A circuit-switched email network

A circuit-switched email network 09/22/2004 04:52 PM
Right now the global email network is pretty much a large scale packet-switched network. Packets (emails) are passed from node to node, on a potentially dynamically changing path, until they reach the endpoint. Individual hops are synchronous but the system on the whole is asynchronous. (Deferrals.)

Post-circuit-switched voicemail

Post-circuit-switched voicemail 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
Nice rant on how "circuit-switched" thinking is holding back advancement in telephony:

Assume a phone call requires an (extremely generous) 3Kb per second of audio. One hour of stored audio is about 10Mb of data. This is a pretty modest amount by the standards of modern flash memeory. Your mobile phone is perfectly capable of storing all your voicemail. The network is perfectly capable of transmitting the data in a sensible amount of time. Unlike email, most voicemail is listened to -- the amount of wasted download is small...

You should be able to listen to voicemails on your plane journey home. You should be able to reply to them on a store-and-forward basis, even when you're not connected to the network. And most of all, you shouldn't have to use a clunky telephony user interface to navigate a message queue. And you shouldn't be restricted to one device for accessing your own data.

The Effect of Environment on Code
Quality

The Effect of Environment on Code
Quality 04/03/2005 11:54 PM

A few months ago, I read Steve McConnell's book "Code Complete". It is, without a doubt, the best book on programming I have ever read. It doesn't matter what platform you code in, this book will help you do it better. An absolute goldmine.

Besides down-and-dirty coding strategies, McConnell discusses "soft" skills at the end of the book. Things like personal character — I don't care how much of a .Net ninja you are, if you can't admit it when you screw up, that's something that compromises your abilities as a programmer.

He also discusses how to get the best out of programmers, and he mentions the book "Peopl eware, of which Joel Spolsky has always been a huge fan. Spolsky cited the book in the development of his "bioni c office." I've always meant to read it.

On page 684 (second edition), McConnell reprints an eye-opening table from Peopleware. It's the results of survey questions posed to programmers, and it showed the difference in answers between the top 25% of programmers, and bottom 25% of programmers. Here goes:

Environmental Factor	Top 25%	Bottom 25%
Dedicated floor space	87 sq. ft.	46 sq. ft.
Acceptably quiet workspace	57% yes	29% yes
Acceptable private workspace	62% yes	19% yes
Ability to silence phone	52% yes	10% yes
Ability to divert calls	76% yes	19% yes
Frequent needless interruptions	38%yes	76% yes
Workspace that makes programmer feel appreciated	57% yes	29% yes

Pretty telling results, but I wonder about cause and effect. Are they great programmers because they have such perks, or do they have such perks because they're great programmers?
