I was in on that in 2010, but fortunately something better came along.
The problem is that the lack of talent has been filled with non-talent.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

On the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun. Make noise, or we will be doomed to darkness!
For those of us lucky enough to be in the right area (and not be overcast)

Every now and then we all come across some code whose behaviour is unexpected. The Java language contains plenty of peculiarities, and even experienced developers can be caught by surprise. Just because you CAN write horrid code in a language, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

That's not what they said in my Job Security 101 class...

I mean, not that I follow what I learned in that class.

You know, just adding additional functions which depended on the previous function instead of creating an override.
|
|
|
|
|
Which, at some point, adding additional function calls, you then have to revoke a function a few functions back.
|
|
|
|
|
But you probably already knew that.
So, just disregard the message a few messages back. Which, of course, means this message and a few before it can be ignored.

None of these are actually surprising or really worth mentioning at all.

Google today announced that it has acquired Firebase, a backend service that helps developers build realtime apps for iOS, Android and the web that can store and sync data instantly.
Google is on fire. Get it? Get it?

Hope they don't get burnt.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

ou need a solid foundation built on three drivers in order to deliver good software, and each one must be measured and judged from an end-user perspective.
Don't code an app that makes the end user want to smash their device against a wall. Advice to live by.

Dunno about anyone else, but I find a video driver and keyboard driver to be of utmost importance to my development activities.

Microsoft has rolled out a new build of Windows 10 for those of you in the Windows Insider Program. Windows 10 build 9860 features nearly 7,000 improvements and fixes since the initial release of Windows 10 on October 1st. And they didn't rename it to Windows 11 yet?

350 features and/or fixes a day - not bad, not bad...
According to a post from Sinofsky (it's about Windows 7 but I believe not to much changes) there is about 25 teams with about 40 people in each. I means about 7 improvements/fixes for each and every member in 20 days! Amazing!
Or maybe there are a few less improvements...

That's 3 days per feature/bugfix which seems a reasonable average rate to me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a bug it is reasonable (for most at least)...but new features are have to be very minor to be developed from zero to finish in 3 days...
Also - not all 1000 are developers! I think Tim is right - they count also fixing typo...

Keep in mind, correcting a SINGLE spelling or grammar mistake counts on a fix, so... it can add up quickly.
|

No!
We also pass everything - including corrections of typo and such - via our patch system, but we do not count them and do not publish them in our newsletter as fix or improvement!
