I, very recently, began writing a suite of tests to go along-side a complex mobile app. During a stand-up meeting I (somewhat) proudly announced that for a particularly onerous piece of business logic, I had 100% coverage with tests that ru

I cannot wait to get home to play with this! If I were a 12 year old girl I would be "squee-ing" right now. Ok, I'm lying - I'm a 40 year old man actively Squee-ing over this. :) It really plays nicely into my "week

WOW. I've been doing the exact opposite for a long time now. Specifically with Nuget packages, because I could just trust that the package would be there. Considering that node_modules often has something like 4000 files in it, this se

This is really cool! What engine are you building in? Have you considered approaching Sony's indie-developer program? As far as I can tell, on this generation they are being incredibly supportive of indie developers ... and I would 1

Sorry, you're 100% right and I agree with you on that. however http://www.npgsql.org/ is not yet a "first class" driver. Notice the tags on there, "Stable" release is inaccessible and unstable has

I wonder if SSMS tools are going to go crossplat like VSCODE? How great would it be to have first-class sql-server-management-studio on your Mac/Linux desktop? I wonder if SqlExpress is going to be available on Linux too?

This is another awesome piece of news! If you're interested in using docker+.NetCore+EF a "proper" database was the only piece missing.

Powerful? I'm not sure. It needs an edit for grammar and clarity. From what I can tell it is mostly trite "tumblr quality" writing. > So yeah, gay people have sex, and it’s not just gay people, it’s all kinds of people! Al

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Ok ... So that makes a little more sense. It really struck me that I just didn't know how to trust the persistence. In a world where the application could run on any virtual cluster and even across different sets of physical hardware

The thing I'm still struggling to wrap my head around with kubernetes (and docker in general) is the management of data persistence. If I have a pod of containers everything I read seems to say that containers need to be 'stateles

> much faster than Atom uggh! yes :) I tried checking out atom and installed the facebook extensions to see what the fuss was all about. It was so slow I could only successfully open it 50% of the time.

I really love VSCODE. Like really love it. In all fairness I am aware that I can also a bit of a Microsoft 'fanboy' at times... so I held off on trumpeting around the office how truly great I think it is. Of course if it came

I really didn't like the unwelcoming label of "stupidity" You wonder why tech work gets the reputation of being unwelcoming to women? It's because of posts like this... Truth is, it is often wildly unwelcoming to everyon

Ahh.... lovely, thank you. So what I'm referring to as "asynchronous javascript" is technically a colloquialism used to describe the event-driven callback-y nature of the code. I'm not sure I'm still against referr

Well, I'm 40 and prefer using front end frameworks (angular, mithril, react) to jQuery nowadays. Additionally, there are times when I find (for little things) native javascript is quicker and more useful. I think the sea change for me

You know what I really liked about it? It was an "inverse" angry developer opinion. Rather than the overly negative "this thing sucks and everyone should stop using it" it was positive and upbeat. I do think that data b

Nice! I haven't read it yet, but just from the title it's made me think that interfaces are at the very least among the most important things I've learned in the last five years. Dependency injection probably competes for the

Well, we're talking about a company that is ~15 years old but the legacy portion of this system is likely less than 10. (I've been there near 5 and it was old when I got there) I never thought the arguments in favor of using RUBY

You're right about the PITA, and they start out seeming like a wildly complicated and painfully documented dog's breakfast. I'm happy that .net CORE is moving to dynamic inclusion via "magic" However, once you are u

I once got into a heated argument with a colleague. We were working on a legacy C# project where the initial architecture was such that a RAKEFILE (ruby-make) was used to make a call to CSC.exe (the C# compiler). "It's easy, we us

I'm not a fan of "outrage news." This is a case of someone saying something stupid. (At least this time it isn't on twitter) You know how hard it is to find someone who says something stupid on the internet? Not at all
