Who Needs an Architect?

First of all, I think all kind of enterprises wether is small or big need an architect. I think the author was a little confused or maybe not, but surely he confused me in a way. In his quest for discovering the true meaning of "an architect", I discover mine. I agreed with the second definition he gave “architecture is the set of design decisions that must be made early in a project.”

Trough time one thing I have grasped is that mistakes in code or in life cost even more while time pass. The only answers I have read in my classes is that think twice, code once. The idea of having a software architect is amazing, he'll help to achieve a deeper level of abstraction. This concept that I have just mentioned "think twice, code once" maybe sounds pretty obvious, and maybe an architect has more important concepts than these, but for not architects, I think it can help to understand what an architect does. He gave the design and helps with future loopholes it may encounter.

Lucky me, I'm in an architecture class, and I'm still understanding the concept of a software architect, I can imagine people who aren't taking this kind of classes, they may be suffering. This lecture's not the kind I will recommend even for me that I'm taking a course, and still, perhaps I'm just as confused as they and I just don't know yet.

Summary, software architects rocks. They made our programming life much easier, so much easier.

Ethical Reflection on Ready Player One

Morrow wrote in his autobiography that he’d left GSS because ... he felt that the OASIS had evolved into something horrible. “It had become a self-imposed prison for humanity,” he wrote. “A pleasant place for the world to hide from its problems while human civilization slowly collapses, primarily due to neglect.” (p. 120) I deeply agree with this quote, I believe that the world would hide its problems inside Oasis, we can see that the world it's collapsing when you see the conditions in which Parzival was living on, he was living in a kinda dump. I'd love to test the Oasis and see how VR has grown. For me VR it's an incredible technology we can take advantage of, currently, I'm taking a class of VR and I can say I'm really impressed how much it has grown, it's really like if you are in another world. Sometimes I forget where I am and nowadays VR it's not as developed as in Ready Player One, so I understand how easy it can get to lost in the game.  I ...

Software Craftsmanship

Having working software is not enough. We need to have well-crafted software. This is one of the many interesting points  Uncle Bob  focused on his interview in the  software engineering radio podcast . He is a software engineer who co-wrote the Manifesto Software and leads “Uncle Bob Consulting LLC” and “Clean Coders” companies where he hosts videos based on his experiences and books, also he writes and consults codes. He became an architect and designed for a while but after that, he left it because it wasn`t his thing, despite this, he thinks that  architects shouldn’t be separated from the coders because  if they will separate them, architects make important decisions but they don’t know how to react because they aren't coding experts. (If all the team Will be architects, they should make wise decisions) Then Bob starts to explain about software craftsmanship which is an approach to  software development  that emphasizes the coding skills...

Hidden Figures

So this it's the second time I have seen Hidden Figures and I can say without a doubt this movie it's amazing, it's a sensitive movie, you can see the racism in its major expression, but also you can see how all we are equal, we have the same capacity no matter our colour or race. For me, it's incredible how technology was advancing and we can see in one part in the movie, where they buy a new IBM mainframe which can make thousands of multiplications in seconds. The team responsible for doing that work started to learn how to program that mainframe if they would sit and relax they would have been fired as soon as the computers started working.  We can see how important were women in the Mercury project, without doubt, if it was not for her the project would have been a total fail. Thanks to her the moon landing was possible, as in the Mercury project she was responsible for the calculations of the Apolo 11 which led us to the first moonwalking.  It's hard t...
