Do you know of any 2d drawing tools that are keyboard oriented, i.e. modal like vim?
I'm looking for something to draw software diagrams in: component, class and some use case diagrams, but I'm getting more and more frustrated by the current solutions (used Enterprise Architect)
I guess that's the problem with using vim: You want the same efficiency in other programs...
A company hired me to to add a major feature to an existing product. I'm free to choose whatever front-end framework I like, but I'm not sure introducing a new (functional) language in this organization would be a good idea.
I'm impressed by elm's simplicity, and I'd like to structure this feature in a similar fashion. Do any of you know of existing frameworks which implement this approach?
I'd prefer light frameworks over heavier ones.
Thanks a lot!
I'm starting to look around for a new job, and need to update my resume. In my current resume I have a section called "Skills & Competencies" which includes a mixture of languages (C#, python, Go, JS etc.), products (various DB systems, BPM suites, etc.), areas (front-end, back-end, "cloud"/aws, db) but also practices/skills (project mgmt, TDD, agile development methods, CI, etc)
To me this feels like a mishmash of things and it does not give a clear picture. I'm not sure how to "design" this piece of my resume.
I guess the main point I want to bring across is that I'm an all-round developer who cares about getting things done and uses whatever means are best for the job. I'm able to learn/understand tech quickly but this is just a means to an end. I like to focus on the team and there interaction / openness.
How would you solve this? As interviewers, what would be helpful to bring this point across? What would trigger you to invite me for either a cup of coffee or a job interview?
Thanks a lot!
In the spirit of failing early, I'd like to ask you for some feedback to see if a problem we've been facing quite a while at a small ISP also applies in other companies. A first check to see if this idea is viable.
As an ISP we deliver different flavors of internet and value added services. We have multiple brands, each with their own proposition, discounts, region specific value added services, etc.
To capture these business rules we've built a domain-specific business rule engine as a service. A serious omission however was leaving out the maintenance part, so every change to a proposition requires configuration effort from a developer.
I was wondering how general this problem is. From my perspective the essence boils down to operations on sets combined with some decision making logic, and could therefore be applicable in many contexts.
Would you be willing to pay for a solution that gives non-programmers (e.g. a Marketing & Sales department) the ability to configure the product portfolio using custom rules?
Some further characteristics about the solution:
- Developers will be able to configure their own API
- Configuration (changes) should be tested as well [0]
- Rules can be applied in a specific time frame (e.g. a customer registered two weeks ago) and are versioned.
I'm very interested in your take on this and welcome any feedback, advice, extra requirements, etc.
Thanks!
