ACCU 2024 : Symmetry in Code - Should We Care? - Victor Ciura

Why should we be concerned with symmetry. Symmetry is fascinating to the human mind and everyone likes objects or patterns that are in some way symmetrical. It is an interesting fact that nature often exhibits certain kinds of symmetry in the objects and phenomena in our Universe

Barry Stahl-AZGiveCamp Founder Jul 3, 2023

Calling a synchronous API instead of an asynchronous one is like making a phone call instead of sending a text message. It will work much of the time, and has 1 or 2 advantages, but when it doesn't work, it requires special processes to recover from, or the task just falls out of scope and is forgotten.

#Asynchrony almost always improves #reliability.
