A bit of incoherence between this

'We are destroying software telling new programmers: “Don’t reinvent the wheel!”. But, reinventing the wheel is how you learn how things work, and is the first step to make new, different wheels.'

and this

'We are destroying software pushing for rewrites of things that work.'

But generally speaking I grok it.


The rewrite line is about "Let's rewrite this big system from X to Y", not about experimenting creating new variants.


I think that's actually pretty pragmatic. Sometimes the answer is to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes the answer is to keep improving the system that already works.

The problem, IMO, is globally applying either rule.

Any hint on what technology they are going to use?



As far as I remember, mostly COVID certificate tech. I don't think the standards are done yet.


Since they mention trust and wallet all the time: Bet on a government-run blockchain. What could go possibly wrong?


Wallet because European ID is a tabu.


What's the data science-specific part of this terminal configuration?


The SEO?


Just wait until you see the "How to set up a terminal for DevOps with oh-my-zsh" article!
