Zed Shaw and DHH are the current cowboys of the programming world. They both have a nasty habit of coming and saying how awesome they are and how capable they are of writing code without bugs without any of the professional practices that millions of programmers use every day to produce more reliable code.
Based on what these two guys have been saying recently its kind of best to ignore them, they are still stuck in the ego land of "I am awesome and I don't need X" where X is shown by studies to improve the quality of code across a wide range of skills. They want to lonewolf and write their untested code they can do it on someone elses project, I don't need their legacy code.
Stop trying to fix the way we write code until you've fixed the way you gather and prioritize requirements.
While I tend to agree with the "requirements" complaint (oh, god. now I'm having flashbacks) I don't think the cure for bad management is bad craftsmanship.
Well, I don't know that much about them. Thought it was funny. But I will also admit to an affinity for the point of view that feels we've had enough methodologies shoved at us. Stop trying to fix the way we write code until you've fixed the way you gather and prioritize requirements.
In twenty-five years I have seen a few projects roll over and die, but I haven't yet seen one expire because the programmers weren't good enough, didn't write code fast enough, or didn't follow the "right" methodology.
Having the requirements gathering and coding being done by separate teams is an insurmountable problem that no coding methodology, or lack thereof, can fix.
:hmm:
...can I share this quote with the guys at work? We're having the usual issues with a wannabe project manager and another guy who plays golf with the VP. It might make them feel a little better.
I'll give proper credit. ()
WTF? there's only one line in theremagine you wanted to match only lines that had vowels. To test this out we'll use a contrived conversation about Cthuhlu: Evil lord Cthuhlu said Xchjklz plktrdfg and I agree with him
There's two lines with vowels
That is definitely not what I expect to see in exercise outcomeWhat You Should See
