Teaching, learning, and loving software development. Monday, April 22, 2013. Learning to become a developer is just as hard as it has always been. There are many different ways to learn how to become a software developer. One can go to college and learn about computer science for four years. Or, one can learn on their own with books or one of the many great and free online course aggregators. And interactive tutorial sites. One can even get intense training. Imagine if you were interested in learning how...

Teaching, learning, and loving software development: Knowledge work is a lonely activity
http://markm208.blogspot.com/2013/03/knowledge-work-is-lonely-activity.html
Teaching, learning, and loving software development. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Knowledge work is a lonely activity. Performing work on a computer is a mostly solitary activity. One can generally only reflect on one’s own experiences. It is difficult to get inspiration and learn from others. Because of the nature of our work and the tools we use it is as if we software developers go out of our way to hide how we do our work. Get feedback from ‘masters’ about our work. Try, then fail, then fix. Failing at...

Teaching, learning, and loving software development: January 2014
http://markm208.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Teaching, learning, and loving software development. Thursday, January 16, 2014. Let's at least start to consider killing the plain old file system. My big complaint about the file system is that, even though disk space has gotten incredibly cheap, we don't store more information about the changes to our files. Since the cost per bit of disk space is ridiculously cheap (and getting cheaper) we should record all the changes to a set of files and make that data available to be manipulated. Is the best use ...

Let's not kill the traditional file system
https://blog.kuntz.co/2014/01/31/lets-not-kill-the-traditional-file-system.html
A blog about nothing. By Don Kuntz. Let's not kill the traditional file system. This is a response to Let’s at least start to consider killing the plain old file system. While not exactly claiming think of the children , your point on storing changes for future generations to learn from is similar enough. The main problems with arguing for future generations is that they’re not, and not every change made to a file is interesting. Even Storyteller. Which you mention as a pseudo-solution acknowledges that ...
