Estimates of the time needed to implement a software task are often given in whole hours (i.e., no minutes), with round numbers being preferred. Surprisingly, reported actual implementation times also share this ‘preference’ for whole hours and round numbers (around a third of short task estimates are accurate, so it is to be expected that around a third of actual implementation times will be some number of whole hours, at least for the small percentage of projects that record task imple...| The Shape of Code

Scala gives us a lot of power. We can easily model things with classes and OOP, we can pull in functional libraries and model everything with functions and values, we can implement a stateless monolith or a distributed system. And today we have a lot of books and tutorials that cover these topics: how to glue the code together to create a maintainable application with raw Futures/Akka/Cats ecosystem/Zio ecosystem/Scala as typed Python.| kubuszok.com
