You are not Google (use UNPHAT) – The Isoblog.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/02

Next time you find yourself Googling some cool new technology to (re)build your architecture around, I urge you to stop and follow UNPHAT instead:

  • Understand problem
  • eNumerate candidate solutions
  • Papers of candidates
  • Historical context of candidates
  • Advantages/disadvantages
  • Think!

More elaborate abstract: [WayBack] You are not Google (use UNPHAT) – The Isoblog.
