How can there be a DevOps engineer? I often see vacancies with the job title DevOps engineer and always think, this makes no sense. DevOps is all about collaboration between two different expertises.

The history of DevOps To fully understand where the need of DevOps comes from I think it is important to understand the history. This is a summary of the video "The (Short) History of DevOps" by Damon Edwards It has started in Belgium in 2007 by a guy named Patrick Debois. Back then, Patrick was a consultant with the ambition to work in any position in an IT organization. At that time he was doing a government project to execute a large data center migration. Patrick’s role in the migration was testing which positioned him between development and operations. The different ways of working between development and operations were very unsettling for Patrick because of the context switching between the two departments.

In our podcasts through the year, we've examined many of the chief…

I know that I might bore the general population with this topic, but here it comes – another post on why the past was glorious and the present sucks. Before I start, a necessary clarification: I know that „the young generation of programmers is incredibly talented, inventive, productive” and everyone expects to hear that from me. Reality is somewhat different – and you’ll see below why. We have the most sophisticated tools ever, in the history of man-kind.

If you have spent any time at all on college-level mathematics, you have probably heard of the scalar product: float scalarproduct(float * array1, float * array2, size_t length) { float sum = 0.0f; for (size_t i = 0; i < length; ++i) { sum += array1[i] * array2[i]; } return sum; } Most people who … Continue reading Can your C compiler vectorize a scalar product?
