Yes, the business leadership almost always put an impossible waterfall approach ontop - they don't adapt to change at all well and are not really leading. For me the value in Agile is what we end up NOT doing - we never get to that shi

It's hard to be helpful because I find this a bit like saying "I want a job where I can cook cool new food but not do the washing up." You're more likely to get this being a contractor or at a small company. Most of it&#

It's unfortunate that you haven't understood any of the problems of writing software or buying on contract despite having it laid out for you. In reality people change their minds - especially when they see the software - so there

It's why contracted-for software is so awful - contractors do absolutely anything to meet the conditions and then they're gone and not responsible anymore.

Usually you know the least at the start so your plans at that point are rubbish. So you keep refining your plans ..... Who gets to do things that they have experience in all the time? Not me at lest. And what manual do you read ? There&#x27

With python you could choose to use Pypy and make it work for your system - that might speed things up. Alternatively, you could use smoketests. In my last largish project we grouped the tests into a short run and long run group. This allow

The problem with anything you've been doing for 25 years is there's not that much chance that I, or anyone else, will convince you to do it differently. That is true of me too of course. Nevertheless, I highly recommend having a

I find go test writing a misery because of the style golang recommends and our company has decoded is to be enforced. You have a list of data values and expected results in an array and then a test at the bottom that applies these array ite

I think it probably IS the APIs that are a problem but since you usually cannot instantly get rid of such things I think you need tricks. e.g. keeping your fixtures in separate files and naming them in such a way that the actual data do

i.e. you're the only one who can update your code because only you know what it's precisely supposed to be doing. Also if you come back in a year you'd better be able to remember everything. I am sorry if I am being a bit mea

Make is old enough to have in it's implementation a great number of the ideas that are needed for build systems work or describe various kinds of build tasks. If you invent another tool you're probably going to reinvent those idea

I'm not a Rust expert but I expect the basic compiler is doing things which just make it slow. With C++ compilers this can be the case too . The problem with header files for me is the increased fragility because a change in a -D opt

I think it's hard to draw absolute conclusions because small things can make a huge difference to build times. I worked on optimising lots of builds from Symbian to Android and other proprietary ones. C++ compiler choice is very import

Cheapest/most profit as the ultimate goal is potentially a cultural thing - long term versus short term benefit might be valued more e.g. in Japan. and less in e.g. the US or the UK. What you say about the cost of replacing people IS t

You Americans brought us the term "Human Resources" which used to be "Personnel" after all. :-) OK I'm joking!!! I don't really know whose fault it is that we are considered "human things" now instead

I do wonder why we have odd situations like a fridge inside a house that's using energy to keep stuff cool because the air in the house is being heated to keep people warm because it's cold outside....... And of course that we&#x2

Too bad for them. The rest of us get improvements. I'm way tired of being forced to use old C++ compilers because "upgrading is non revenue generating work". If you think rewriting your code in some other language is easier

I tried adding type hinting to a program that I had to maintain once - because it had no unit tests and I was looking for the quickest way to make it less fragile. One tended to make a small change and then find that it broke something som

The best thing about significant whitespace is the reduction in pernickety code review comments about it compared to other languages. If you also agree to "just run black" to format code then that kind of bullshit drops to almost

They are focusing on their work and occasionally on the overall team goals while the team lead is doing the opposite. Why have leadership of any kind? Why not just workers committees? :-)

I don't do anything others couldn't, technically - just whatever is peripheral but necessary. There are multiple single points of failure in our team and part of the job has been to reduce that by getting everyone to do stuff that

You cannot do everything - even in development itself you cannot be master of all languages or all subject matter areas and the ones you don't work on daily atropy. I used to know Java but now... I became a team lead recently and my

Len Deighton and John LeCarre are not obscure at all unless you're American perhaps and you don't want to read about non-Americans. Also your attitude to Bond is the reason why they went wrong after Broccoli - you don't under

I was disappointed when I read the Bond books - they seemed to have no charm at all. I think it was the Italian producer (Albert Broccoli) who must have made the initial films worth bothering with. My spy hero is Bernard Sampson from the Le

Does it matter given that browsers can remember the username/password anyhow? On the other hand it's probably more important for user experience to encourage secure (long) memorable passwords rather than the fashion of impossible-
