Own the interface, or be owned by the interface… as they say :)

Not a single Schrodinger's cat joke in all the replies.
Disappointed.

Curious if you would recommend RFCs as a communication method for an Engineering Strategy?

My bad. I've been working on extracting a bounded context from an existing monolith. Without applying Branch by Abstraction, and using feature flags to control the flow at run time, it would have been very difficult.
I wrote about it here:

Recently tackled extracting a bounded context from a very large monolith and without TBD, BbA in particular, with feature flags, it would have been a nightmare.
Couldn't imagine how a long-lived feature branch would have remotely been successful

I'm doing a wee series on design patterns on YouTube.
Here is the playlist:

Ooh, I’d also like to know which ones you find!

That’s a shame. Last 6 months would have been a nightmare for me without it. Particularly Branch by Abstraction

It's the NuPhy Air75.
Have enjoyed it. My first and only mechanical keyboard. Although, I've been tempted by these split keyboards that have been doing the rounds

It's funny you mention this, because I have a half-baked draft of a blog post which walks through the testing pyramid with example tests for each stage :)

It's a beast. I have the P1S and A1 mini. Upgraded the P1S from the P1P. My dad also has the X1C.
Did you get an AMS?

Even things like the package manager being baked into the language is interesting to me - which wouldn't be possible in PHP.
I understand the issue raised in the article and drawing similarities to node_modules. But it's solvable.
Just keeping in mind:
Different != Wrong
Unfamiliar != Complex

Haha, na - don't worry. Not discouraged.
I'm just mindful I'm on day 0 and got a lot to learn while being more than happy to poke fun at myself! :)
I'm in no rush

The import statements referencing github.com
Is there something fancy going on here calling github?

Currently trying to learn how to model them and all the aspects. Immutability, for example.
I'm looking to learn golang and, as a goal, instead of building a project - looking to replace some of the code examples in my previous blog posts. First one is on Primitive Obsession (VOs being the solve)

Thanks for sending this over. Was nice to see some insights from an app using DDD, Hexagonal and CQRS 🙌

I don't unfortunately, but I'm subscribed to your substack :)
