Technorati Tags: Rants,Opinion,Management I often see this in job descriptions for Software Developer positions. I don’t know about you but to me this kind of description is just getting ridiculous these days and I’m seeing this language more and more. I mean is this kind of statement really necessary? We’re all adults and professionals here. Personally when it’s that strongly stated in such a passive aggressive tone, it turns me off. Yea yea, you’re telling me your environment is hard core and extremely high pressured. Wonderful, as I woke up this morning I was thinking wow, I really...
Technorati Tags: C#,Standards,Opinion I often see arguments about use of regions in C# code.

Technorati Tags: Opinion,Management,Teamwork I find it astounding how many development shops (from talking to many people over the years including my own experiences) frustrate the hell out of its own very motivated developers and push very good developers away literally. Pushing them away because a manager or set of managers are too stubborn and fail often to truly listen to the very people who they have hired to "do a great job" and to "give advice on what can be improved in order to benefit the business". Or maybe a manager has talked the talked but not walked the...
