SUMMARY:Jade Allen\, "Out of the Tar Pit"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  “Out of the Tar Pit” is one of my favorite academic computer science papers of all time. It is a paper which I believe should be read or re-read at least once a year. \nIt discusses the causes of complexity in computer systems and how to reduce complexity to improve programmer understanding\, reduce coding and operational defects and ease code maintenance. The general technique for doing this is employing a methodology the authors call “Functional Relational Programming.” In this talk\, we will discuss the broad outlines of the topics in the paper and how they apply to our real world software development experiences. \nPlease read the full paper[1] (if you have time) otherwise\, a very good tl;dr summary is available here[2]. \n[1]: http://curtclifton.net/papers/MoseleyMarks06a.pdf\n[2]: https://blog.acolyer.org/2015/03/20/out-of-the-tar-pit/ \nBiography: Jade Allen has been a software developer for over 20 years. She currently works at Helium Inc where she helps maintain a large (Byzantine fault tolerant) distributed system that relays sensor data from IoT devices to the Internet. She has worked on a variety of software projects over her career from databases to storage services to systems automation tools. Her avocational interests involve spin class\, cooking\, and cheesy pop culture references. \n\nThis will be an online event via Zoom: \nClaude Rubinson is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic: Houston Functional Programming Users Group\nTime: Sep 15\, 2021 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://uhd.zoom.us/j/95451930527?pwd=c0hZa2RMdGVhL2djYkZ4eXlPUzh5dz09 \nMeeting ID: 954 5193 0527\nPasscode: recursion\nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,95451930527# US (Houston)\n+16699006833\,\,95451930527# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\nMeeting ID: 954 5193 0527\nFind your local number: https://uhd.zoom.us/u/asjFuEGUr \nJoin by SIP\n95451930527@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 5193 0527\nPasscode: 072712926 \nJoin by Skype for Business\nhttps://uhd.zoom.us/skype/95451930527 \n
