ACM Queue's George V. Neville-Neil (A.K.A. "Kode Vicious") makes a humorous attempt at matching computer code phenotypes to their writer's emotional state while writing them. There is a kernel of truth, or at least relateability, in his musings.

"Analyzing Krazy Kode
Accounting for the emotional state of the person who wrote that code"

This short article by ACM Queue's George Neville (a.k.a. Kode Vicious) underlines one of the many problems with dynamically-typed programming languages such as JavaScript and Python. Variable type coercions in such languages can and will exhibit unintended behavior under the right circumstances.

Using statically-typed languages such as TypeScript can alleviate this problem.

"Certifying people in DevOps is like celebrating their graduation from kindergarten. "Congratulations! You learned not to eat the crayons and to play nicely with the other children!""

Amazing quote from an insightful article by Bridget Kromhout in #acmqueue about #devops, #containers, and how #technology won't fix your people problems (nor should you try to use it that way).
