A lot of engineering effort was required for it to succeed and a significant marketing budget was spent to add it to the Java developer radar. However, the tradeoffs and implications when taming this horse are not always obvious nor shared with the same passion as its benefits. The good things are the ones we keep reading all the time we will have compacted native executables and memory consumption, startup time, and application size among others will improve dramatically. https://albertoimpl.com/post/necesitamos-los-daily-standup/ Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:46:36 +0200 https://albertoimpl.com/post/necesitamos-los-daily-standup/ Los Daily Standup son una de las herramientas más usadas desde que se popularizó el uso de Scrum pero, como toda herramienta, hay que pensar muy bien qué aporta al equipo. La forma más común de ejecutar el Daily es respondiendo a las preguntas: ¿Qué hiciste ayer? ¿Qué vas a hacer hoy? ¿Qué impedimentos o bloqueos no te están dejando ejecutar tu trabajo? Nosotros dejamos de hacer Dailies hace un tiempo. https://albertoimpl.com/post/the-boy-scout-rule/ Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:03:14 +0000 https://albertoimpl.com/post/the-boy-scout-rule/ Every other developer has been in a situation where they see a very nasty piece of code they don’t even want to look at. What should I do there? Why would I bother fixing it, causing more bugs and delaying the task I am now working on? There are a couple of metaphors that I like and try to apply and share with every colleague I work with. Back in the 70s a program for “Safe and Clean Neighborhoods” in the State of New Jersey was created. https://albertoimpl.com/post/the-importance-of-tail-recursion/ Sat, 05 Dec 2015 23:16:00 +0000 https://albertoimpl.com/post/the-importance-of-tail-recursion/ On your way to becoming a more functional developer, you have to regain some of your recursion skills. Recursion is pure functional programming best natural match because you don’t need any state to recurse. If we look into its pure mathematical concept, a function has no side effects and no state. No side effects mean you can’t use counters in loops since that would be a mutable state being modified (with would be the side effect). https://albertoimpl.com/about/ Sat, 05 Dec 2015 15:49:51 +0100 https://albertoimpl.com/about/ Alberto C.
