Ethical Reflection

Ethical Reflection Ready Player One Quotes: Morrow wrote in his autobiography that he’d left GSS because ... he felt that the OASIS had evolved into something horrible. “It had become a self-imposed prison for humanity,” he wrote. “A pleasant place for the world to hide from its problems while human civilization slowly collapses, primarily due to neglect.” “I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn’t know how to connect with people there. I was afraid, for all of my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it’s also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real.” After a long time thinking about both sides of the quotes and reflecting the specific idea, I totally agree with both of the quotes, the only reality that we have is now and the past, because as the author of the second quote said, reality is the only place you can find true happi

The movie is about a young man that could enter to an important doing some research of a man that created games that could learn from every time the game is played, but theres a special one that has a special name.

The first half of the movie was interested but the

Is design dead?

Is design dead? The articles was very interesting because it explains the differences between planned and evolutionary designs with good examples what is software architecture. I agree totally with the author because I think, developers should use de planned design instead of the most common that is evolutionary design. The evolutionary design is the one that grows as the system is implemented, nothing is tested before implementation, so that makes a great mess with systems that were implemented in a wrong way.  I think planned design is the best because developers do not need to code anything until the complete design of the system is finished, also designing software is collaborative and can improve quality of the system. It is important to know and design how to scale software in order to no user more resources than expected, is a good practice to do good things before start to code. I think is a good idea to become a software architect if you have the right leadership to

SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

The articles was very interesting because it explains with good examples what is software architecture. Developers need to be careful when designing software in order to fulfill requirements, it is also known that computer science or software engineering do not have many years in experience, all of this is newer if we compare it to other engineerings. The author uses blueprints as a comparator in order to explain the importance of design to get it right in early stages of the development. It is essential to design good or fit-able architecture from the beginning to increase quality in terms of time, budget and scope, this can help business to save money, time and deploy software on time, also, designing a good architecture could reduce complexity and memory space in programs. Speaking of performance, having an architecture that fulfill requirements of performance could reduce some test in the final stages. The author explains three important points of why architecture is good for

Intro

Intro. Hi everyone. My name is Ivan Rangel Varela also known as "The Chicken". What I expect from the class  is to learn how to design software. In my free time I play Fifa, Fortnite or BadEggs.
