First of all, one of the biggest reasons to do this (and not mentioned) is unit testing. If there's several variations of input, it can simply testing because it's easier to write tests for smaller units of code (fewer or no mocks

Kanban does sound appropriate, but it seems like the biggest thing still missing is prioritization. One team = one ordered list of priorities. Someone has to make the call. It doesn't mean there aren't multiple things happening at

Honestly, there's very little code where comments on the function calls can't be helpful. Let's use GetUserDetails(userId) A comment like "gets the details about a user" is of course a waste of time. What I like to

There isn't a pilot alive that isn't now fully aware of MCAS. Is there still a risk of MCAS causing another crash? I think the issue Boeing has now is credibility, and the idea that there may be other MCAS-type issues lurking. &gt

Another option is to use an enum, so it looks like getUserMessage(userId, MessageResultOption.FullMeesage). Even if there's only two options, it's more readable than a boolean. I'd question this specific case in a different w

Building on that analogy, the trouble with one clock is you only know what time it is if it's correct . If you take the time to verify and/or set it against an accurate time source, then this is no problem. However, it seems more

My water heater has one made from PEX. From memory, I would guess it adds about 18". With 3/4" PEX at a relatively slow 1.5 GPM flow rate, that adds about 1.4 seconds to 'hot water delivery time', though that's
