2000: Things You Should Never Do, Part I - Joel on Software - 12 views

  •  
    "There's a subtle reason that programmers always want to throw away the code and start over. The reason is that they think the old code is a mess. And here is the interesting observation: they are probably wrong. The reason that they think the old code is a mess is because of a cardinal, fundamental law of programming: It's harder to read code than to write it. "

    Absolutely agree! Starting fresh often seems appealing, but understanding the existing Multiple Monitors code is crucial. Reading code can be tougher than writing it - a fundamental truth in programming.

Programming Proverbs - Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred ... - 0 views

  • Interesting comment about IntelliSense encouraging a bottom-up approach. I think that is true if you start with programming and not with design. What I mean by that is that some people create their design in code rather than working out the full design before starting to code. I think that if you create a design using a top down approach it takes longer to get to the building blocks. that is frustrating to many, especially students, but in the long run results in a much better design. With a complete design in place one does know what the little blocks of code will be at least from the standpoint of names and interfaces. Creating those little blocks early on in the programming is fine as long as the design is complete

Shedding Bikes: Common Programmer Health Problems - 0 views

  • Overall the general cause of all of these problems can be summarized as treating programming as an obsession. You may want to be very good at it, like I did, so you exclude everything else in your life in order to master it. You don't go to the bathroom, you have macho 10 hour coding sessions, you don't eat right, and all manner of mythological beliefs about "real programmers".
  • try to not start at a computer screen for at least 2 hours a whole day
  • Frequently programmers will think that the lighting in a room is what gives them headaches from using a computer, but really it's bad posture, shitty fonts, not drinking enough water, and just using the computer for too long at a stretch

      very very true
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • I feel more awake and rested during the day. If I stay up late and sleep in I feel like I have a hangover and I can get headaches.
  • If you constantly feel "stiff" or unable to move well, then you probably need to stretch regularly
  • I'm not sure why this is, but a relaxed mind is crucial to spontaneous creativity and idea generation
  •  
    Programming is a deceptively damaging field to be in, partly because it doesn't seem like you're doing much, and also because of the attitude many programmers have toward their body. You should care about keeping yourself healthy because, when your body is in good shape, that removes "friction" from your mental capacity so that it can focus on important things rather than annoying little problems with your physical wellness.

Dégage, sale programmeur ! « Codingly - 0 views

    This article is in french, sorry for that but I could find no relevant group to share this. Briefly it talks about how programmers (those who actually code) are perceived here in France: As guys dwelling the bottom of the hierarchy, whom only ambition *should be* to become lead progr. or better (architect, project lead, ...). i.e. programmer is not really seen as a career.
  •  
    A brief translation of the intro.: « Yes, being a programmer when you're 30+ yo in France is worst than being a 40+ yo cashier. Most of the people who spend 90% of their time programming will try to be perceived as R&D engineers, project lead, solution architect, consultant, etc.. The best, when you're a poor contractor of an "software engineering company", in mission for a banque, et that you spend you days coding, is telling people that you are Engineer in finance. »

Software Engineering: Dead? @ Coding Horror - 0 views

  • The guys and gals who show up every day eager to hone their craft, who are passionate about building stuff that matters to them, and perhaps in some small way, to the rest of the world -- those are the people and projects that will ultimately succeed.
  • Everything else is just noise.
  • If you want to move your project forward, the only reliable way to do that is to cultivate a deep sense of software craftsmanship and professionalism around it.
  •  
    « I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an idea whose time has come and gone. Software development is and always will be somewhat experimental. The actual software construction isn't necessarily experimental, but its conception is. And this is where our focus ought to be. It's where our focus always ought to have been. » __ Tom DeMarco

You can always do less [2010-01-14] - (37signals) - 3 views

  • The hardest part about making good software that ships on time is knowing what and when to sacrifice.
  • We mistake what we said we’ll do with what must be done.
  • you can always do less.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • What stops most people from doing less is the fear of failure. The misconception that if you don’t get it all done, the rest is worth nothing at all.
  • For every 1 day estimates of a task, there’s a simpler version of that you can do in 3 hours, and an even simpler still you can do in 30 minutes.

Building Super-Scalable Web Systems with REST - 3 views

  • Standard fare for most dynamic data and the way most everybody would tell you to do it. Only thing is that it scales like a dog.
  • The thing is that holding all the weather of the entire globe in memory, well, takes a lot of memory. More than is reasonable. In which case, there’s a fairly decent chance that a given request can’t be served from the cache, resulting in a query to the database, an update to the cache, which bumps out something else, in short, not a very good hit rate.
  • If we were able to make our clients in London perform an HTTP GET on http://weather.myclient.com/UK/London then we could return headers in the HTTP response telling the intermediaries that they can cache the response for an hour, or however long we want.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Instead of getting hammered by millions of requests a day, the internet would shoulder easily 90% of that load making it much easier to scale. Thanks Al.

Programming as if Performance Mattered, by James Hague [2004-04-04] - 3 views

  • I frequently see bare queries from programmers in discussion forums, especially from new programmers, who are worried about performance. These worries often stem from popular notions about what operations are "slow." Division. Square roots. Mispredicted branches. Cache unfriendly data structures.
  • Inevitably someone chimes in that making out-of-context assumptions, especially without profiling, is a bad idea. And they're right.
  • The golden rule of programming has always been that clarity and correctness matter much more than the utmost speed. Very few people will argue with that. And yet do we really believe it? If we did, then 99% of all programs would be written in something like Python. Or Erlang.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • At the same time, such concerns and advice seem to remain constant despite rapid advances in hardware.
  • That tempting, enticing, puzzle-solving activity called "optimization," it hasn't gone away either.
  • Only now the process is on a different level. It isn't machine level twiddling and cycle counting, but it isn't simply mathematical analysis of algorithms either.
  • The big difference is that the code changes I made are substantially safer than running a program and having it silently hang the system. All array accesses are bounds-checked. There's no way to accidentally overwrite a data structure. There's no way to create a memory leak.
  • Really, this is what those cycle-counting programmers from 1985 dreamed of.
