I am building a foundational layer for building C++ apps using Bazel.

I am working on creating a standardized set of paths and third party libraries that work seamlessly across multiple developer teams. Allowing library upgrades to happen transparently in the background. This will enable developers to focus on business specific logic and not have to worry about the intricacies of the build system and allowing to "magically" work in the background. This is allow foray into Bazel and using it as a learning exercise to master it.

The author of the article should replace software engineer with software developer. Not being a gatekeeper but this is the proper term for the role described in the article.

I find the concept of Curve pools (liquidity pools) like UST/3CRV, dual token systems, algorithmic pegged stablecoins, and services like Achor very complicated to follow. Is there any good literature that I can read the help understand the relationship between these components. Do they map existing components in traditional finance?

What I'm Up to Now 5 years ago

Does he have a public github repo? I would love to see some of the code that he writes or projects that he has worked on.

I have recently taken up a project to build out a dashboard for realtime data analytics. I did some exploratory research of the available data analytics frameworks mainly in Python. I found Plotly to be very popular. How much extra work would it be to just use D3 on the frontend with a standard python web server on the backend versus using just the Plotly library?

This happened to my girlfriend's checking account last week. She was charged an overdraft fee because auto pay decided to charge two days earlier. Then all traces of the transaction magically disappeared from her transaction history. Luckily, she took some screenshots of it. We just shrugged it off but I'm going to investigate it now.

What are the qualifications for becoming a maintainer? Is the bar set high? Is there a vetting process? I am interested but I'm not sure they will accept just anyone as a maintainer.

The key here is "developer". A web developer can learn to write code for a pretty website. This only requires very basic knowledge and essentially no math is involved.

In contrast, an engineer or computer scientist capable of working as an applied mathematician definitely requires an advance degree. I laugh when webdevs call themselves engineers.
