I am surprised that the Enterprise edition is missing the option to export as an Excel file, eagerly waiting for future releases.

Our issue is that we hired an intern to code FizzBuzz, and he mistakenly coded it as divisible by 3 for Fizz, divisible by 4 for Buzz, and divisible by 13 for FizzBuzz. Now, our sales force runs on this modified FizzBuzz. We cannot simply accept an additional unvetted FizzBuzz, even if it strictly adheres to the standard. This version on GitHub looks solid, but it needs an Enterprise Compatibility Mode that loads an…

Anxiously awaiting your pull request.

On a more serious note.

What is the alternative to the OOP IOC SOLID multiple layers of abstraction way of doing things? Is this really the go to architecture for enterpire - or more appropriately, large projects? Why is it the go to architecture -- what are the alterntives? Suppose we're discussing a project in a non-typical OOP language (not Java/C#/C++), what is the architure of choice there?

Asking this as a junior developer

I'd give a shot at this: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/

Pick the programming language of your choice.

When you do add Excel functionality, please ensure that it supports Excel 95 fully, as we need it to be compliant with our bidding solutions for government contracts.

We have a proprietary method for up-converting it before bidding on military contracts.

Also, we'll need you to supply an on-site support technician to handle any issues that may arise.

The Github issues list is the real gold mine: https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

But most of them are not for enterprise grade code. No enterprise is using React or Java 10. Maybe docker, but the project addresses the real enterprise problem: using Java and in its most ugly form (including using Spring). It misses Cucumber BTW

Guy who loves* Spring here. Curious what you think I'm missing out on...

* I'll grant you that I find Spring Boot to be a blessing and a curse, but that's not what you're talking about, I assume.

And this is why I will never work in Enterprise again.

While Enterprise is always the go to for things like this, I think any time non technical people get involved in technical decisions the fun time begins. Just today I was told that I wasn't allowed to implement something in python just because it's "a scripting language"

If theoretically a developer chose to develop something in Python in my company that would be an automatic no. There are multiple reasons:

You would add an another language to support from the development to the operational support like monthly security updates. And that's a major risk and most companies won't take it.

If you leave the company then the company may have potentially unsupported app with noone capable of supporting it.

And seriously why would you pick python? Why not perl? Why not ruby?

The documentation is not Enterprise Ready™; it still contains a description of what the product actually does in an accessible location. For proper compliance, this description should be in a PDF whitepaper that will only be mailed to you after providing your e-mail address and phone number.

That pdf whitepaper won’t actually explain how to use it. It will describe the synergy of the experience of using it, give three real world customer stories of how it is used (without actually explaining how), and then end with a link to a documentation site that redirects to a login screen that it will take two weeks to get past because your account rep can’t get the right team on the line to approve your account fo…

And don't forget to fax a signed copy of the NDA!

Sorry, the change has been made internally but publishing it would violate our internal legal policies.
