The sooner you abandon any software design and engineering principles such as estimation and planning you will find that your project will start seeing more bugs and will be developed far more slowly. High quality code = rapid development.

This is why software estimation and as much honesty as possible is required when dealing with clients. For all the talk of risk management, clients still believe the most optimistic schedules! Whatever a sales person or manager says, pad

There's a difference between creating something and then also promoting it. The FSF and the GNU project shouldn't encourage the creation of the plugin and they shouldn't promote it. However, they cannot stop anyone writ

if you're only using StackOverflow, I created a small mode called sos-mode: https://github.com/omouse/emacs-sos The difference is that sos-mode is made for getting answers quickly and being able to copy/paste

Apparently we give out blue ribbons and $$$$ to corporations who deliver incomplete software. So yeah, why the fuck not for open source? ;)

This is kinda why I dislike Github and JavaScript. There isn't enough friction to force people to stop and think before they ask stupid questions. Previously, things like that were limited to random forums, IRC or mailing lists, "

The cool thing is that you get to triage the issues and handle them as you see fit instead of waiting on a senior developer, tech lead, CTO, executive or someone else to give you the go-ahead. That's the real power of FOSS imo. It gi

This top 10 list isn't very good, it seems like something written back in 2006 or 2007. Shared hosting? Forget that, buy a VPS or EC2 and host it yourself. The only reason I would use PHP now is if the Hack language is being used and e

It's funny when you work in a corporate environment of any sort and you read this and you realize that openness is the only way to be safe. Lack of transparency lets people hide corrupt activities which degrade the organization at some

What I like about SEMAT is that it's straight-forward and it can encompass waterfall, agile or scrum or whatever. It quantifies what's happening on your project without relying on traditional MBA-type project management processe

Knowledge workers are completely screwed when it comes to getting things done if the project management techniques are crappy. What you're missing here is that these processes/tools are light-weight and are easy to keep track of.

The US government, FBI and NSA don't mind doing that, why should Uber and other companies obey the law if federal agencies refuse to? /devil's advocate.

Honestly to me, this book is great because there are so many fucking clueless managers and executives out there and they make work miserable. Thinking 10X bigger is something that rarely happens in a typical company. The recruitment process

I feel like, as for QR codes, there are industrial uses for this tech. I think consumer use will be very very niche and not widespread at all. Perhaps things like beacons in a museum or archive or library to help you navigate it faster or i

Welcome to a corporate environment. If you know how to navigate the red tape, you can get things done, if you don't then you'll leave for greener pastures.

When the docs are still in such bad shape and the number of books doesn't even come close to other niches of our industry, it's really bad timing. They need to solidify what they have and make sure they're the stable choice

This is a challenge for individual developers too who are moving up to team leads or senior positions. It's hard to delegate when you can't judge the potential for success or failure (for example, when some members of the team nee

The biggest mistake they've made with Angular is that they're using a custom documentation system that's also written in Angular and JavaScript. The DSLs would be okay to work with if they were better documented and had bette

This was very informative, I like the idea of monitoring symptoms that are user-facing rather than causes which are devops/sysadmin/dev-facing. I'm just thankful that my next project doesn't require pager duty.

I like the sentiment, however I think it'd be cooler if you could get the Facebook, Google, and other APIs to behave in the "everything is a file" tradition of UNIX.

How is that possible? Did Stanford help him start his ventures at all and contribute to the success of those? Is there specific knowledge that he learned there that helped him succeed?

The difference is that the people buying ads are more likely to buy ads because they sometimes value impressions more than clickthroughs or they get confused and assume that more impressions = more clickthroughs though that may not ever be

Because you want people to link directly to the trip or vacation or hotel or airline that they used. People usually don't mention it, they mention the destination.

Right and that incompleteness will leave you taking hours to do what should be done in minutes because you're digging through the source code. /said as someone who's had to do that with multiple libraries :(
