We affectionately call it Elvis - a fresh take on Nx workspaces, standing for:
Enterprise Level Visionary Innovation Stack.
Together, we shall embark on this grand adventure of building it piece by piece, culminating in the complete Elvis manuscript. I say, even in these AI-driven times, one mustn't forget the paramount importance of data quality: Rubbish in, rubbish out, as they say in the Queen's English.
Hence, we're kicking off with a rather fascinating topic: "NestJS for Angular Experts", where we'll employ NestJS as a middleware solution to modernise existing enterprise data. The impatient chaps among you may skip straight to this section: NestJS for Angular Developers.
Should anyone fancy diving into Angular at this juncture, our distinguished colleague Manfred would be surely delighted to help. Daniel curates a rather splendid Angular Space, and I've taken the liberty of compiling a list of other brilliant Angular experts (Armen, Enea, Minko, Rainer, Thomas,..), which you can peruse here: Angular Experts.
And one more thing: This is the documentation project. You'll find Elvis here: github.com/webia1/elvis. The Elvis project is in active development. Individual branches serve as checkpoints in our journey. More details on this here: NestJS for Angular Developers
Updates shall be forthcoming, cross my heart and hope to fly!
For industry insiders, I need no introduction - I'm a seasoned Software Architect with two decades of battle scars and success stories. For those wondering what exactly a Software Architect is, here's my perspective:
- A developer who's weathered enough production storms to earn their disaster-prevention credentials
- The eccentric who brightens up at the mention of dependency graphs at social gatherings (coincidentally, my social calendar has mysterious gaps)
- The pragmatist who evolved from "it works on my machine" to "it works on any machine, anywhere, anytime"
- A master of distributed systems who can architect 50 different scaling solutions but still misplaces their coffee mug mid-thought
- The person who invests 90% of their time explaining why that "quick fix" will evolve into a slow-motion catastrophe
Drawing a parallel to "Top Gun: Maverick" - like Tom Cruise's character, I could have pursued the path to a 4-star Admiral like Val Kilmer's "Iceman", but I chose to stay close to what I love: coding.
There's something uniquely energizing about collaborating with younger developers (perhaps due to a cognitive glitch that has me perpetually feeling 25). I'll keep my self-description brief - I'm here to share experiences and insights with you.
My goal is to contribute meaningfully to your journey in software development & architecture. I've set out to gradually explore various intriguing topics (particularly crucial in this AI era) and, barring any cosmic interventions, this content should grow continuously.
But you know how it goes with plans - fate usually has a good laugh at them. Let's see how far this journey takes us.
Until now, I've shared my knowledge exclusively with Fortune 500 companies who could afford premium consulting rates. This is my first venture into public knowledge sharing - quite a plot twist in my professional story.
Looking forward to our collaboration,..
Me, just one of you - not necessarily better, but perhaps more battle-tested.
p.s. I can take punches and throw them too, but don't worry - there's a heart of gold beneath all that tough love. ;)
