We’re all stories, in the end.

Hello everyone, my name is Ana Paula, but as I like to use pseudonyms in my blogs,  so my name here will be The Doctor.

I like programming classes, but I tend to have issues in those due to the fact that I have anxiety and I do like the things to work perfectly. Also, this is because I tend to compare myself to everyone else. Anyway, nowadays I know what I am capable of and that I have friends that support me and that asking the teacher for extra help is not bad. However, what I expect of this class is to be just as the first class where we learned and play to reinfoce the knowledge.

What I like is music, reading, and dancing. You can see me every day with a book in my hands and my headphones in the other. My favorite book is "the stranger" by Albert Camus because I have always thought that I do not belong to. Lately I've been  reading classic books and some  about philosophy, and the  one that has catched my attention  is  " The Russian Revolution"  by Leon Trotsky. 

My favorite band is thirty seconds to Mars and many Mexican rock bands. I also play the guitar and people would think that I like to play that kind of songs. Nevertheless, I do like to play but old Mexican music such as boleros. Anyway, you can see me at many concerts just enjoying the way music flows.

Beside that cultural side that I have, I tend to watch movies and TV series with my mom, especially cooking ones and mistery. I'm a true fan of Master Chef,  and I laugh out loud  with these programs  due to the fact  that I know how to cook, and  that my grandfather  has taught me  to cook cakes and desserts.  The last ones we watched were "Sugar Rush", "One day at a Time" and "Mr. Robot". 

I hope that people would enjoy reading this blog and I hope they understand some of the references that I will use.

What we should do?

Nowadays we think that computer science is a big factory, where even though that our offices are fancy and do not look like an office, we just program to generate more code, so get more money.  In this case, we think that coding is just an alone activity that does not include more activities, such as the whole software engineering process or something like that. As we have known,  there is a process that we should follow to generate code in a more efficient way and something that our users really need and when they need it. As time goes by, there was a point where we thought that cascade method was the ultimate idea and that its use was gonna stay forever and that its use was something that we will need to use for a while. We might get this idea from other engineers where they just get the requirements at one point and to change just for special moments accept the change. The basis is of this idea is that these type of engineers have got just enough time to really see...

A kid? A kid just broke my program?

LNowadays is common to think that anyone can use your software. In this group of anyone, there is the group of people who know and people who doesn't. We, as software engineers, need to take I to consideration both sides because just anyone can get access to  information that might not be for them. A clear example of that is Netflix, which includes a restriction for kids, or YouTube and even Facebook. To get to that point we need to think in our users,  and what they could do. In software engineering there are many methods to create these elements and to really analyze if they are really necessary restrictions or add-ons. On the other hand, we need to take into consideration the data that we are managing and to really send it in the correct way  to avoid people who steal our information even though that we are not that famous or important. In the case of the movie  War Games, set at the begining of the internet connection as a service, who anyone can access just by...

Nowadays we tend to talk about elements of service  as components and big companies tend to create new ways to sell you just what you need with the name " microservice". In this case what they tell you is that the whole thing they offer you, you can choose what you need or what you can pay.  An important company that does that is Amazon which created a big infrastructure for developers to use. In this case, they include many elements such as database management, access management, and so on. This is an important improvement in life due to the fact that companies do not need to buy everything or rent something bigger for their needs. I consider that microservice is an important element in our life due to the fact that tech companies do not have the infrastructure needed to really show what they need. In this case, bigger companies just offer what they need. This is an important fact because technology changes every day and to be up to date is really expensive and we n...
