#3 was a huge problem for my company when we had an offshore job in process. My manager liked to speak in colloquialisms and slang, and he also had a bad habit of covering his mouth with his hand while talking. This all combined for lots an

The "El" (Elevated) trains in Chicago will do the same thing. Sometimes you simply stop between stations. Sometimes, it is only 25 ft before a station and you can see your goal in sight.

How do you name your topic branches? We previously used a bug tracking system in parallel with this same process, so we used ticket numbers as the prefix for branch names. On our current project, we are using Trello as the driving tool whic

Same here. My mom was an executive secretary in the 60's-80's. I learned to type on her old electric typewriter that had no symbols (!) on the keys. You had to learn touch typing because looking was pointless.

I could understand that evolution, but I have become convinced that this particular developer simply worked with negative logic in his brain. Even the configuration files will have: Feature1Disabled=False Feature2Disabled=True Feature3Disab
