Building software
Seven attributes of good software: simple, consistent, composable, scalable, obvious, communicative, and accommodating. Some old and new ideas mixed together in one place.

In most companies, activity is driven by the org chart. That’s how decisions are made, communicated, and acted on. That’s why it’s hard to scale as a company grows. Deep org charts give structure to huge hierarchies of people, but they’re not great for executing on projects.

I hate some of these modern systems where you type up a lowercase letter and it becomes a capital. I don't want a capital, if I'd wanted a capital, I would have typed the capital.

The beauty of finished software
In a world where constant change is the norm, finished software —a software you can use forever with no unneeded change —provides a breath of fresh air. It’s a reminder that reliability, consistency, and user satisfaction can coexist in the realm of software development.
Replication lag occurs when there is a delay between a write operation being executed on the primary (leader) node and the same operation being replicated to the secondary (follower) nodes.
Replication lag is a basic issue in leader-based replication systems that are made for better availability, scalability, and faster response times by spreading out read operations across replicas in different locations.
