Dune was a 165M movie.

Even beyond Dogme 95, the 90s were such a great moment for independent and low-budget films. And this was before the epoch of 24P and digital! So indie and very low budget films sh…

Super excited about this. I've been using cljfx ( https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx ) to build a few apps and it's so developer efficient.

Decoupling

I find this such a shame. I think this reflects an increasingly consumer versus producer aspect of culture. I find that desktop apps support and foster creativity, and producing re…

I've made a few desktop apps in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx (e.g., https://www.chronos-desk.com/ ), and cljfx (JavaFX + Clojure) is amazing and makes for rapid development, not …

This is incredible. I’ve got two JavaFX apps to try this out with this week. Figuring out Mac codesigning for JavaFX apps was a pita.

In prior talk(s) he’s famous for saying “IQ is a lead weight”.

"Improving the productivity of a software team is hard. It involves understanding the business, the team, the history, the obstacles blocking progress. It is a complex, context-sen…

It should be noted that code reviews, though useful for catching defects, are incredibly expensive. I think there are cheaper ways -- along the lines of automated testing and desig…

This is meandering rambling from someone who doesn't know how to write unit tests. He complains about bad unit tests ("many tests tend to...") as an argument against unit testing. …

I like this. "The only weapons we have are simplicity and convention." Well said. I think we need to espouse a new software paradigm: DFS-oriented programming. (Dead F *ing Simple-…

Layers of indirection (abstractions) aren't bad; bad abstractions are bad. A good abstraction should protect you from having to keep lots of implementation details in your head. An…

Would a rewrite necessarily benefit the business? Can you make a strong case for that? If not, start writing tests, try small incremental refactorings, ask your manager to hire mor…
