My project has decent code, source control with history from the beginning (ten years in a few months) and unit tests that were abandoned for years. I've spent at least a couple of weeks, over a year or so, just to remove tests that di

Can we attach an attack vector to the book cover? Sure. I wouldn't let that USB anywhere near my computer if I'd bought it let alone a library copy of it. I'm with the author on this one. Any code needed to for it be useful s

Kinda tempted to say 424 or 402 and you should always consider 418. Actually 418 might be appropriate as the service was clearly not built to solve the problem as it exists today. "The HTTP 418 I'm a teapot client error response c

At some time we learned about delete locks in Azure and promptly created those for all production resources. Have had/heard of enough actual/almost "killed production" stories to understand their value. A bit cumbersome

I've marked a few tens of thousands of records as not delivered to a customer, instead of as intended just one record. We had no development or test environment so development were done in production. The system lacked the necessary fu

This was where my programming journey began, this and a "ring-binder-in-a-box" IBM basic programming manual detailing every command. I have written so many programs on my Dragon 32, line numbers and goto's, oh those were the

So they built a Linnstrument? Honestly don't know who was first, but I know I looked at the Linnstrument a long time ago (when my daughter Linn was really young, she's 13 now). The Linnstrument looks better and has more buttons, a

As someone who works in (and leads) the development of a 100k LOC project with four developers (project lead, tech lead and two junior developers) I see pull requests as a way for other members (often me or tech lead) to 1) spot clunky code

Nota bene: I spent all of fifteen seconds "reading" the blog post. I would sum this up as: "Don't let perfect be the enemy of done." Which is a really good advice.

Fun list to read, lots of memories. On a side note, why do they use nbsp's for columns? Wondered why the right column didn't align perfectly and had to "inspect". As a developer I know not to use tables for layout, but t

Reflections (highlights) in the eyes being different, artifacts and so on. But that said, if I weren't looking for fakes I'd probably accept them as real enough.
