Some examples of diva bullshit from your developers:

correctness as an assertion of dominance
my religion is the one true religion (Python? You should use node for that. Node? You should use Scala for that.)
insisting on technologies that ‘scale linearly’ when developing services that clearly will not serve more than 100,000 people and can probably comfortably be served from one computer.
a coffee incantation that requires any of the following:
- a $300+ espresso machine
- an aeropress
- a scale
temperature measurements

This guy has lots of things to say about Amazon.

I am an autodidact (my formal education only tangentially describes what I can do), and a polymath (capable of holding my own amongst PhD-level Operations Researchers, Statisticians, Econometricians, Data Scientists, Computer Scientists, as well as Software Engineers).

IN THE THUNDERDOME

I love to solve real world problems, and in many ways am the perfect type of person for Amazon's culture.

Scratch that - in many ways I'm the perfect type of person. Look: birds wherever I go. Also I can toast bread with the heat from my abs.

Eric Snowden present's Adobe's new iPad Pro tools.

"I'm not quite happy with the model's smile"

"This is a new product we're launching called Adobe Photoshop Fix"

"It has facial mapping, so we can isolate her lips and just give her a little bit more of a smile. "

"Okay, now that' we've got that, let's toss a little junk in that trunk. Just round out that sweet booty a little bit."

I bought this tablet as an art tool - I was looking for a lightweight, portable alternative to the Cintiq and the Surface Pro 3 had some pretty good buzz.

My less-than-one-month-old Windows 10 Surface Pro 3 is about as stable as Greece's economy. On a 10 hour flight to France it required 4 restarts to keep it running. It would lose track of the mouse, it couldn't keep straight whether it was supposed to be in Tablet Mode or Laptop Mode, at one point it full-on crashed so badly that I had to consult an online resource to see how to get it to turn back on again.

On top of that, the awkward form factor of the device - heavy tablet portion, light fabric keyboard - renders it a clumsy, tip-over prone laptop as well as an uncomfortably large tablet. It's not so good at any of the things it's supposed to be.

I left it with Tiffany to see if she felt the same way:

Also the words "IT Revolution" are on the front of the book, so if you don't read carefully you might end up holed up with a bunch of guns in a remote wildlife sanctuary.

Foreword

The advice in this book was very successful at HP and Macy’s, two lumbering tech giants who are still relevant in this day and age, dammit.

Automation for the People

Long ago, the first time I read "The Pragmatic Programmer", I read some advice that really stuck with me.

"Don't Use Manual Procedures".

This in the chapter on Ubiquitous Automation. To summarize, they want you to automate all the things.

The trouble was that I hadn't much of an idea how to actually go
