Cognitive dissonance is the most often cited reason for claims for independent testing teams. IF the tester is part of the development team that created the product, then he will be biased to confirm the product is working.

personally think that developers shouldn't care about code beauty, because that's not their job. Instead, they should focus on creating great products, which is infinitely more satisfying. Code Fashion What defines beauty in code? Just like for clothes, opinions on the subject may vary. Each year, we find new trend-setters, like Jeff Atwood, Martin Fowler, or Eric Evans. They offer convincing arguments to explain why pattern A is better than pattern B. Until someone else publishes a book, explaining that pattern C is much, much better

I'm not going to be talking about the third step of the TDD cycle. Refactoring code that's in development and not currently running on production is something you must absolutely do. Work clean, and write clean code. What we're talking about is changes to existing, running code.

In the modern era, software is commonly delivered as a service: called web apps, or software-as-a-service. The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building software-as-a-service apps that: - Use declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and cost for new developers joining the project; - Have a clean contract with the underlying operating system, offering maximum portability between execution environments; - Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration; - Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling continuous deployment for maximum agility; - And can scale up without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices. The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).

nejako mi to pripomenulo dnesne zufale pokusy stiahnut nejake data zo serveru v malawi: The ten minutes you spent planning will save 30 minutes later in the day when you don't have to spend the time shuffling through the papers on your desk, looking for that one thing you misplaced. Think like a chef: Put everything in its place today, and watch your workflow speed up to five-star quality.

Oracle is massively ramping up audits of Java customers it claims are in breach of its licences - six years after it bought Sun Microsystems. A growing number of Oracle customers and partners have been approached by Larry Ellison's firm, which claims they are out of compliance on Java. The moment you, as an organisation, are delivering something where Java is distributed to end users - something more and more companies are doing by distributing apps through which customers can obtain products and services - that is not general-purpose any more… and Oracle wants to make money from that. Nestudoval som to dokladne, no verim,ze na Slovensko faktury tak skoro prichadzat nebudu :)

Nuz, dufajme... Resp. este inak: tu diskusiu o (ne)distribuovani Javy by sme mali dotiahnut do konca.

Father Zosime claims that the electronic ID cards signal the second coming of Christ. He also believes that using a barcode for products purchased in the supermarket is a sign of the coming apocalypse. If the electronic ID cards are abolished, this group of religious representatives also plans to demand that Georgians no longer use the personal numbers on their IDs, or any identification number at all.

- "...it seems most office workers would rather be in an office..." - "...89% -- said they are most productive when working alone"

North encourages an agile, content-first, approach to product development and a mobile-first, in-browser, system based approach to design and development.

So why did Aadhar engage with MongoDB in the first place and will it continue working with the startup? Sudhir Narayana, assistant director general at Aadhar's technology center, told me that MongoDB was among several database products, apart from MySQL, Hadoop and HBase, originally procured for running the database search. Unlike MySQL, which could only store demographic data, MongoDB was able to store pictures. However, Aadhar has been slowly shifting most of its database related work to MySQL, after realizing that MongoDB was not being able to cope with massive chunks of data, millions of packets.

je to zoznam "odporucani do zivota" (patterns) pre vyvojarov ktory sa chcu zlepsovat. je to povodne urcene najma pre zacinajucich programatorov, ale pride mi to nadcasove a je tasm vela napadov a odporucani na celu "programatorsku" karieru. odporucam kazdemu kto programuje, knizka ma dobru granularitu a cita sa lahko.

"It's what the movie studios want for their products, it's what professional writers want for their work, it's what newspapers want - hell, it's what everyone wants: attention. Attention is power." So wrote the actor James Franco in an article on the selfie phenomenon in The New York Times last winter.

Read on to learn how to reduce stress in your everyday life and prevent burnout and other breakdowns in order to stay healthy and unlock your potential.

The longer an engineer remains at a company, the harder it is to find a few hours of isolation, free from interruption, to get work done.

So what have we learnt today? I think the main thing to take away from this is you shouldn't use public services such as Pastebin to post internal source code. Some creepy guy like me is going to collect it all and write about it. Another thing is to make sure debug information is never pushed to production. I didn't put much effort in to this but there will be more of Facebook's source code floating around out there.

In this article, author talks about how to improve the accuracy of software development effort estimations. He suggests to use relevant historical data improve estimation accuracy and to avoid early estimates based on incomplete information. He also discusses how to measure and predict productivity in software projects.

ten blogpost je o niecom uplne inom (mikroformatoch), ale je tam zaujimavy kapitolka o tom, ze sa im email ako nastroj na vymenu informacii a brainstorming neosvedcil: Perhaps the most important is that as a community we are far more efficiently productive using just IRC and the wiki, than any amount of use of email. In fact, the microformats drafts that were developed wtih the most email (e.g. hAudio) turned out to be the hardest to follow and discuss (too many long emails), and sadly ended up lacking the simplicity that real world publishers wanted (e.g. last.fm).

It's not useful to reserve a portion of my screen for displaying which applications are running, as the things that are running are visible and the things that aren't visible can be found when necessary. There's no need for an icon displaying wifi status; if I'm connected it's uninteresting and if I'm not connected I'll surely discover it if I attempt to use the internet.
