Technorati Tags: Rants I was reading my incoming mail today. Got another .NET Insight email. Decided this time to read it and not push it off to my article folder in Gmail. One of the first lamest articles I’ve ever seen from Visual Studio Magazine which definitely can have good articles, was “hotka’s Labyrinth: The End of the Language Wars”. What’s the point of this post? How does this benefit anyone? It’s a null point. He claims that this will end the wars against which language is better because .NET is language independent. As far as I...
Technorati Tags: C#,Standards,Rants There are two major annoyances when it comes to good code and readable code. Here are 2 things that really every team should ensure happens (at least in my opinion ). 1) Any method should not be more than 50 lines but preferably < 25 if possible. I cannot stand huge methods. The point of OOP is to abstract logic out into manageable pieces. Methods are meant to mainly do one unit of work. Not 5 units to make up 1 unit. Put your logic in reusable methods so that they are not only...
SharePoint SharePoint how sad are we
Your marketing promise me everything under the sun & as far as my eyes can see
A hidden cost, a nasty toss, a huge 5 year loss
Go hire a whole team, 3rd party pugs-ins, SharePoint consultants with nothing BUT co
I have to say, I love my IPhone. But I have to say I hate ITunes in general as half the time, it prohibits me in terms of usability, and causes more pain than it does good. There are many reasons why ITunes lacks usability and but I will not go into all that now. I’m focusing today on the Gmail contact sync in ITunes for IPhone.
The main issues I have with IPhone Sync & Google contacts are the following:
I can’t believe Microsoft would not let me browse some sites like today, such as when I was checking out the Microsoft Partner Site using Mozilla.
I got this very strange error today while trying to look at the Microsoft Gold Partner site just for kicks to see what was on there lately:
I don’t know how many shops I’ve seen, interviewed with, or even worked at that wave the “We’re a Microsoft Gold Partner” geek flag waved around as if without knowing the place, we automatically are supposed to assume the shop is a credible development shop. Most of these are waved by non-technical managers that know nothing about quality code. This means nothing to me in terms of credibility & quality, and it’s clearly just a marketing term that only benefits Microsoft and somehow makes emplo
I’m going to post a series of what I call “Red Flags” in development shops. Things that in some development shops happen frequently & also encompass one or more of the following below:
1) Destruct an overall development shop’s efficiency
2) Produce a team environment with unnecessary stress
3) Happen due to lack of standards/process and expectations
I always love it when you get a cheesy executive/manager who really stretches & attempts to sound technical but fails badly by using the term “Web 2.0”. First off, this term means absolutely nothing specific. I once had a non-technical CIO tell me that “JavaScript based Web Services are what Web 2.0 is all about”. Right then and there I knew he was really reaching for the stars to sound Savvy or technical, but in reality it really comes off pretty cheesy to a developer.
