How to Not Lose Your Job to Low-Code Software

The uptake of low code software is so strong that it will almost certainly make its way into your organization. Most software engineers shouldn’t be concerned about this because they are good at the things that low code software is not yet good at. The key to surviving and thriving during this change is ensuring that your role encompasses responsibilities that low code can’t yet do.

Consistency, Coupling, and Complexity at the Edge

Successful use of a microservices architecture requires maintaining a clear separation of concerns in the various layers and by employing design principles best suited to each layer. While RESTful API design has become the standard for microservices, it can cause problems at the UI layer. Alternatives such as the Backend-for-Frontend pattern using GraphQL can provide better separation of concerns.

The Excel Formula Language Is Now Turing-Complete

The Excel team announced LAMBDA, a new feature that lets users define and name formula functions. LAMBDA functions admit parameters, can call other LAMBDA functions and recursively call themselves. With LAMBDA, the Excel formula language is Turing-complete: user-defined functions can thus compute anything without resorting to imperative languages (e.g., VBA, JavaScript).

Benefits of Loosely Coupled Deep Learning Serving

As deep networks are becoming more specialized and resource-hungry, serving such networks on acceleration hardware in tight-budget environments is also becoming difficult. Instead of using API frameworks, loosely coupled components can be preferred as an alternative. They bring high controllability, easy adaptability, transparent observability, and cost-effectiveness when serving deep networks.

Using a DDD Approach for Validating Business Rules

If the goal is to create software applications that emulate the behavior of domain experts, then the challenge is in capturing and implementing the business rules. This is more a factor of good knowledge management than it is raw coding ability. Following techniques from Domain-Driven Design can provide a structure for effectively validating and implementing business rules in a system.
