Has anyone used the (a.k.a. )?

How did you learn it? I am trying to learn by myself, but the learning process highly recommends taking classes with a coach/trainer. Is it really worth it?

I have also found that the exercises are aimed towards a approach, so have you used it with a highly / approach like ?

As a reference, I'm following the for the 21st century (softwareexcellencealliance.org) but there are also materials for the whole thing:

* PSP for Engineers - softwareexcellencealliance.org
* PSP Fundamentals - softwareexcellencealliance.org

(It's also difficult to understand which one to select. There are overlaps in both versions)

I read the book from W. S. Humphrey but I found it somewhat difficult to follow after the first few chapters.

I know most developers know that curl can be used for all types of HTTP requests but you can also use curl to talk in many different protocols.

Twelve years ago, I was writing an async service that checked tens of thousands of IMAP servers in production for new messages via IDLE commands in Scala and while setting up a productive development and testing environment I had to inspect my tens of high frequency test mailboxes locally via scripts (not using my own code) and used #curl.

I *really* hated clowns as a youngster (no doubt due to the movie Poltergeist!) but for whatever reason I seem to have made a few of them over the years! 😬 🤡

- TypeScript (production)

Other languages (DSLs, special purpose, config):

Hi @ABAPDevEdition I already have a couple of use cases for the ABAP dev edition but I'm wondering if you could share others.

Mine are:
- training for CDS development
- proof of concept for connecting a git server with an Abap backend
- training for a TDD strategy

Any pointer is appreciated! 👍

On the same note, the Classic books series, again from the are absolutely worth your time, and many of the authors will be in both lists. 202212142258 ACM Classic Books

Finally, another good read is the of where they approach the subject in a very objective way, which I like. 202212142301 The Philosophy of Computer Science

Awesome Collection of references, mainly related to . Some of the texts can be found inside the of the and, as one might imagine, there are gems that are worth reading. I specially recommend the Axiomatic Basis for by and The next 700 programming languages by Landin.

P.S. republished because it’s a shame that no mobile clients in support and there’s no way to a toot

My favourite way to explain how large language models like GPT-3 work is that they're exactly the same idea as the iPhone predictive text keyboard, just a lot bigger

Which is a fun mental model to bring to the debate about whether or not they can achieve consciousness!

Hi Qoto! I'm migrating from my old account @andres@mastodon.technology . Sadly that instance is now shutting down. I hope this change re-ignites my interest in posting and sharing more content. I am a software developer, and was tempted to move to @mastodon.gamedev.place but I also want to learn about all kinds of knowledge, so qoto seemed like a great place 🌞
