I'm saying: It's the goal of some engineers to write clean code for the benefit of the business. It's the goal of some engineers to slap together something new and shiny, present i…

It's a long game for the business. It can be a long or short game for the programmer.

That assumes they were using effective parenting techniques in the first place. Siblings winding up in the ER? Actually I wound up in the ES once come to think of it. But being a p…

Software is art, fashion and politics.

I second this. It's pretty fucking out there.

A microphone and a blog. Throw in a book for good measure.

I've always found it hilarious that what we see today from the Agile industry can in no way have come from such vague statements. 99% of Agile is shit people who weren't part of th…

Yup. I've come to realize a few key things: 1) Humans have an extremely limited capacity to determine what's true. 2) Our modus operandi is not to determine what is true but with w…

And Americas full of drug addicts, school shootings and cops killing black teenagers. And that's despite all those Christians, their morals and their prayers. And as it turns out w…

Mildly hilarious how Japan is a ridiculously safe place crime-wise and has pretty high moral standards and is pretty much entirely atheist. They visit temples because they visit te…

Sadly I think we hit peak getting along about 2 years back. As in the microcosm, so in the macrocosm. If you think about even the difficulty of maintaining stable relationships wit…

Are you being serious? I almost agree with your sentiment however the prerequisite is that the group size is around 20 people. Earth has grown beyond where that is feasible and TCP…

It's just following the laws of Resume Driven Development. 1) If it's not on your resume it needs to be. 2) If it's already on everyone's resume you must seek alternatives 3) Resum…

Best comment ever. Especially as I'm sitting here learning ASP.NET Core Identity on Pluralsight for hours and thinking about all the "identity architecture coordination meetings" I…

I'm dying to read the whole thing. Please.

Which leads to Resume Driven Development driving choices rather than logical debates where merits and trade-offs are considered.

You have a problem. You decide to use regular expressions to solve it. Now you have two problems. You have a problem. You decide to use microservices to solve it. Now you have ten …

I remember my first job was working on a massive enterprise system in a complex business domain on a codebase that had survived multiple iterations over the last 30 years. It took …

What led you to this conclusion? I've come to the same one. I think it explains a great deal of what we see. Even in the hiring process and such. It's actually very primitive at it…

My God that quote is brilliant.
