   I wonder if we would even have heard of the guy if he would have sticked to one problem and attempted to finish it entirely.

   I see lots of talk about lack of usefulness in combat. I agree with most, but the cobra maneuver illustrates something important about the post-stall behavior of an airplane. It is incredibly difficult to keep the vortices symmetrical durin

   I have seen it in a VB6 codebase, but never used it. I can imagine that it is going to make refactoring interesting. Better keep everything up to date, or it can become misleading. Tooling might help with this, but this is probably the same

   I wonder... in a world where everybody talks... Who is listening? It's not as if the world lacks ideas or opinions. If anything, we lack wisdom.

   There is even a term for it: bore-out. Been there, it's not a happy place.

   You say that, but on the other hand we (at least here in NL) complain that there is so much administration to do for medical staff.

    Not Amsterdam, but Utrecht.. But still. I think Utrecht might be more bike friendly than Amsterdam, with a clear network of central bike ways and free secure bike parking throughout the city. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fe

    I have seen this happen to junior developers. In hindsight I think it is much more effective to pair them up with a senior developer instead of waiting for a pattern to become apparent during the daily scrum.

    In my PSM1 course this reaction was mentioned as being pretty standard when teams are judged by whether they make their estimations a reality. I have seen this happen in my team. I am off course happy that it works for you, but it hints tha

    I would be very interested in seeing a study that concludes that technology has made us suffer less. Perhaps it makes sense to define suffering? If you would define it as "expecting from the world what it can not give you", I thin

    A second argument is that debugging is harder than writing.

    Thanks for posting this. I have worked on non critical flight software and thought that this philosophy might work well. I wonder how easy the certification is for such software? For work I might have to write Do178 code in the future.

    I don't know of a way to test this behavior (I mainly code C++ and unit test with Google Test). One could spawn a process and capture the output and return value, but that sounds a bit heavy for just testing if your error handling stil

    I think balance is important. I think I remember that studies indicated that it often works well to immerse yourself in a subject and then rest. Your subconscious then processes the thing further and might come up with shower thoughts. This

    This is something that would also be a problem with everybody working on the main branch, which I understand people are doing. I don't know how they deal with large refactoring though.

    I can imagine that editing code in a fashion similar to Google docs collaboration is the way forward. Especially if tests run continuously, giving instant feedback. This doesn't mean that daily tests will be a thing of the past, but po

    I am particularly surprised by the agile statements. I wonder if this flies in the face of the "state of DevOps" reports some people wave around.
