The problem is outsourcing firms. The job market is so hot that developers jump ship all the time. You’ll also interface with a “project manager” whose job will be to forward what you say to the developers. And finally, outsourcing is an en

I’m always curious to learn about why people create complex architectures. It’s off-topic, but why so much complexity for such a low volume?

It's probably too late to make a difference to your vacation, but it sounds like these folks need active coaching. Rather than doing your PRs asynchronously, have you considered sitting down with one or both of them to do the PR review

Collision warnings are a backup system. The driver is also expected to look where they're going. Little Timmy will be just fine, unless he made little Sally cry, in which case he's fair game.

Even if it is, Waymo has a much more robust track record, and a history of prioritizing safety.

Pet peeve: GDPR is not the cookie law, and is fact a very sensible collection of restrictions on how companies can collect and process personal data. The annoying banners you see are against the spirit of the GDPR, and quite possibly agains

It sounds nice, but in reality your requirements end up being a castle in the sky. My team once spent 6 weeks for a small project (I was the team lead) creating a detailed requirements document with screenshots, a prototype app, etc. My use

You’re just out of loop. Webpack is the current big thing. It rose to prominence after grunt and gulp, which were both build automation tools. Webpack supplanted them by being a “one stop shop” for many of the things grunt and gulp were use

This is a ridiculous, fearmongering article. The Waymo truck was driving in autonomous mode, with a safety driver and software operator, when another semi crashed into it (“entered its lane”) and forced it off the road. The driver suffered

Sure, if you insist. I've seen enough people misunderstand TDD to be TTTFFF that I think it's important to clarify.

by jdlshore 4y ago
That's a common misunderstanding, but it's not true. TDD involves writing the tests at the same time as the code in tiny little steps. Write a few lines of test code that fail --> write a few lines of production code to make

It's not just US schools. I have a distant relation in Norway who suffers severe bullying in her school. In contrast to the Portland schools my kids go to, teachers take a hands-off approach to bullying, believing that it's the ki

At the risk of self promotion, my book (The Art of Agile Development) attempts to balance explaining the underlying theory with providing pragmatic "how to" guidance. A lot of the theory is set up in the first chapter, which is on

It must. Although it’s useful to start from a predefined point, for the purpose of learning, and it’s useful to have some consistency among multiple teams working on the same product, one of the Agile principles is that teams continuously a

There's a fundamental misunderstanding in your question. To begin with, Agile isn't a methodology. It's a way of thinking about development—a philosophy—that's defined at agilemanifesto.org. There are a bunch of methods

It operates by using a high voltage to strip electrons from nitrogen atoms, then the opposite current to attract those ions to the front surface of a wing. The movement of the ions causes the air to move, which generates lift over the wing.

Are you sure that's the same group? The design is completely different and it appears to be a company based in Florida.

Small tunnels and no stations, plus I would presume good ground for tunneling. All together, a smart way to take advantage of tunnels’ strengths while minimizing their weaknesses.

Wells Fargo’s shady banking history makes reluctant to use them, but I am definitely interested in moving on from CapitalOne. Do you have any other CC providers to recommend?

That’s not as straightforward as it sounds. I bought a Roomba from iRobot last year that developed a nasty buzzing sound during the 60-day return period. I contacted iRobot tech support by phone and got hung up on. I sent an email and didn’

“Ripoff” is both uncharitable and inaccurate. Minecraft was inspired by Infiniminer, and has a lot of similarities at the core, but the Minecraft’s gameplay is entirely different. Everyone loves an underdog story, but the truth is that Mine

That’s kind of a non-sequitor, isn’t it? Scientists aren’t being dictators. But climate scientists specifically are raising alarms, with an unprecedented level of consensus. We ignore those alarms at our peril. Climate science is full of
