Architects’s dream, Developer’s nightmare

Great article by Martin Fowler on Dr.Dobb’s about Errant Architectures.

As a (lead) developer/tech lead/application architect this probably happened to you before: you start on a new project and the first day you arrive, the (enterprise) architect shows you proudly his nice architecture; you know; this thing with all the arrows and boxes.

You hear the architect explaining; “…And every box runs on its own server…” “…bla bla bla…” “…And performance is critical…”.

Now without hearing any other part of the conversation, you know you are in trouble. Especially if some micro services flavor is added to the mix. This is a recipe for disaster. The architect forgot the First Law of Distributed Object Design: Don’t distribute your objects!

But how you are going to tell this to the architect, especially on your first day on the job?

The answer is simple, forward the link about this article to your architect.  Glimlach

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…

Azure DevOps/ GitHub emoji

I’m really bad at remembering emoji’s. So here is cheat sheet with all emoji’s that can be used in tools that support the github emoji markdown markup: All credits go to rcaviers who created this list.
