How do you grow as a (Software) Engineering Manager?

When discussing their journey as engineers, managers, VP or CTO with my friends, colleagues, and peers, a striking observation always remains: there’s a vast diversity of journeys. I used the word “journey” intentionally and not “career,” as I prefer that framing. I find it particularly restricting to picture progress as…

Your great decisions are worse than you think

As part of my ongoing attempt to formalize, characterize and apprehend the decisions that rule our lives, I had to consider different approaches to tease out a framework in which decisions could be scrutinized. My goal is to explain why decisions that we experience and witness constantly are so impractical…

This is really cool, thanks for the great writeup!

This is really cool, thanks for the great writeup! If believe there's still so much room to better analyse and leverage offline experimentation, thoroughly and diligently. Your work reminded me of a paper we published at RecSys '19, if you're fancy: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3298689.3347032

Nowadays, it has become relatively standard to state or hear that data scientists spend, or should spend, about 80% of their time on anything but data science. Rather than building models, doing some feature engineering work, or evaluating the performances of their output, some organizations will expect them to work…

The next 10 books you should consider on decision-making

Quick intro to regexp internals: think DFA

Automata theory is such a great science. No matter how abstract it can be, you can find it everywhere. From simplest recognizable langage to the most complex problems, you might want to use automaton. Today, I would like to discuss about these automata in regular expressions. For a long time…

Fix focus behavior in CIDER mode for Emacs

Today I’ve fine tuned my Emacs setup which hasn’t evolved for a while. Digging into emacs24 packages, testing rainbow-delimiters, customizing company-mode, etc. As a Clojure beginner, I’m discovering joy of programming lisp-languages within my favorite $EDITORas well. Then I’ve played with CIDER, a Clojure IDE and REPL for Emacs. As…
