I completed a Pluralsight course to understand REST Fundamentals. It was an interesting session as it taught about how APIs work. Some of the topics included the REST verbs like GET, DELETE, POST, PUT/PATCH. It talked about the error codes used, like 200 for success and 400 for client error. We also reviewed endpoints, authentication, …

Perhaps, it relates to the reduction and control of defects, which we know a factory is constantly looking to reduce. However, as someone who has worked in a factory before, I know …

This may not be a purely technical question, but it seems that many people in tech are inspired by science fiction. I am by all means a science fiction fan. I started thinking of all the movies that techies enjoy and many come to mind, at least for those my age. The two most important …
