A bad way to design your software

A bad way to design your software is to expose sensitive information to the end user, who might be a potential attacker.

That is why you need to invest in quality specialists who will not only design the solution but also take their time to test it thoroughly!

One more example of a poor design. The service should connect to a register to verify the public key for authorization, but something went wrong and timeout.

I can clearly see that there was an expiration error, but the root cause might be wrong arguments send to the register. The application team should have received from the other service instructions about that change.

Here you can observe both issues with the product management on the receiving end and the issue of project management on the person responsible for the integration of the solution. As well as issue exposing the underlying software implementation by observing the stack trace.

Where is the performance and load testing

I am reading the book “That will never work” by the founder of Netflix. From a technical point of view, something that really intrigues me is their launch process. The engineering team proposed an increase in server bandwidth to accommodate a higher request volume; however, the business unit expressed uncertainty regarding the projected demand. This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach. Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
