If you implement things in a cloud agnostic way you can also save a lot by choosing a traditional webhoster/server hoster. If you want your product to be cloud agnostic, you lose almost every advantage of the cloud. That's the who

No, it makes "release when ready" easier, since the entire distribution doesn't have to wait for that single software release becau the next distro release is not that far away. At least that's how it works for Java. (I&

I'm not talking about a definition. Just that, for example, if one child gets born in a rich country to a rich family and one child to a poor family in a third world country, their starting conditions are unfair. This doesn't help

Sure, but you can objectively tell if something is unfair. Defining fairness is more difficult.

I, too, use git commit messages to document the reasoning behind my changes. But I'm unsure if my colleagues even notice, since they regularly write bad commit messages like "Fix bug" and things like that. Also I regularly fi

You are right. Sorry for my bad and disrespectful wording. My point was more about that if the percentage of people who currently use their car to get to work will go by public transportation instead, it will feel less unsafe, since there a

If more wealthy people used public transportation, the percentage of shady people on public transportation would go down.

Sure, but continuing to job hop will still get you more compensation more quickly.

In my experience, users are far more likely to stay silent, if they accept or welcome a change.

I think it's important to give feedback to employees that behave like you'd expect, too. Otherwise they might wonder if they are doing something wrong and change their behavior.

Ideally the function's name reveals what it's doing. Only if you are tracing down a problem you are required to look into the details. This actually helps to speed up navigating code, because parts of it get meaningful names.

One problem with code that is destined for an early death: It usually lives (much) longer than originally expected.

And how do you do this in practice? I am struggling to think of a good way to keep the production code that fails the test and the production code that doesn't fail the test together. I might have my test check out an old version of th

I find abstractable parts in code by thinking about potential names for it. If there is no good name for a potential common function, it's probably not a good idea to extract the section into a function. Maybe it can be extracted into
