This is a series where I’m discussing what I’ve learned in Coursera’s machine learning course taught by Andrew Ng by Stanford University.  Why?  See Machine Learning, Nanodegrees, and Bitcoin.  I’m definitely not going into depth, but just briefly summarizing from a 10,000 foot view. This is a continuation of the review for week one. Why […]

My Struggle with Sharing Content on LinkedIn Automating stuff takes some investment time to set up.  I imagine this is a big reason why some people don’t do it at the very beginning.  This investment in infrastructure does not always make sense with regards to time.  That being said, I think a lot of people […]

Learning Machine Learning I am by no means an expert in machine learning.  I actually know very little about it.  From my limited understanding, it is a program designed to make the computer learn from some inputs in order to generate an output.  That output will probably be better than what humans could do on […]

This is part three of a series about developing and testing a simple REST interface.  Code can be cloned or viewed from https://github.com/tscott8706/restexample. I encourage you to follow along in this series if you want to learn any of the following: TDD or unit testing in general VIM/screen Docker REST implementation using Python My normal development […]

Have a question for me?  See my About Me page and send me an email. Based on this post and question, I am considering starting an online book club where we email our insights based on going through a book. If you are interested, please let me know by emailing me (tim [at] developerautomation.com) or leaving […]

My Learning Experience with Vim I’m not going to go into the details of how to use Vim – there are plenty of tutorials out there already for that.  I will briefly explain how I started and learned vim. My entire curiosity with it started from hearing stories from co-workers about people who could code […]

Software Automation is Better than Manual Testing I hate manual testing.  I would rather the computer do the testing for me (as long as I tell it how to do so through automation).  It increases my job satisfaction. Manual testing takes a lot more time than an automated test (assuming both are doing the same […]
