Ready player one

I have many conflicted feelings about this book, I love the idea of a fantasy world that your mind is the limit-ish (let's don't count gaming experience restrictions set up by the particular activities in Oasis), but hate the why people love this same idea.

The Oasis is an infinite, amazing playground, it may be a shelter because you're having a bad time, it may be a way to get distracted of how your boss treated your that one meeting or it could mean that the real world just isn't enough for you. We're not that far from getting there, it's not that visible but people have gotten to that point, people spending thousands of dollars in Candy Crush, people more worried about their Second Life's dog than their real life pug, or people dying due to a burnout playing League of Legends or World of Warcraft... all of these great games, to be honest, but with that greatness comes a great vulnerability and ease for people prone to addictions.

Still out of this idea, I wish sometime we're able to have this gameplay experience in real life haha. I tend to dive very deep into games, but thankfully my responsibilities have overcome every time, and feeding my real life dog.

Hope I live one day to live in Oasis and drive a DeLorean in Vulcan while having sidekicks from my favourite pop characters.

Who needs an architect?

Since I was a little kid I always wanted to change things to work in a more efficient/easier/convenient way, as simple as organizing my toys as per usage, this idea evolved all the way to my professional career. Currently I manage projects of commercial systems and what I've found are many learnings: Similarities between a project manager and a software architecture Get $#!T done, a PM has to ensure communication and that workflows happen, as well as an architecture according to the lecture, has to have some high convincing skills, as his recommendations have to be listened and applied  Experience and responsibility As said previously, recommendations and tips... there's nothing like experience of getting involved in projects in order to have your voice have a valid and substantial background Importance and scalability A PM as well as a SA must have under their scope how easily their project/software will be taught, learned, scaled, this is their res...

Software Architecture

In the lecture of Code Craft we can see how software architecture is a high relevance topic for computer science, talking about how its evolution has increased the investigation and study cases. "Initial system design"... this is what Goodliffe mentions architecture is. This takes us to three pillars or cases in which architecture has jurisdiction: validation, discrimination and communication. Previous cases have direct impact in how you can avoid work duplication, redundancy, and wasting efforts (validation) When having proper software architecture, you improve communication as this helps with a high level view of what may be a complicated system or difficult to read to all stakeholders in a project. As for discrimination, it says how some situations can generate problems while decision making, having this concerns validated  we can then discriminate  some options. Mainly, the purpose of the lecture is to understand the importance and objective of s...

Microservices

From monolithic to microservices . This is dangerous and even though this is how my mind works, sometimes, may be limiting our minds. The idea of microservices, I believe is an amazing approach to development, and much more currently that we have whatever/anything/everything as a service , companies tend to have cloud solutions and plug n' play compatibility with different services. The microservices architecture must be an approach that jumps into your mind immediately whenever you think of implementing something in a company, or as a developer, developing for a company. Nothing's more scalable and easier than services connected in between just by API endpoints. I'll defend microservices architecture all the way. (:
