I would half agree. A fully testable implementation being broken up into blocks that are testable is pretty much a truism. In order to construct software that is testable it must be done in a particular way. So the granularity of testing fo

I've still haven't found a satisfactory way of doing TDD with UIs. Being able to do MVVM with WPF got pretty close but it felt a lot more like driving the application with selenium or something akin to it. iOS seems worse, but I&#

Hmm. So small example on what I saw recently was being able to swap the authorization/authentication piece from hitting a service to users defined in XML for locally running the project. Architecture flaw? No. Problem in tooling? If yo

Except you don't touch on other aspects of what makes IoC containers useful in the real world. I've seen XML configurability used as an extension point for code that would otherwise be closed. I've seen bugs happen because th

I had the same experience as well. I redid a relatively trivial CRUD interface from backbone to Angular. The amount of code that I didn't need in Angular was ridiculous. Most of the code in backbone was moving stuff from the DOM into J

Right. So one of the main smells of an ineffective methodology is going through the same motions but not realizing the intent of each action. Some examples: standups becoming daily status reports, the customer demo becoming it's own pr

I think I've persuaded higher ups to get JetBrains licenses at 2 of 3 places I've been at now. There's hell to pay if I don't get my Reshaper/IDEA.

Just to give you a different perspective on your second point, I prefer to use code completion as a way of checking if the API that I'm making makes sense to use. Sometimes I just want to be able to type out "assert" and hit

The biggest thing for me with grokking LINQ was understanding the difference between IQueryable and IEnumerable types of operations. Most of the complexity in the runtime with it is with IQueryable. I don't know if there are a lot more

But one lesson of the fall and rise of HealthCare.gov has to be that the practice of awarding high-tech, high-stakes contracts to companies whose primary skill seems to be getting those contracts rather than delivering on them has to chang

I think the golden moment for me thinking about Erlang was when I started thinking that the actor model was made to support fault tolerance and concurrency was a nice bonus.

1.5 second cast times with abilities to push that down to around 1.0s. A lot of the interrupts are off the global cooldown in order for players to use spell interrupts effectively. .5 - 1 seconds of delay may not seem like much, but it actu

Suburbs of DC (at least NOVA) has a decent number of places that have FiOS. Also the cable situation isn't that bad if you have Cox rather than Time Warner. But the dominating factor of what determines where people live in the suburbs

Are there some countries where the daily interaction between police and citizens is not antagonistic? In the States most of the interaction with that I witness police is negative: get pulled over for speeding, ticketed, etc. Even when they&

I am of the school of thought that making relationships explicit leads to better coding practices and use DI via constructor to do so. I think the really important factor though is how mature the ecosystem is in supporting DI. The richness

Ok that makes a lot of sense. I'm going to assume you're squatting in a chair as well. That or you have a ridiculously long torso. 15-20 minutes seems kind of a short amount of time compared to standing though. I think you should

I had thought most of the squatting talk on this was about more weightlifting type squatting and not just being able to rest in a squatting position. Unless a deep squat = squatting restfully. Which is hard to argue that it's not due t

I'm curious on how your desk would be arranged for squatting. This is the first I've even heard of desk squatting so I am struggling with how it would be set up.

The reason why people can't do that calculation in their heads is because of our reliance on computers and calculators. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguMYWW8EAU In fact you can pull up articles with a quick search ab

Thanks, I never heard of the Booch method before. So time wise something like UML and Unified Process actually occurred after XP and Scrum? That kind of changes the timeline I had in my head about this. I almost feel like making something t

The part I wanted to understand more was the culture of workplaces that agile would affect in the coming decade. What created cultures that adhered to waterfall. I find asking, "how did we get here?" fascinating.

I'm reading the reviews and I realize that I don't have the background and years of experience to understand the software development world as it was in the year 2000 (I graduated in 2006). I get some of it, because of war stories
