Estimating app growth
by Peter Karunyu 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Dear members, I am trying to estimate the projected hard disk space usage by a web app; assuming the said web app is a school software; *If 60 students and 40 users are using 6.3 GB of hard disk space, how many GBs will 100 students and 90 users use?* Or is there a better way to estimate growth? I am particularly at pains because students and users do not produce the same amount of data, therefore, I cant do 60+40 and use that. On the other hand, if I calculate for students kando and users kando, somehow that feels wrong because they will both use the same, well, hard disk...

@ Karunyu. What are you truly looking for?A super man for the sake of it ,or solutions for your the problems at hands. I thought you had other important parameters for your projects, like version control bug fixing,quality, flexibility and less dependence on a single person,costs etc. If you recheck your parameters well,you might get a clue why we cant grasp your logic.

As Peter just said reminds me of the words"there are known knowns,known unknowns and also unkown unknowns...things we dont know that we dont know"i bet this applies to all of us and as the experienced" so called old school"you cannot blame the upcoming breed of next generation class of developers and programmers as in this ever evolving complex and.competitive environment we are in a rush to find our niche and our place in order to adapt so dont blame us for not wanting to reinvent the wheel and start from scratch we are victims not only of the global environment but also circumstances we find ourselves in.the current education system has greatly emphasised on acquiring mere competencies in languages and programming environments and specialization is curved out individually therefore the chance of such an person existing though minimal is recognizable.That kind of person is not only an expert but a legend Peter Karunyu via skunkworks <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: >Guys, my premise here is simple; just because I cant do something does't >mean someone else cant.

We're talking about writing the code, it's been properly designed, laid out etc. In my view, it's one thing to write a simple crud app and another to write a 16x16 pvp multiplayer game, doesn't matter how good a coder you are, code as complex as modern games, machine learning algo's, rdbms engines, os kernels etc requires collaboration, code review, unit testing and round after round of QA testing. I've also come to realise that programmers are the ones who suffer the most from the Dunning-Kruger effect <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect>. The tone and sheer arrogance I've heard from coders over the years is amazing, you'd think they'd apprenticed under Torvalds. I consider myself an intermediate developer at best and I come from an era where there was only Netscape and no JavaScript, let alone jQuery.

@Karunyu.Well, I have fairly described myself.And honest I`m very sure that despite my limitations ,there is no way you can find me at the bottom in this field ,whether in your good country or over the other side of the whatever ocean. I am multi skilled too but ,I cant maintain both productivity and frequent switching. You can`t have the best of both Specialization and Multi skills. Recruiters and CV writers are best in inventing if not collecting unnecessary vocabularies. IOS and Android is two competing sides with developers who are religiously dedicated in their respective sides.Very few people are in between. To cut it short, I advice you to separate areas of concern and employ right guys in those areas.You would product better products with better product maintainance. -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* Kinpro Computers.* *Box:*16954,Arusha. *Tel :*+255 732 972287. *Mobile**:* +255 754 914652 *Email: *kinprocomputers(a)gmail.com =============================================== Products: Software systems for :School management, Point of Sale, On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 9:47 AM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> wrote: > @Nicholas Peters, its not about recruiters *collecting vocabularies*, its > knowing what they want and what they can get. > > Such multi-skilled developers do exist right here on this beautiful > country of ours.

To be fair, I normally loose lots of tricks when i spend sometimes in other frameworks or languages.I also need some times and coding before i get used to some tricks in new languages or environments.IT happens even in sports,coordination of mind and body would take some practices. I normally lough when I see these kind of job ads.Most of the time experience goes against creativity ,if someone is not careful. I think serious employer should separate concerns for IOS/Android they are two different camps/religions ,but recruiters keep of adding up things as if they are collecting vocabularies. Naive programmers would attempt everything and would finally be good in nothing.Who would keep up with version releases, bug fixing ..political fights btn the apple/google etc.? -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* Kinpro Computers.* *Box:*16954,Arusha. *Tel :*+255 732 972287. *Mobile**:* +255 754 914652 *Email: *kinprocomputers(a)gmail.com =============================================== Products: Software systems for :School management, Point of Sale, .....
