Some people -- myself included -- think TDD is not a good way to develop software. And I use SVN and TFS... I've tried git and frankly I want to solve problems, not introduce more with my source control provider. I want something tha

Ya, I think that's actually the mark of a great manager... making sure he's got fodder for the inevitable wood chipper so to speak.

Doesn't 2012.2 and the web developer add on really improve intellisense for js libs (among many other things)? I'm a C# dev... and it feels a lot like going back in time working with other toolchains sometimes (especially on the S

The point that drove it home is that businesses aren't in t business of "creating jobs." We're in it to make money. I hire when it hurts. I don't hire when I have an excess of cash. If tax rates were higher I'

I got the axe at a job a few years ago at lunch on a Thursday. By 3pm I had a new gig lined up start the following Monday. Networking and contacts (and I mean legitimate networking) really play a big part in your overall success. I'm in a

One of my clients has a poorly designed access system (using, now, mssql as the backend). It's not access's fault that the system is shit, it's the developer's fault. Bad devs write bad code. Beginner bad devs tend to write their bad code

cmd-F only shows "though" in there twice, both in the word "thought" - I'm not sure what you're asking.

I've got a client on a shoestring budget. I told them... listen, we can get real expensive, really fast. So if you help me, I can help you. They build specs in powerpoint, excel, paper etc. We discuss them (in person typically at a sched

Your cleverness means it's slow in some instances... Getting a list if users with a diverse criteria set is a gnarly query...

We're quickly migrating to this model. You have to be (much) better about estimating work, but switching from cost+ to value added pricing really makes better sense (and your margins increase).

Almost all performance brakes have this easy drop in pads to make changes faster at the track (I'd change pads 2-3x a track day in my evo). They bought an off the shelf brake setup from brembo. Nothing special here for people in the know.

I cut my teeth as a professional developer in 1996 writing fortran77. We used it to test wire bundles on airplanes. Important stuff actually (unlike the Web apps most of us make today!)

The benefit of b2b is that companies are used to spending money and have budgets. B2c tends to be "give it away for free and make money on volume" (aka collect underpants). That said... B2b means you'll have to provide better support (contr

You have to compare them to some metric in your world. In my case if I make an estimate I have to quantify it as a "Sean" estimate. That means to need to effectively triple it for most of the team. We rate people as fractions of the Sean t

Although I agree with sentiment of your post, actually the publication date of a novel and the release date of new furniture lines are very important [the same with music, movies and just about anything where we have enough data to do trend

WPF/Thick client is not sexy, but as you've found there is a large market for good POS systems. I agree with shawn-butler -- I think the lack of English documentation/implementation is huge.

err what? No... we just can't afford to waste our time with people that would rather discuss esoterically the merits of x vs y than actually get work done.
