Despite years of refinement, Agile development still does not include architecture and design. This sprint we'll build it 3-tier. Next sprint we'll switch to microservices.

Thanks, it wasn't really my doing -- SyncFusion, who commissioned and publishes the e-book, has a partnership with Tuts, so that' how it got posted.
It was a bit of a kerfuffle at first when Kent posted about it -- I thought it was plagiarism because there was no mention of SyncFusion, but we got it all cleared up.
It would appear that all the chapters[^] are posted there now.

IMHO - Agile is a project management methodology and nothing else.
Some up front design is a good thing, and architecture makes better outcomes - and if you can overcome the WIDC impulse for the first week or so of the project you will do well.

"Why isn't Duncan coding" - usually kicks in 10 minutes after the first project planning meeting. A belief that only keystrokes-in-IDE are progress.

Know just what you mean... unfortunately...

Sounds more like Maple Syrup in your Strawberry Jelly 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?

Last summer, an article on Fast Company asked an important question related to the increasingly popular picture-based character set called emoji, now found on the majority of modern smartphones: Are emoji racist? You mean, we're not all bright yellow? O.o
Glad someone's pushing this all-important issue

EFF experts find only a handful of apps that meet basic security standards. Chat apps not secure? I am agog. (Oh, and Bob says, 'Hi')

Google today introduced a new tool for testing network traffic security called Nogotofail. The company has released it as an open source project available on GitHub, meaning anyone can use it, contribute new features, provide support for more platforms, and do anything else with the end goal of helping to improve the security of the Internet. "Is it safe?"

With Dynomite, Netflix claims it can cut down on performance issues and better handle traffic spikes. Will Jimmy Walker get royalties? (Wait, is Jimmy Walker still alive?)

Microsoft and Dropbox have announced a public partnership, which will be mutually beneficial for both companies and very beneficial for their shared customers. If only they had a cloud file storage system of their own

So Microsoft will send Office with a Dropbox for easy disposal - ingenious!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

why your code is so hard to understand[^] - a short article on the whys and wherefores of readable maintainable code.
Quote: In the end it boils down to this: as a programmer your goal is to construct the simplest possible semantic model that would solve your problem. Translate that semantic model as closely as possible into a syntactic model (code) and provide as many clues as possible so that whomever* looks at your code after you can re-create the same semantic model you originally had in mind.
*Pro tip - this will be you but older and more tired.

Actually, been doing programming for 30+ years. So, yeah, an old dog.
