Oh, Go Ahead, Overthink FizzBuzz (2008)
I gave the best programming interview answer I may have ever given last Friday. The interviewer hauled out FizzBuzz and asked me to solve it. It took me a minute to stop laughing. FizzBuzz is a brain-dead simple programming problem, used pretty much to tell if a developer has a pulse at all. It is…

Five years of Scala and counting: debunking some myths
I started using Scala 5 years ago instead of Java after starting (but never quite finishing) to read the first edition of Programming in Scala.

What MongoDB got right
MongoDB is perhaps the most-widely-mocked piece of software out there right now. While some of the mockery is out-of-date or rooted in misunderstandings, much of it is well-deserved, and it’s difficult to disagree that much of MongoDB’s engineering is incredibly simplistic, inefficient, and immature compared to…
