🧵: Why software engineering is a must-have skill for data scientists!
Are you a data scientist? Are you only focusing on data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and statistics? If so, you're missing out on one of the most critical skills: software engineering!

After months of interviewing for my next #SoftwareEngineering gig, I wanted to give my two cents on the process 1/N 🧵 
Most notable for me was how drastically different the interview experience was compared to my last time job hunting 6 years ago. 2/N
Back then, my first coding interview was to implement a roman numeral parser on a whiteboard in a language of the interviewer's choice. It was an experience that felt much closer to hazing than a relevant technical assessment. 3/N

Do you want to write better, more maintainable, and more scalable code? Then you'll want to learn about the SOLID principles. In this thread, I'll be explaining each principle and why it's important for software development. Get ready to level up your coding skills! #javascript
The Single Responsibility Principle: A class should only have one reason to change. This promotes modularity and makes it easier to maintain and extend code.
The Open-Closed Principle: Software entities (classes, modules, etc.) should be open for extension but closed for modification. This helps prevent unexpected side effects from changes.
Strategy Design Pattern:
===================
The Strategy pattern is a design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm at runtime. Let's check the #Python implementation step-by-step that I learned.

How would you define "bug"?

API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message, or check the weather on your phone, you’re using an API.
What an API Also Provides Is a Layer of Security
Your phone’s data is never fully exposed to the server, and likewise the server is never fully exposed to your phone. Instead, each communicates with small packets of data, sharing only that which is necessary—like ordering takeout

How does a software engineering team determine the value of a feature? My answer in thread #startup #product #softwareengineering
The value of a feature can be determined by three variables:
Effort required (the lower, the better)
Alignment with company’s goals (the more aligned, the better)
Shelf life (the longer, the better)
Effort required (the lower, the better)
Alignment with company’s goals (the more aligned, the better)

Let’s compare two examples below:
A - A landing page that is going to take 5 weeks to build but will only be available for a week. The reason for the page is to announce a new product offering, as per company’s goals

At some point, in everyone's tech careers, the time spent on refining technical skills will lead to generating less business value.

1) Always start with a test.
Writing the test first shapes your design for the better. Starting with a test will set you up to code in an attempt to pass your test, rather than continuously going back to fix code that's tested too late, and failing.
Start as you mean to go on.

2) New project? It's TDD time.
There's no better time to start using a modern software engineering technique like TDD than when you start new work.
It's a clean slate and a chance for you to make better software and reduce wasted time.

Working in Tech and relocating to Europe or the USA is NOT about merit. Let me explain, a thread 🧵 #Programming #SoftwareEngineering
1/ People born in countries with limited accessibility to the west share a common misconception that finding a job and relocating to a western country is about merit or having above average skills.
2/ while it is true that having above average skills will open many doors for you, this is not the full story. Companies hiring in these desired destinations are looking for top talent WHILE remaining cost effective and reducing risk!

Set the bar going in
Most companies can support interns who are fresh out of college, bootcamp, or have real coding experience. Many companies can’t support interns who have never seen code. There’s a wide range in-between, make sure to find the sweet spot for your company.

I'm a network engineer, and have familiarity with network vendor's software. I also worked at Amazon for almost 17 years. AFAIK, the different mindsets around testing and who owns quality is very different and I think is very imporant. #networking #SoftwareEngineering
I've never worked at a network vendor, but I've talked to engineers in many of them. I've also hired and worked with ex-network-vendor engineers and management. Almost every single one thinks that testing and quality are the test team's responsibility, not the software team.
At Amazon/AWS, this isn't true at all. Just like with operations, for the most part the engineers who write the code own the test and the ops. I think this approach delivers much better quality and systems that are much more operatable.

2. Decrease the number of decision points (aka "cyclomatic complexity") per unit (function, method, etc).

Several days ago, I published a tweet where I asked which of these two statements was better:

Many things can be said in favor of the first statement.

#SoftwareEngineering #oop #100DaysOfCode
The first statement:
🔹 Increases readability: it expresses the intent of the code clearly.
🔹Reduces complexity: it contains only one method call.
🔹Hides implementation details: it expresses "what" the code does, not "how". 2/6

The second statement makes changes difficult.
❓ What happens if happiness must now be expressed by "jumping and barking"?
We have to apply changes in all places where statement 2 (or a similar version of it) appears.
This is how systems become *rigid* and hard to change. 3/6
