Where is the ‘like’ button?? A good point. Such an amazing act of creation this Dune universe.. And so little fan art. Why?

Comment on Sign of a Stupid Programmer by Rodger

I’m constantly struggling with people that just don’t know, or don’t think.

See one of my posts here on Failure to do Data Analysis http://rodgersnotes.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/failure-to-do-data-analysis/

and Poor Or No Error Trapping http://rodgersnotes.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/poor-or-no-error-trapping/

And there’s a whole series on database design mistakes to avoid here: http://rodgersnotes.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/database-design-mistakes-to-avoid/

Duh!

Your post remind me of some lines from Joel Spolsky:

It’s because it is much, much better to reject a good candidate than to accept a bad candidate. A bad candidate will cost a lot of money and effort and waste other people’s time fixing all their bugs. Firing someone you hired by mistake can take months and be nightmarishly difficult, especially if they decide to be litigious about it. In some situations it may be completely impossible to fire anyone. Bad employees demoralize the good employees. And they might be bad programmers but really nice people or maybe they really need this job, so you can’t bear to fire them, or you can’t fire them without pissing everybody off, or whatever. It’s just a bad scene.

Hi Sebastian, I have just finished reading “Subjugating the Wild Animal”. Sorry about the scratches.

Brilliant stuff, very good stuff here. I love Dalio, I think “Principles” is one of the most important documents I’ve read, and I’m glad you enjoyed the MDQ post.

Great analysis here. I wrote a followup as well -

Which goes into the amydala/neocortex conflict, and subjugating the amygdala to the neocortex’s thinking/will/action.

Thanks for the post here. Drop a line any time I can assist with anything. -SM

You have to read Seth Godin’s book “Linchpin” if you haven’t already!!

Comment on F Commits: Poor Man’s Sub-commits by Martin

I always work on feature branches, because creating branches in git is fast and cheap. While working on a feature branch I do the same mini commits, like you do. When merging back into my master branch, I do this:

git pull --squash . featurebranch git commit -am "One commit to rule them all"

That way you don't pollute your project's commit history with silly mini commit messages.

OK, I now need to print this article out, translate it and handle it to all our new programmer recruits. It’s that good. Thanks for a great write up!

Nice post, enjoyed reading it. Here is what Richard Stallman says about software craftsmanship : “I would describe programming as a craft, which is a kind of art, but not a fine art. Craft means making useful objects with perhaps decorative touches. Fine art means making things purely for their beauty.”
