This leads to a large number of commits and stakeholders, so how can you mitigate plunging it into chaos? With the digital transformation picking up steam, large and small manufactures find themselves hiring software teams and producing code. Unlike widgets however, code is infinitely flexible so everything can (and likely will) be changing over time. https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/factorio-game-server-azure-terraform/ Wed, 20 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/factorio-game-server-azure-terraform/ Do you remember the good old days when SSH, manual tuning, and shell scripts were considered a solid base for running a Linux server? Often I couldn’t remember how I configured something just a day later… These days we have it better: declaration files have become more descriptive code and ideally they produce a consistent state in hardware and software. One such example is the magnificient Terraform. Together with a containers as a deployment format, deployment and maintenance should be a breeze. https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/machine-learning-in-housing/ Wed, 04 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/machine-learning-in-housing/ With Microsoft I get to travel to interesting places and events around the world - and I get to work with companies to solve whatever they think accelerates their business the most. This time, we invited several companies to work with assigned Microsoft software engineers over several days focussing on two things: Improving their skills on machine learning Trying to solve the problem(s) - or explain what the difficulties are If that sounds strange to you, I encourage you to go read my other post about my work at CSE. https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/cse-at-microsoft/ Thu, 08 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.x5ff.xyz/blog/cse-at-microsoft/ tl; dr? Back in September (2017) I joined one of the leading tech companies: Microsoft. Coming from the startup world (Crate.io) I got to start in a newly formed group called CSE - Commercial Software Engineering. The goal of this group is simple: solve the biggest challenges of customers to enable them to go further, higher, and bigger - and share the outcome. This is of course fairly independent of technology, but our center of expertise and resources can be found around Microsoft Azure (which is gearing up to support all kinds of languages, frameworks, OS, etc.
