Hi, fellow Focused Generalist; it’s time for a new post! 👋🏾 Developer pain when moving to a new codebase You’ve likely spent hours, or even days, trying to set up your environment for a new codebase. That experience worsens when you scavenge through out-of-date documentation. Then you’re left hoping someone on the team remembers how […]
Resiliency against change & avoiding regression The real cost of software isn’t the initial development, but the maintenance over time. In time, the requirements will change, there will be new feature requests and the business might change direction. With all those undeniable changes coming to the code, there’s a real need to make the systems […]

When you’re designing a performance-sensitive computer system, it is important to have an intuition for the relative costs of different operations. How much does a network I/O cost, compared to a disk I/O, a load from DRAM, or an L2 cache hit? How much computation does it make sense…
Performance engineering has been something I’ve been pushing at my job for the past few months. We’ve had performance issues that needed to be solved and it felt like even if we fixed them, we could still get hit by a regression. So that’s when I started to research online to find a solution to […]
Hi everyone, Presentation made by Jeff Dean, the current leader of the Google AI division Each talk bring excellent points to keep in mind while designing a system that will scale at large We can exclude the information related solely on distributed systems and focus on the common principles for software design Designs, Lessons and […]
Hey guys, What are extension methods ? Extension methods are quite simple to understand and they can be quite useful in time of needs. An extension method give you the power to create a new method for any type that you would like. They’re static methods designed to extend the capabilities of a type without […]
Hi there readers, So, we’re finally getting into the final pilar of object oriented programming, polymorphism. It’s a strange word at first, but we get use to it pretty fast. What does the word polymorphism mean? The root of polymorphism is traced back to the greeks. Poly means many and morphism mean forms. Basically, polymorphism […]
Hi there readers, We have talked about the first principle of object oriented programming in an earlier post. Now, it would be time to talk about the second one, inheritance. In the normal world, we talk about inheritance when one is about to receive some piece of land or a title from a loved one […]
Hi there readers, We’ll begin our journey down the road of oriented object programming with the first principle: encapsulation. When we create a software, we have multiple pieces of data which communicate with each other to do exactly what we wish to achieve. While we would love to live in a world were the users […]
Hi readers, First of all, I’d like to wish you to have a wonderful holidays with your family, wherever you are at this moment. During the first lectures, we went over some of the basics of programming. Even though it might have seen like a lot, it was just the core fundamentals we needed to […]
Welcome reader, We haven’t create an application since the start of the programming basics. It is sort of a ritual that the first program that a programmer writes will print of the screen the following : “Hello World!”. So, we are actually going to write this as our first console application. Open your IDE and […]
Welcome reader, We’ll follow where we left off when we’ve talked about variables. When you are behind you screen, there is a lot more going on then just writing lines in the IDE to make you computer do something.  There are a set of rules that you should always stick to make your code clearer. Before, […]
Welcome reader, This is the first part of a mini-serie to introduce the basics of programming with C#. Don’t forget to look at my GitHub account. I haven’t decide yet, but surely I will create a project which will resume every topic that I’ve talked about during the Programming basics serie. So, we’re finally there, […]
