After spending the first 20 years of my career doing "waterfall" development, I would say that the agile approach to software development is by far the greatest gain. Getting management/PMs to accept and embrace change is HUGE. I've been writing code for a living since 1981, so I've lived through a LOT of change in the SW dev world. Online resources as opposed to having to buy and read massive programming books was also a game changer.

@NostraDavid2 2 месяца назад

True, but agile is from the early 00s - not part of the last 20 years. Git is just barely part of it still.

@m13v2 2 месяца назад

and the xp root of agile goes back to the start of personal, interactive computing (smalltalk, flex, sketchpad) and the scrum root to lean (tqm, tps, sqc, scientific management). the sad thing being that agile and even software development have turned into a pop culture. i mean who still knows that oop is an approach to extensible languages by which programmers create dsls in which users can build their own applications? the term „continuous delivery“ is one of the problems because it’s distracting from „continuous improvement“, one of the core lean principles.

@skyhappy 2 месяца назад

@GDScriptDude 2 месяца назад

@@skyhappy I think that he is referring to documentation which I agree is game-changing compared to the old days of having to buy books and hope that the book was good. Also, we have online playgrounds for learning to code and trying out even regex.

It is better to use a word "Containerization" instead of "Docker", because you can use containers without the docker.

@carnicer78 2 месяца назад

also I would not mix github with git, there are 2 different things and of course there are other platforms that do cloud git wrapping + other services such as CI/CD + task management like gitlab & bitbucket

@mhzprayer 2 месяца назад

Maybe it goes back slightly more than 20 years, but I would definitively say online training videos. Learning tutorials, standards, pitfalls practices, all that stuff is amazingly easier than it used to be. Or maybe that's included in "cloud". Although it is a bit of a double-edged sword, I think the lowered barrier to learning is by far the best improvement in programming.

@@siyabongampongwana990 true, though Mercurial developed in the same time by other Linux team is pretty good as well. And also one might argue that BitKeeper, which was used previously by Linux kernel was such too, just not open source. That being said, git is a good distributed non-linear system, but not everybody need this kind of system. Especially in companies, linear, centralized system might be better

Docker is above LLMs because it solves the problem of trying to set up certain AI/ML stacks on your local system without going insane in the first place

@NatPryce Месяц назад

Hi Dave. I'm the one / one of the ones who answered your question with "software-defined networking". The reason is that you asked for developments in the last 20 years. Other features of cloud computing (virtualisation, renting compute time, etc.) were invented more than twenty years ago. But I can't imagine cloud platforms without software defined networking.

@THEMithrandir09 2 месяца назад

I'm slowly warming up to the idea that Nix is the mature docker you're talking about.

@MrSnivvel 26 дней назад

Anisble would be the answer because it works on the entire vertical stack on systems and infrastructure. Nix doesn't work on any sort of networking gear or storage arrays.

@chakala2149 2 месяца назад

As a C# Developer, something missing from containers is F5 into the container and F5 into the cluster.

@daverooneyca 2 месяца назад

LLMs are indeed interesting, but I'm not at all sold on whether they're the biggest thing in the last 20 years. Similarly, when I look at teams using Docker and K8S, it seems like they spend a very significant portion of their time troubleshooting Docker and K8S rather than building solutions to customer problems. 😀

@qj0n 2 месяца назад

If team understands how docker or k8s work, it can solve a lot of problems for them. But far too often people assume they can read some quick introduction and will look for solutions when they have a problem. And then they have a huge mess everywhere, problems start happening at random and no one can find their root cause without huge cleanup

@TheEvertw 2 месяца назад

I missed the questionaire, but I do think that Rust programming language is an import development. It being the first language that is both efficient and has fundamentally solved memory leaks and race conditions. And that it has solved these issues simply by using the features of a powerful type system is mind-blowing. It will take some time to grow in popularity, but I think Rust has a very bright future ahead.

There's no one on the face of the earth who hates Perforce more than me. I've lost days of coding changes and then been victim blamed saying I probably hit a wrong button. I've lost weeks of work because perforce SAID it synced changes but just decided to leave some files in a bad state. It is the only software product I know where killing the process in task manager is basically a daily requirement.

@rothbardfreedom 2 месяца назад

Freaking Linus came up with Linux AND Git An interview of Farley with him would be awesome

@qj0n 2 месяца назад

Git was a game changer for open source (though to be honest, Mercurial developed at the same time by another Linux kernel team would be good to) But in enterprise environment, its design choices are far from perfect and promote useless practices like excessive playing with branches, contrary to linear version control like p4s or tfs, which promote something more like trunk based development. Some features were developed in git to overcome its drawbacks - like git lfs or submodules, but these are clunky and often not supported by tooling... Probably, if open source developed a good alternative focusing on enterprise, not open source, it might take off. But open source develop from perspective of open source, so it won't happen ;)

Total agree with git being number 1 but I'm amazed REST API's and JSON did not appear anywhere on the list!?? Along with git the first time I read about and tried REST it was so obviously the correct approach especially compared to what came before. 3rd for me was CI/CD using gitlab more than github tbh, those three paradigm shifts have had massively the biggest impact of software development in the last 10-15 years

@NostraDavid2 2 месяца назад

@2k10clarky 2 месяца назад

@@NostraDavid2 Doing some checking JSON and REST API's look to have been totally bleeding edge new technology in the early 2000's (JSON proposed and named in 2001 and Ebay the first commercial REST API in 2001/2 closely follow by amazon and flkr in 2004) by the mid 00's they were gaining some traction so I think its reasonable to include them in the last 20 years timeframe.

8:59 we don’t have a cloud based language yet. In the same way that we can easily invoke any functionality of a local PC from the one program, in theory we should be able to do the same across multiple PCs. We shouldn’t need infrastructure configuration and docker files and kubernetes files. They could all be managed within the code.
