Charity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones, George Miranda: Observability Engineering (2022, O'Reilly Media, Incorporated) 2 estrellas

Review of 'Observability Engineering' on 'Goodreads'

2 estrellas

No matter how much I usually enjoy reading Charity Majors thoughts and posts (it's the only author among the three that I follow, sorry), I confess that this book didn't reach my expectations :-/

I can only agree with some other reviews I just read: from my point of view, it's missing a lot of practicality, a lot of practical content. I would have preferred having several detailed and real-world examples about how to apply and get the value of observability (e.g. with code, screenshots, private videos, I don't know) rather than several chapters with information for building your own o11y platform.

I absolutely recommend following everything shared by Charity Majors, it's pure gold. But this book... I think it highly depends on your needs and expectations :-/

Alex Xu: System Design Interview - an Insider's Guide, Second Edition (2020, Independently Published) 4 estrellas

System design interviews are the most difficult to tackle of all technical interview questions. This …

This book is great if your main goal is to pass the unfortunately typical "systems design interview" in some companies (been there, done that). Also for "generic high-level knowledge" in that topic.

At the same time, there are several important "dangers" in the book: - For someone without the "proper mindset", it can easily lead to BDUF (Big Design Up Front) and a continuous violation of the YAGNI principle. Even if a couple of mentions to it are done throughout the book, they are far away from being enough and that should be warned continuously. - Some references/technologies are "too old" and there are better ones for some goals. - Some explanations are technically wrong (not sure if on purpose "for simplification purposes" or not). Unfortunately, I didn't write down which ones and I can't remember the details by heart :-/

Because of the previous points, IMO this is NOT …

Vergüenza me da decir esto, pero... no he conectado con la historia. Soy capaz de valorar la maravilla del estilo de Ursula K. Le Guin, "sus mundos", pero me queda claro que no soy "público objetivo", no me ha "fascinado" (sí "gustado" sin más), una pena. Me ha servido para tomar consciencia de que en realidad nunca he conectado con las películas/novelas/historias que retratan mundos imaginarios múltiples :-/

Dicho lo cual: hay algunas partes que para mí son casi "ensayo" que he disfrutado muchísimo. Y probablemente quien conecte con esta literatura podrá disfrutarla muchísimo :-)

A ratos un tanto denso, pero con muchas reflexiones interesantes.

Especialmente interesante ver las sensaciones y "predicciones" ya en el año 2000 respecto a la posible evolución de Internet, la realidad virtual, inteligencia artificial, etc.

I have read this book for the first time "with 20 years of delay"... but I feel as if I had read it before.

The influence of this book on many people and other resources that I have been following during the last 15 years is quite obvious.
