This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.
Agree? Disagree? Feel free to let me know at @JanStette. See also my blog at www.janvsmachine.net.
Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.

From time to time, Musk will send out an e-mail to the entire company to enforce a new policy or let them know about something that's bothering him. One of the more famous e-mails arrived in May 2010 with the subject line: Acronyms Seriously Suck:
There is a creeping tendency to use made up acronyms at SpaceX. Excessive use of made up acronyms is a significant impediment to communication and keeping communication good as we grow is incredibly important. Individually, a few acronyms here and there may not seem so bad, but if a thousand people are making these up, over time the result will be a huge glossary that we have to issue to new employees. No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on new employees.
That needs to stop immediately or I will take drastic action - I have given enough warning over the years. Unless an acronym is approved by me, it should not enter the SpaceX glossary.

| Subject: [PATCH] Added a simple Maybe monad. | |
| This is a rather simple implementation of the Maybe monad [1] / Option type [2]. | |
| It only provides the absolute bare-minimum instead of providing a fully blown | |
| functional programming library. | |
| Using this class allows you to turn code such as this: |

Every couple of weeks, I hear someone complaining about some difficulties with Bundler. Yesterday, it happened twice. But somehow I just never have those difficulties. I'm not saying Bundler is perfect; certainly in its early days it wasn't even close. But for the past two years it's been incredibly solid and trouble-free for me, and I think a large part of the reason is the way I use it. Bundler arguably does too much, and just as with Git, a big part of it is knowing what not to do, and configuring things to avoid the trouble spots.
