Golang FINALLY introduces GENERICS (aka templates, aka type parameters) in release 1.18 (in Feb 2022)

I remember the early 2000s when generics where added to C#, and how they were awaited…

These days Go is my favourite language for writing highly-scalable solutions and generics are the key thing I’ve been waiting for. They should significantly simplify design of the apps in some cases.

My mind map with key things you should know:

Do you use daily standup meetings?

How standard daily standups are organized

Everyone (one-by-one) is asked about: yesterday activities, today activities, blockers.

But this approach has common problem: people are not always listen to others! Because the next person thinks what to say when it’s their turn.

There is a better model - “Walking the Board”

Discuss every ticket on the board one-by-one. The person who worked on the ticket says a few words, can raise any problems that are immediately addressed.

Recently Saxo Bank published their outrageous predictions for 2022 (and beyond). I also watched the clarifications of chief investment officer, Steen Jacobsen. Very brave and honest! 👍

Here’s my quick overview of the main points:

• Governments do not have a clear plan for the transition to a green future. So, oil and gas still reign. Meanwhile, many billions will be buried in ESG hype.
• Facebook is for oldies. TikTok (and/or other new social platforms) will kill it.
• US faces with crisis: election, integrity, markets volatility, and declining dollar influence
• 15% inflation in USD, and market expects higher rates soon
• New episode of “Star Wars” is beginning with the latest hypersonic missile tests. Military tech will get huge dollar
• Life expectancy extends by 25 years. This will pose new challenges for pension funds and tax systems, the environment, and many new ethical questions.
