That's a good point. The app actually uses an openid-connect library on the client side for OIDC flow with the authorization server. Since the apps delegates the flow to the library it does not have a full control over error handling.

Yes, I am going by both breadth and depth wise. For breadth wise, I am trying to understand how different pieces fit into the whole system. Absolutely, for learning the core concepts, I am going through the official doc as well.

Which books do you recommend ? Are there any other courses out there to ramp up learning ?

Seeking Co-Founder | AI/ML/LLM | Toronto / Remote | Pre-Seed

I am working on some ideas that leverage the recent development in AI/ML esp. Large Language Models. I am exploring to use https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel and similar technologies to develop apps with AI first mindset.

I highly recommend this book if you want to know more about John Von Neumann and his contribution to some of the most influencing topics of today's world including Game Theory, Quantum Physics, Electronic Computer, Hydrogen bombs etc.

This book is also great for history lovers since it also delves into the period of post World War II when the best of the brains started migrating to US from Europe and influence major national defense and security projects.

It's amazing to see how Von Neumann is able to move from one hard topic to another and make an impact.

I am basically trying to learn c# after many years of working in JVM languages. This project looks like a good hack to learn C# and .NET.

Sublime has definitely increased my productivity and if I have to select one command, it would be the ability to select and update all instances of the word - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12162047/how-to-select-a...

Do you know which are known VPN services available for personal use ?

I paid $4k for a 2017 Macbook Pro and if I want to trade-in this device to get a new one, I am getting only $1k. This is bullshit.

When a development team is following XP Principles, mostly two developers are doing Pair Programming with Test Driven Development (TDD) and rotating pairs every week, how much value will it add with code review ? We recently had a discussion where some of us think it is still good to skim through the change request by a second pair while other's think it's just a waste of time.

I am curious to know if code review is encouraged by a second pair in following XP practices ?

Is https://typescene.dev itself developed using this framework or not ?

This is great. Would be even cool if changes are shown at code level and not line.

SendGrid was one of the easy to use SaaS product that we used when I was doing my startup. I now use Twilio in the company I work so would be happy to use SendGrid again. Congrats to SendGrid team. Awesome news!!

I decided to learn Elixir not just to learn the language but to understand how functional programming works. On my day to day job I use Java/Kotlin but in the past I have used Ruby. So, for me it makes sense to learn Elixir and apply it's good practices of functional programming to my day to day job.

After the System Design Primer by Donne Martin got quite popular on Hacker News, I contacted Donne to find out which tools he used to draw those system architecture diagram and he was kind to respond my twitter message ( that is why twitter is so great ) to tell me it it is Omnigraffle ( only available in Mac and ios. )

10 years back I used to draw UML diagrams using Visio or one of the eclipse plugins for building systems diagram. However, the software landscape has changed quite a bit. On one of the podcasts of Martin Fowler recently, he also agreed that UML is now less favored standard in the software community.

Although I use Windows on my work but for the demo of the product I was working I built the system architecture diagram using my personal mac book and transfer to my work laptop to made a presentation. There was a good feedback and no-one raised any concern with UML or (any-)standards.

So, tool or IDE is less important these days, as we tend to use multiple tools/IDE based on the technology / framework / programming languages. I use intelliJ for Java, Sublime for Ruby / Rails + Angular + Others, Visual Studio for NodeJS, Vim for scripting, etc. etc....

I still recommend people to watch this video from the man himself, Linus Torvalds, if they really want to understand the architecture and data structure behind git - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8

If I remember correctly, he mentioned that he wrote the MVP in 4 weeks and the data structures he used are quite simple. Never got a chance to look at the source code but I guess they are in github (at least the mirror copy.)

I would recommend to read - Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency

I would suggest that despite the country or the company or the culture you are working, you have to lead by example that means first you have to work hard to prove to the team that you are capable to lead them, both technical and leadership.

When you lead by example, you set the standard for code, design patterns, documentation, etc. and as you go along build the tools, infrastructure, processes and culture.

Don't expect to change everything overnight, it will take time, be patience and you have to trust people you will be working with.

Looking at the problem statement, this should be built in a Reactive style of programming and more event based. What if we need to scale this to infinite numbers for millions of clients ?

Event based programming in technology like stack is more appropriate for this kind of problem domain...

Can it also adjust the accent or tone to make it understand to the other party ? This will be really helpful if I don't have to say my name as R for rock, o for ocean ...

In my experience, consulting work of about ~ 1 year duration has been the most fulfilling project I have ever worked. It's not that I did not enjoy doing my own startup, but you have to give too much of your personal time and energy.

I had the opportunity to work with one of the government agencies, where I joined as a Lead Consultant and had to curve out the architecture, technology stacks, write boilerplate codes as platform, hired 2 Developers, work with the client to develop mockup, convert business into technical requirements, do hands-on development, make presentation to the clients for each iteration, rollout product, give training to end users and finally give credit to the team to have accomplished all these.

So, essentially it's like building a product but you will be doing all these while someone is paying you and without having to go through the financial stress. I have found this to be a great advantage over the startup.

I often envy the life of high end consulting hands-on architect who go to conferences for training, speaking, write Proof of Concept projects on new architectures/technologies, write books for various publishers and I am sure they must be earning more than any startup including equity!

I recently did an onsite interview for a company which asked me to do a homework assignment and make some code changes on the fly. The task was the most stupid I never heard of, to call a controller method from another class from a console. They called it "reusable."

After a week, the recruiter called me and told me that I am not selected due to my lack of skills in object oriented.

This is the most ridiculous feedback I ever received.

Spring as a framework has come a long way since the year 2006 when it required multiple XML files for configuration to the now Spring Boot which requires virtually zero configuration. Now it is easier to develop MVP web app using Spring Boot than Rails. With the framework such as Angular 2, people withe server side programming experience are finding it easier to develop client side app with much ease. I have found Angular 2 and Spring Boot a great combination for client server app development.

Good!

Remembers 90's when I would hooked on AIM to chat and make friends....make me cry

looks quite interesting. do they provide any fellowships or financial stipend to attend this course ?

Quite an incredible feat!
