.com/en/…

Replying to @toddlmontgomery
@toddlmontgomery discusses lessons learned in designing systems, especially those based on replicated state machines, that need to continue operating. Couldn't make it to #QConSF? You can still attend the conference online at #QConPlus: bit.ly/3CHZhfo

Amazon is now selling Refactoring 2nd Ed on Kindle martinfowler.com/books/refac… Currently they are discounting the hardback but not the kindle edition, so the former is a little cheaper. (Seems odd to me too.)

Replying to @CaseyCagle @Delta @NRA
I'm a multiyear @Delta flier with continuous years of status. If they do not stand by their decision *and* continue to distance their biz from guns, I will never fly them again. The 2 have nothing to do with each other; shame on Cagle for linking the 2 for his own interests.

I expect a high level of coverage. Sometimes managers require one. There’s a subtle difference. –@marick (via @wewut by @thejayfields)
