A Buddhist Software Engineer: December 2013
http://toddblackley.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Made For Each Other. I've been playing with Node.js and MongoDB and have been having fun. I can see right away the attraction of this pair (and other related) of technologies. The low bar of entry, the common JSON thread, the perfect fit for specific types of problems. Very nice. It's been fun and I feel that 2014 will bring more enjoyment th...

A Buddhist Software Engineer: June 2013

A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Sunday, June 9, 2013. There was the potato famine of Ireland, there was the Wintel consortium. Both examples of mono-culture where the majority share holder of a segment (food and tech) is owned by a single player. Sound good, easy to get used to, lots of benefits and, for a while stable. Also very fragile and prone to sudden collapse. The same for the development of soft...

A Buddhist Software Engineer: September 2014
http://toddblackley.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. It's Been a Year. Yes, It's Been a Year. Time just flies by. So is it just me or is everybody getting hit by head hunters these days? But SPA's are not just for mobile they are for Applications, full blown business, consumer, type applications, and application are everywhere. The main issue left is who will write them?

A Buddhist Software Engineer: What does Big Data and ITER have in Common?

A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Thursday, January 1, 2015. What does Big Data and ITER have in Common? I work with Big data, I do not work with ITER. But both appear to suffer from the same condition, they both promise great benefits in the future. On to Big Data. Life is good. Except, collecting data is not the same as harnessing and controlling it. At least with ITER there are 1) blueprints, 2) physic...

A Buddhist Software Engineer: February 2013
http://toddblackley.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Believing Your Own Hype. Being a software engineer of a certain age, I get to see the same patterns repeat themselves in this field. One of the patterns is companies repeating statements that sound like they are true, want to believe they are true and try to convince others they are true, when they are not. Visual Basic is object orientated.

Simple Pleasures = Helping = Business Model. OK, I do like simple pleasures in life. Especially if there is a connection to helping others. There are a number of business models that combine a product that everyone needs with also providing benefit to those that may need it. Businesses like Tom Shoes. It's nice to see them succeed.

A Buddhist Software Engineer: What They Said, What I Heard
http://toddblackley.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-they-said-what-i-heard.html
A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. What They Said, What I Heard. Behavior was something else. I had heard wrong! This was a simple version. What does "Done" mean coming from a developer? What does "Bug ridden" mean from QA? What does a developer hear when PM describes how a feature works? I run into this every day while working and I almost always need to respond with my understandi...

A Buddhist Software Engineer: August 2015

A Buddhist Software Engineer. This blog is about my perspectives as a Buddhist and it's effect on my performance as software engineer. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Read This Book and Failure, What Failure? I picked up Austin Kleon's latest book "Show Your Work". These lessons are how to grow your self and what to avoid (vampires, you know who they are). It's cheap and well worth the read. It's not the failure that drives you, it's the learning along the way. A Buddhist Software Developer. I've been in softw...
