Well, in Norway nearly everybody uses "Scrum" but Scrum is not always Scrum. To make it rock, you need a certain mindset - in the team and the company - and culture. It is primaril…

I would be coding for fun :-) Working in languages and toolchains of my choice (Clojure, f.ex.), helping organizations worth helping (NGOs,...). But that would be only a part-time …

You are right, we all do this. What is missing from this is feedback: how do I know if my design is good enough or what are its pros & cons? (Since often there is no absolute "good…

Thank you, bjoerns! That is actually a good suggestion and modern screens are wide enough for that. I am afraid that Wordpress won't allow me to do that but will explore it.

To help myself and others understand better the qualities of good code and deficiencies of a bad one, I have started a new blog called Wonders of Code. The question is, is this som…

Some of the new stuff is mentioned at http://www.joyofclojure.com/2nd - - ClojureScript - more on "thinking" techniques, f.ex. unification, logic programming, constraint solving, d…

We use Guice which also allows that. But that doesn't address some of the key points he makes, such as - runtime x compile time wiring - wiring is based on types so injecting diffe…

Sorry but to me this hears similarly too "coders do not care about why runtime speed is slow, they just want it fast". You cannot get gut runtime performance without understanding …

PhatnomJS and Buster really seem to be the cool kids. I hope to see more tests of front-end code integrated in Jenkins & similar ones soon.

Hi Jacques, Thank you for your comment, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you also for summarizing the many forseeable possible discussions upfront so that we could have avoided them …

Sounds interesting, good luck! Thread switching is certainly costly and not really necessary for high-performance systems as proved by the the LMAX/Disruptor architecture.
