Interesting rant on the Delphi cross platform situation, for which this is a reminder to see how the current situation is after 2.5 years: [WayBack] The ARC vs non-ARC situation adds yet another layer of complexity to creating cross platform code. The Linux compiler uses ARC – while Windows and OSX don’t… – Lars Fosdal – Google+

Every time I run into complex nested if/then/else statement in any language with truckloads of code blocks, it usually means it is time to refactor in two steps:
Of course this adds some overhead, but usually you end up with code that is easier to unit-test and understand both the overall structure and detailed implementations of.
I’m all for language enhancements that allow deeply nested logic to be more manageable (for instance by enhancing a case construct), but usually refactoring makes that less of a need and more of a nice to have.

Playing around with semantic typing in Oxygene: https://github.com/carlokok/semantictyping adding operators and methods to type aliases to store distinct types like distance, speed, acceleration while storing them as floats.
Check the repository linked; It essentially has types like Kelvin, Celsius ( https://github.com/carlokok/semantictyping/blob/master/SemanticTyping/Temperature.pas ), and Speed, Velocity, Acceleration ( https://github.com/carlokok/semantictyping/blob/master/SemanticTyping/Physics.pas ) using standard Oxygene features.

This is a reminder to myself to checkout [WayBack] RAD Studio Custom Editor Sub-views – Dave’s Development Blog and see if his [WayBack] Browse and Doc It plugin now supports the editor sub-views.
He also has a great free tool for Delphi: [WayBack] IDE Explorer – Dave’s Development Blog

Over 1200 people work at bol.com and our IT department consists of more than 350 engineers, clustered into 60 cross-functional teams. These teams are all grouped in fleets and spaces. Staying organized at this scale is definitely a challenge. To make this happen, we optimize for autonomy, mastery, purpose and ownership
Bol.com has posted three videos on how they organise their IT made by [WayBack] Jurriaan Kamer.
It is a quite interesting series to watch and compare it to the organisation(s) you work for.
