Code & Coffee - 2/18/2022

 Code & Coffee - 2/18/2022

  • Quastor had an article on the architecture of databases
    • Listened to a related podcast: Analytics Engineering
      • Had a good episode about "real time database"
      • It might be this one: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-analytics-engineering-podcast/id1574755368
  • Talked about IoT
    • in Hotels
    • on Air Compressors
  • Fun plan ideas:
    • Heading to VGM Con: 
      • https://vgmcon.org/
      • Hope the weather holds
      • Video Game music Con
    • Vegas in March
      • for March Madness
  • Design docs
    • Matt has used them to complement processes
      • Has run the gamut from hig process to lean process
      • Lets not measure code lines/hr
    • Elements
      • Sequence diagrams
      • Caveats
      • Architecture diagrams
    • Spread it around to get feedback
      • This is a tool to present a light design pre-implementation to see if ideas from multiple head match. Sync up
      • Can also be a tool for splitting the work into parallelizable units.
    • There should be levels of this
      • 50,000 ft view - this can be consumable by business
      • and several iterations lower
      • down to nitty gritty technical details. - consumed by the developer.
    • These designs feed into documentation.
      • documentation should agree with the tech design
    • Documentation is a leading indicator
      • better docs => better product
      • better isn't always more
    • Woodworking is a great way to learn design
      • Lots of parts that need to come together 
      • You can swag it but the result looks meh
      • Planning a little ahead will turn out a better product.
