46 Mapas debaixo do sol!
“O #JornalMAPA 46 sai para as ruas já com um partido fascista como segunda força política no parlamento da democracia representativa e não podia deixar de olhar para esse fenómeno, assim como ao à vontade da extrema-direita grupuscular. Por outro lado, porque é quando se fecham portas que se abrem janelas, decidimos focar especialmente em lugares de dissidência. A luta queer é um dos exemplos da importância de reclamar a origem utópica e radical das resistências. E hoje, contra o pinkwashing dos EuroPrides, afirma-se a solidariedade com a Palestina, que nunca será esquecida.
Neste mundo e num país em que o autoritarismo ganha força, importa manter um olhar sobre quem procure activamente fazer a sua vida de outro modo cultivando a autonomia. Nesse ponto não podíamos deixar de destacar o recém-saído documentário «Agroecologia em movimento», de João Garrinhas, um retrato sobre o movimento português das Associações para a Manutenção da Agricultura de Proximidade (AMAP), sobre grupos auto-organizados de produtorxs e consumidorxs. Entrevistamos, ainda neste contexto, a nova revista Poucaterra, que pugna por acesso à terra, agroecologia e convivialidade (uma leitura a juntar à revista Flauta de Luz, com o nº 11 já nas livrarias).”

18 rules of Software Engineering
- You will regret complexity when on-call
- Stop falling in love with your own code
- Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
- Everyone hates code they didn’t write
- Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
- Coding standards prevent arguments
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Don’t ever stop learning new things
- Code reviews spread knowledge
- Always build for maintainability
- Ask for help when you’re stuck
- Fix root causes, not symptoms
- Software is never completed
- Estimates are not promises
- Ship early, iterate often
- Keep. It. Simple.
Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.
