When developers are trying to do Things You Should Never Do Part 1 ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html ), then it's fair to say that they are lacking some skills. I don't think you should call that a 'no true Scotswoman'
- jdmichal 10y agoThat's fair. I think the vague approach of "they were clearly lacking skills" was what triggered my response. In this case, there's a justifiable position there. But a lot of details could have changed, and that vague statement could still be blanket applied.
- ktRolster 10y agoThat's fair. I think the vague approach of "they were clearly lacking skills" was what triggered my response. Understandable. My comment was already getting to long, and I didn't have space to explain every detail. BTW, if you feel members on your development team aren't capable of self-managing, this book is really good to help you develop those skills: http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Coder-Conduct-Professional-Programmers/dp/0137081073 http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Coder-Conduct-Professional-Progr... Self-management is something every programmer should have in their skill-set.
