Building scalable software requires a software engineer/architect to pick the right architecture especially when building enterprise software/applications. Monolithic architecture is usually the first choice in mind for most engineers because it is easy and does not have to deal with the distribu...

McKinsey recently published an article titled “Yes, you can measure software developer productivity” to collective gasps of horror within the industry. My own reaction was also visceral. I’ve seen the endgame of this and it’s not pretty. However, the paper answers a very real...

Which programming language should I learn? That’s the most common question for aspiring software engineers, and the answer is always: It depends on your preferences and what you want to build. But perhaps you want to take another route and learn the language companies pay you the most fo...

The title is a trick question, of course. Much like Data Scientist before it, the title Machine Learning Engineer is developing into a trend in the job market for people in our profession, but there is no consensus about the meaning of the title or the functions and skills it should encompass.

We are an odd bunch. We spend our days staring into screens, or sometimes into nothingness trying to understand a problem we’re trying to solve. We also spend our days trying to convince other humans that the problems we’re solving are hard and that we need computers to solve them for...

The selection of your team members might be influenced by capabilities, personality, and seniority. When thinking about seniority, natural questions arise on how many senior members is too many, how effectively a junior engineer would be able to address complex technical challenges, or if hiring gra...

Beyond the ability to identify problems and imagine solutions, the real challenge for organizations is the implementation of these solutions. Technology has long ceased to be an obstacle to helping organizations in their digital transformation and allowing them to increase their productivity. The...

When I became a manager, I experienced fear and self-doubt, making me question my ability to lead an engineering team. But partnering with my team helped me learn quickly, make the right decisions, and grow my leadership confidence. After a year of managing a team, I learned that you don&rsquo...

Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating tasks, deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It offers a robust set of features for container orchestration, such as automatic scaling, self-healing, and rolling updates. As a result, Kubernetes has become the de facto...

As a programmer with a degree in Electrical Engineering, I really should not write something like this, but I can’t help it! The capability of ShadowPC is blowing my mind.  I was going to buy a new PC because running a Parallel Windows desktop with a Mac M1 chip is extremely slow if I ...

During the 19th century, French engineers earned a reputation as innovators in the design and construction of large buildings using iron and steel. There is, of course, the example of the Eiffel Tower, the 300-meter iron structure in the center of Paris recognized throughout the world. When it was b...

Building a diverse and inclusive engineering team is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic advantage for any organization.

Also called autonomous cars, they work on the combination of 3 cool fields of technology. Here’s a brief introduction to each of them, and then we will go into depth. By the end of this essay, you will know enough about all these technologies to be able to hold an intelligent conversation...

The first thing to notice is that the scale has six marked edges. If you’re in the US, they will typically be multiples based upon an inch. As you rotate the scale, you will see edges marked from 10 to 60 units per inch. That is to say, there is a side each for 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, ...

Inthe world of Data Science, there is an important concept that make Machine Learning Model training with efficient and optimized way that will provide with high accuracy in making prediction or guess correct output by model. Yes, it is none other than Calculus. The ...
