The Universal Data Structure
Whether you write compilers, web services or Django admin panels, you probably use hash maps more than all other data structures combined.

We Looked for Work as a Software Development Team
Part of this story is a common one. Established company in an industry undergoing major disruption hires developers to innovate back to viability. Management lacks clear vision of what that means and so chops and changes ( not pivots, that’s something else) technology strategy several times. After two years of hard…
