This article really rings true for me. I am a software engineer at a then software startup that is now acquired by FIS. When I first started at this small startup it has the makings to be technology based. Then we hired individuals who thou

From what I understand writing a story to be read is not the same comparison to writing a story for information sharing via the internet. It's all about your audience. The audience who picks up a book wants to sit and read. Sometimes a

I wish I could upvote this statement more. It is difficult to transition from an environment of honesty and truth then into an environment where lies and deceit are the common denominator of communication.

If code is not clean we should be able to state for at least two reasons why. e.g. It breaks SRP, lacks dependency injection, not enough abstraction. Saying something is "s t" usually means we lack the verbiage to describe it. Cl

To complement this I would suggest anyone to starting looking into BDD based testing frameworks.

Yeah it's just an empty shell for a project that never took off. Wishware at this point.

I know the article is only to report what is said and it might be taken out of context. However, I am disturbed by the kind of mentality around hiring "great" and "brilliant" employee's. I see no future with that ki

"Drive" by Dan Pink is a book I found to be a good read on motivation in general. I suggest anyone with some time to check it out. Book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc The way I see it none of

Leadership carries importance for organizational goals as mentioned in this thread. Those who lead can inspire and aspire others to follow an idea or cause. It has been through my experience of empowering through knowledge that I have lead

I can not express the validity of this statement enough. I work for one of those software vendors and software as a technology solution is undervalued.

It can be said in general: If there is a lack of technical expertise or value for any company, expect much frustration.

I agree. This example is a perfect candidate to further abstract the source to remove ambiguities and better test the expectations of the source.

Some of the time, potential employers look at what you did when they knew times were rough at a given job. They assess your actions and ability to perform under duress. While I do not say stay. I would say take the time to provide the most

I might have missed this in the keynote. However, what was the original drive to provide such a feature inside of gmail. Also will this work on gmail for mobile devices?

I see no evidence that Square would make one although they could. Until they achieve a huge market percentage they are still in growth mode. That requires brand trust first.

To further this conversation I think it's important to discuss continuous deployment or even shipping velocity that is both robust, lean, and efficient. Consider this: If software, at a given state, is ready for consumption how long does it

This tends to happen when a startup has nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you have a team that has a shared goal and understood roles they can be productive.

I believe that he pointed it out as a valid scenario of a goal becoming a deadline by the constraint of time. Otherwise it was trying to have a sound strategy/goal to ensure winning the game. There is many ways to interpret the posted artic

One of the interesting bits of the discussion was the motivations schemes on code coverage. I agree on having testing and code coverage as an intrinsic motivator (continual improvement) and not an extrinsic motivator (performance metric). @

In my opinion some of the best office culture/perks have been autonomy of task, ability to persue mastery and a sense of valued purpose. While hard to quantify and difficult to implement, such a work environment can be quite desirable from
