  • Strategies for making impossible decisions

    Being faced with an important choice that feels impossible to know the answer to is stressful! This comes up a lot when making business decisions, but also applies to technical choices (e.g. “should my company run 100% on AWS” or “is serverless a fad or a great idea?”).

  • Writing effective technical documentation

    Documentation can make a big difference. Internal documentation can speed your team up and makes it easier for new engineers to get up and running. External documentation reduces time spent on support questions, and makes your product more usable.

  • Introduction to functional programming

    Expressions are the most basic form of human interaction! Programming languages are trending more towards using expressions rather than procedural statements, adopting the declarative paradigm.

  • The benefits of delivering imperfect software

    We all want to deploy the best software possible to delight our customers and please our product owners. There’s always one more feature, another performance improvement, and code we just wish we wrote better.

  • The possibility of AI-powered Javascript apps

    There are many exciting things happening with AI, from which, until recently, JavaScript developers were largely shut out. But things are changing, if you can do `npm install @tensorflow/tfjs` or make an API call, you can now do AI.

  • Identifying and articulating the role of AI in your software design process

    We’ve all read the articles and got excited by technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, Tensorflow, Panda and NumPy. A lot of us are also looking at how to incorporate these technologies into our toolset and in the software we are building.

  • Rejecting the black box: examining the implications and practicalities of testing AI

    There’s a lot of talk nowadays about the impact that artificial intelligence (AI) will have on testing. There’s a new generation of testing tools being developed that employ AI with promises of making testing much more efficient for us.

  • Navigating front-end architecture like a Neopian

    Over the past few years, I’ve gained expertise in front-end web architecture. I’ve done this work at Indiegogo, Headspace, for my open source mental health project if-me.org, and in my current role at Mailchimp.
