Re: Gregory Szorc's Digital Home | On Algorithms and Interviewing

Completely agree (as a hiring manager). Questions about algorithms or code this from memory are a good way to test hiring managers. If they ask for that, they are too stupid to manage you (unless your job is only focused on writing algorithms/code from memory - basically an imaginary job).

Thank you - this is great! I figured my JSON was likely too complex, but it handled it beautifully.

Instead of dockerizing nginx try Traefik instead. It's a great docker oriented reverse proxy.

Looking forward to the RC. Very much looking forward to seeing the new CLI tooling. Thank you!

This book is Awesome! Thank you so much for writing it and being so responsive to requests for additional material and elaboration on various topics. It is my goto resource for Aurelia documentation now. I only use the Aurelia Docs now for API info.

Re: Bundling Aurelia Applications – Foursails Technology Group

Confused by: gulp.task('serve', ['build', 'unbundle'] wouldn't this try to run build and unbundle at the same time? Won't this cause problems? Seems like it should run unbundle and then build.

In your github repo with the new Issue templates Github has released - probably a good idea to template how to refer to locations in your book - page numbers don't work with continually updated versions plus ePubs don't have stable page numbers.

How do you pass query parameters with this? this.router.navigateToRoute('routename', {id: 123});

A good example for mapUknownRoutes would be greatly appreciated as well as a lot more detail on creating router pipeline steps.

Patrick Walters showed me this approach for DI:

```
static inject=[OpenbelapiService, UserState, Router];
constructor(api, state, router) {
```
I like it because I don't have to import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework' and it keeps the injection next to the constructor which makes it easier for me to see what's injected and used in the constructor and keep the order correct.

I checked your Github repos to see if you'd created the repo for feedback but I didn't see it yet. Enjoying your book so far. Already told one of my team to buy it as well :) ADDED GITHUB REPO FOR FEEDBACK: https://github.com/Vheissu/...

Re: Create Tests via Parametrization (2016) — pytest-tricks

Nice example. I saw some code recently that also demonstrated marking some of the parameters with a fail marker. Could you add that to your example?

Re: Learn to code, it’s harder than you think

wshayes — Sat, 19 Dec 2015 10:19:31 -0000

Really good insights. Brings it home when you start inserting doctor, architect, lawyer in for developer in the Learn to X conversation. Sadly it's one of the few professions that you can bootstrap into - everything else requires expensive schooling with high barriers to entry with performance/aptitudes requirements that are comparable. If your profession was created in the old guild days (doctor, architect, lawyer, plumber), it is managed closely and requirements are tight to get into the guild. In programming, you are judged on your merits only without guild protection for the profession.

Re: ES7 async/await with Aurelia

wshayes — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:09:40 -0000

I can never get async/await to work without adding the es7.asyncFunctions to build/babel-options.js as seen below:

stage: 2,
optional: [
"es7.decorators",
"es7.classProperties",
"es7.asyncFunctions",
"runtime"
]

I keep getting regeneratorRuntime not defined errors when I set up my config.js like yours? Any ideas why? This is how I've had to set it up: http://blog.williamhayes.or... I would very much prefer to only touch the config.js file.

Re: Creating Multipage Apps using Aurelia

wshayes — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 06:57:30 -0000

That seems so simple now - AFTER you explained it :) Nice job explaining this. I definitely see the advantages of the 'enhance' functionality, but I agree with you that there are not a lot of reasons for doing a multi-page app.

Re: From Angular to Aurelia Part 4: Page Lifecycle

wshayes — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 06:54:20 -0000

Thanks for this overview of the routing/page activation cycle - it was very clear. There is also the the bind, attach, view, ??? lifecycle. A post on the two separate cycles and when you use what and why would be fantastic!

Nice post!

BTW - can you change globalizeResources to globalResources for latest version of Aurelia to reduce confusion?

Thank you Jeremy, always really helpful and to the point examples on how to use Aurelia!

Re: Driving excellence with values not rules

wshayes — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 06:42:48 -0000

Great post with excellent points. It's not about the rules, it's always about the people and alignment with goals. I had always understood DevOps to mean integrating automation/code deployment into IT Operations which you are definitely doing. It can also mean pushing Ops into the Dev teams, but I don't see that scaling well. Your approach of centralizing that and providing DevOps engineers to support the Dev teams as needed sounds like it will scale well as long as the goals don't drift.

IT Ops groups sometimes have a tendency to start treating the hardware/systems as if they are the end goal rather than the means to the goal. That is a trait you are aware of and aggressively working against. Kudos to you and your team!

I've been very impressed with EVERYTHING about Intercom - and learning as much from you all as I can - from customer engagement, Dev and Ops. Thank you!

Looking specifically at the Nuro theme. Didn't realize the comments are against all themes. Need to know what versions of Bootstrap, Django and Mezzanine this is compatible with. Thanks!

Re: Doctors might not really have a grasp on the art of diagnosis

wshayes — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:42:28 -0000

It's not that a mistake was made. It was more that there were more than 10 mistakes made in a row. The same type of thing happened to me (over 15 months or so) where I was lucky enough to have get a new GP (since my other one was on maternity leave - which might have saved my life - a year with very little sleep had left me in a bad way) who reviewed my case after a neurologist, neuropathic pain specialist, and a couple of other doctors whom I'm now forgetting due to the lack of sleep my condition led to. The neurologist, since he couldn't figure out what the problem was, assumed it was all in my head (and said so - in the process of referring me to a psychiatrist).

My new GP at the time, Dr Karkalas in KoP, PA (EXCELLENT Doctor) who spends his nights reviewing his patients' challenging conditions, figured out that the rib/back pain I was feeling with great clarity was due to referred pain from a nerve in my esophagus being enervated due to acid reflux disease. The symptom of pain coming on after laying down for 2-3 hours to sleep with almost an electric current feel from my spine around a rib to the sternum was completely baffling since it hadn't been seen before by the other physicians.

We shouldn't plan for a system that relies upon brilliance in an unsustainable fashion. Also, we get what we measure - Med School metrics are more focused on excellent memories - best for recognizing patterns already known.

Re: Doctors might not really have a grasp on the art of diagnosis

wshayes — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:51:31 -0000

It's completely unrealistic to believe that a human being can understand all of the complexities of the human biology in a diseased state. Yet, that is exactly what we expect from doctors. We should provide strong decision support technologies (decision support diagnostic/treatment software, team-based medicine and molecular-based diagnostics) and require their use. The healthcare system is designed around the mystique of doctors and their god-like powers in regards to medicine which is a major mistake and has truly limited our ability to provide high-quality and efficient healthcare.
