I've never worked anywhere that code reviews were more effective than communication (ideally pairing). The process feels like a kludge to try and solve code quality. Rather than fix the problem (code quality going in and communication abou

Anything specifically come to mind about performance review that sucks? I feel like there is opportunity in that space to innovate.

Windows XP is growing? That is terrifying for windows. I'm sure it is just China, but how fun would it be making mobile apps when everyone is switching back to a version from over 10 years ago?

The analogy above was more akin to, you'll never reach level 70 if you just keep grinding the tutorial. It really doesn't matter how fast you learn. If you are not getting new experiences and being challenged, you will still be on a slow gr

As someone who has worked with many different programmers from very different walks of life, it doesn't matter. Some of the worst programmers I know started early. Some of the best started even later than you. It all comes down to your abil

If github is down, I can still commit locally. If github is down longer I can always: git remote add online git@ddosfreedomain.com:you/yourrepo.git Why waste so much time on support infrastructure? Wouldn't it be better to spend that time d

Code coverage is good at telling you how much of the code is covered with tests. If the code coverage is low, you have a problem. If the code coverage is high, that doesn't mean anything about the quality of the code nor the quality of the

Why not the command line? One look at that UI and I cannot fathom why it needs all those buttons. push, pull, checkout, add, commit. I can go days just using those five commands.

I looked at and played with many of those and I would strongly recommend Flot over all of them. https://code.google.com/p/flot/ Their site isn't sexy, but the code is solid and very easy to work with. EDIT: Their site was updated and look

Sharepoint integration or it's ilk pretty much creates necessity for layers. Hide bad code behind layers is the enterprise motto.

The thing about practice is that it takes practice. Here are the issues you raised: - Focus on code coverage - Testing nothing - Spagetti code from doing TDD - IOC + UI/Cucumber takes long to write and run I would have to say I agree, there

That second quote is very interesting to read. Do you have the source for it?

Lean doesn't mean on the cheap. It is about focusing on only the most valuable parts first. There is value in being around like minded peers. It is energizing just to be in the valley. There are millions of early adopters there. This may se

What canadian merchant does stripe use? I was very close to using Stripe, but active merchant didn't provide what we needed through your API (pre-auth/settlement). I hope to use Stripe for other things down the road though.

Yea, I wish I knew that we would be dealing with Moneris by choosing to use Braintree in Canada. The signup process quickly switched from, not much different from stripe to not much different from paypal.

I am not sure how they are mutually exclusive. You are going to test that your solution works. Switching from manual confirmation to automatic confirmation isn't so difficult. The real trick is figuring out your expectations before you writ

Most people 'spike' an initial version to discover what they have to do. It is very hard to test drive something when you have no clue how it is going to work. Could you test drive the code for the very first controller action you ever wrot

1. It is only fast if you are working solo on a project for less than 2 months. Each extra person, subtract two weeks. Think larger scale than just adding a feature. You always have to refactor to add the next feature. The giant mess you cr

I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I choose to use an ORM over writing all my SQL by hand is time and maintenance cost. I can write one SQL query to perform CRUD operations for a model almost as quickly as I could use a ORM. The pro

I said that there were less and I would agree the ones in SF are more aggressive. I fail to see why there needs to be a distinction between 20 homeless on a block and 10. If you have 10 homeless living in your block, you have a problem.

Tenderloin at market street or inside the tenderloin? Market street attracts the most people.

Didn't spend much time in the rest of LA, but I was in westwood for 8 months in 2011. There was less than the tenderloin, but most of the streets with shops had a homeless on every corner. I would walk by 5-10 on my way to grab lunch or din

Westwood in LA was pretty similar. I would guess the climate and the excess change is the primary draw. As a visitor to the US, I find the homeless there very emotionally saddening. I had a morning routine in LA where the same guy would gre
