I have that dream too. It seems that the more years I spend as a developer, the less I am comfortable to taking on technical debt. Maybe it is because there are so rarely opportunities to pay it off - and the interest rate is almost always

Management acts this way because they have no way of evaluating the effects of maintaining code quality. Only developers with significant experience are able to evaluate the long-term impact of each technical decision (and even we are still

If their hateful conduct and ideas are hidden from you, how will you know to fight back? "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." We should not be afraid that our ideas will lose if all

Imagine a car company that sells cars that may kill people driving them. And imagine that it would actually be one of the most common accident type that kills people. Would you be okay with that? The thing is, every product is working and n

Tesla does much more in-house when compared to other auto plants, they buy more individual components and raw material and less partially assembled parts. I'm told that many of auto plants that produce the complete vehicle do mainly in

This is also the pattern used by most version control systems, which use several strategies to deal with long histories efficiently. We use them all the time to move backwards in time, and between alternative realities until we eventually m

I thought change logs served this purpose quite nicely. Every time there is a breaking change, the user needs to check the change log anyway. If there are only some small breaking changes, they are only pleasantly surprised.

The pseudocode is intriguing. I personally have been stumped 2 or 3 times by static code analysis, disagreeing firmly with the machine for few minutes before realizing my mistake, but it is of course possible that there have been bugs in th

Hi and thanks for the work on Roslyn, I really like what you guys are doing with it. Yeah, I know, many of the features of ReSharper are something VS should have had for a decade, regardless whether ReSharper has them or not. We - VS users

Funny coincidence, I'm tweaking performance of manually managed contiguous memory using structs and refs as I'm writing this reply (the application is a combinatorial optimization system). There's nothing in ReSharper that cu

I agree that the tooling is about as heavy as you can get when you combine VS and R# with solution wide static analysis turned on, but it's nothing an equally heavy development machine can't fix. Then again, I may be old school in

One additional selling point of ReSharper to me has been the embedded continuous learning enabled by it. Almost every time a new language feature is introduced, it is ReSharper that shows me how and when to use them, using suggestions in my

I especially cannot live without the high quality static analysis possible on .NET anymore. So much so that any dynamic language just feels "shaky". I mean, when you are not entirely sure you covered all method calls with that ref

Visual Studio seems to keep incorporating features from ReSharper in every new version, and ReSharper subsequently keeps adding new features as a response. The ReSharper developers have the fun task of combining these features into a cohere

Once built, you can use and reuse the materials that went to the battery almost indefinitely. The stuff inside the battery does not get consumed, it just changes form. And once you have used all the cycles, you can take the battery apart, l

The satellites are on Low Earth Orbit (LEO), so they are much closer to Earth than typical communication satellites. When the distance from ground station is 1000-1500 kilometers up, latency is not a problem. In fact, latency via satellites

That's not how it works. They are very well capable of choosing something else and we all know it. They may lack the knowledge to do it - but that is fixable, politicians are not.

The national security argument only flies if the people buy it. That's the root cause; fix the people. I deliberately and provocatively overly simplify the issue here, but I claim that every problem we face can be solved by better educ
