There is no better way for people to show that they understand message passing and the actor model than to have them implement a simple scene in Scratch.

That is much different than being a “new” thing where being unique and different was valued to entice new customers and create/find markets that didn’t previously exist.
The art and branding around corporations will reflect that over time. It’s a small glimpse into what is happening in technology as a whole as it matures and “professionalizes”.
This is just the abstract to anyone who doesn’t have access to the journal.
It’s become true at even many very “nice” restaurants as the open kitchen, open spaces, and hard surfaces everywhere aesthetic has taken over nearly everything.
Great site and wish you much continued success with it!
Curious, it seems college baseball scores are generally not as easy to find as others. Do they tend to be behind more restrictive APIs, or is it more just that there’s so little interest in it vs MLB?
For instance, I like to keep up with my colleges sports teams, but I don’t need the live tracker stuff (if I wanted that I’d watch the game on tv). But I’d love to have a Home Screen button that would bring up the “app” for “Georgia Tech baseball score” or “Georgia Tech basketball score” to quickly see what’s going on what I’m in between meetings at work or out doing something with the family.
No ads, no frills, it’d be gloriously simple and I assume there is some way to do it but I could not find it.
We have a lot of things that are build well enough to work, but few things built well enough to work well.
This is becoming increasingly less true in some places around the US.
I look at the pithy little bits in this quote as being standins for the larger acts that they’re part of, and wouldn’t read too much into it.
They’re both quite good at what they do, and they do similar things.
That feels like quite a stretch. Pilate is an important figure in the story, but antihero? He largely is the state actor “just trying to keep the peace” and giving in to the religious leaders to make that happen.
Seems more like a real politik type of character of his day than anything to my memory. Keep the tax revenue flowing, don’t require more legions to be brought in, keep your governorship.
It’s a fantastic set of tools, and a great community. The real trick is that the organizations that you find using it, especially well established ones, are going to pay well and be looking to invest heavily in their engineering teams.
2 who work hard and are net additions
2 who actively work against things to maintain whatever they have
6 who are just content to be there, do what they need to do to continue to get paid and lean towards whichever of the above groups make their life easier at any given time.
That tracks fairly well with most every class I remember.
| Professionally, my task is complete when it meets the needs of the client and I get paid. With this class, tasks are never complete. There's always more revising to do, and you never know when to stop.
Sadly that maps pretty well with client work as well. The person getting the work done always thinks it’s the most important thing you’re doing because it is for them.
An assigned mentor isn’t one. They’re either a boss, a peer, or an onboarding helper.
Mentorship is deeper, lasts longer than just being at one job, and isn’t something that everyone is going to get. In my experience they’re very rare, and rarely is the word mentor used in relation to it, expect in hindsight.
That is why it is important that updates be framed in terms of outcomes for the business/customer/etc and that they be falsifiable.
You’ve got to become an ad-hoc subject matter expert in many different areas, or be able to find and hire those people. This is everything from electrical, RF, design for manufacturing, mold design, packaging, logistics etc.
In my experience finding a manufacturing partner is a challenge, big ones are usually not interested in a low volume product taking up their assembly line space. They’ll usually want some contractual guarantees about the number of units and it’s going to make your eyes bulge the first time you see it.
Call a lot of people, ask a lot of questions, and get introductions from every possible person you can. A lot of manufacturing is old school business and relies on past experience and transitive trust to start a relationship.
I really loved the challenge, but this kind of thing is not something to step into lightly.
