I imagine that part of this is due to the nature in which it was donated by Oracle to Apache. Legally obligating it’s continued distribution

Code should explain the what, tests should explain the why. Done correctly comments should be redundant. That doesn’t mean actual documentation isn’t useful, but it only captures a point in time, rather than the actual living code.

This seems obnoxious and anarchical, which in a new team probably won’t fly. People don’t like to be tested in this way. I’d probably reevaluate what it is you’re trying to achieve from a retrospective and listen to the team.

The most important part of scrum and the only part that is important is retrospectives, because it allows the team opportunity to step back and make changes to their processes. Everything else is mostly arbitrary. Want to stop doing stand u

We had these people come in at a company I worked at, the problem I found was “it” at this small to medium business was very different to “it” they had experienced at a large enterprise. It usually took 6 months for them to understand the d

Hangouts was great, used xmpp in the beginning and was available on most devices so would work across android, iOS, blackberry, Mac, windows and web. They screwed it up and WhatsApp won.

I never expected a web host would buy a content farm, let alone one about a subject that, let’s face it doesn’t directly depend on one.

This bug is from 20 years ago and still isn't solved. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122752 Incredible really how things have moved on since this issue.

Language is often about being able to take shortcuts, to infer meaning, to talk about things in the abstract an everyone understand what you mean. Clean Code is just a concept, it’s up to you to define it within your culture or community. I

Has anyone else started seeing results with titles as “Untitled”?

Google has done this for practically as long as I can remember. If you remember when dmoz was still a thing, Google would favour the title from that, rather than the site's actual title because it perceived it as more useful to the use

Surely the change to USB-C was a compatibility thing, as the chipset is Intel based, it’s probably easier to supply. Now it’s their own chip, it makes sense that they have now switched to their own proprietary solutions.
