Come for a deep dive into the #Golang toolchain, including how "go build" runs the compiler and linker, and how all of it can be leveraged to write advanced tools like a code obfuscator. @mvdan_ at #GoLab golab.io/agenda?dates=1…

X : I'm an expert in agile. Me : Good on you. I'm sill learning. X : Would you like me to teach you? Have you ever done any agile before? Me : I started using XP around 2000, just before the agile manifesto came out. I think this graph will help you.

So, my thoughts on engineering performance management have always been a bit idiosyncratic, but Matt's tweets today have me reflecting, so... storytime. 1/

Now that people have already said highly controversial stuff like ”debugger is useless for C++ development”, I think I can share my own controversial thoughts about unit testing, DRY, copy-paste coding and function length, etc... with 20 years of C++ programming experience.

Yes - Duplicate then remove all the code you duplicated that you do not need - basically a static garbage collection of the code starting with the code you need. Takes a long time. This is slow programming but pays in the long term.

A trivial solution that solves your actual problem well is *so* much better than a generic solution that solves *no* problem well. That's not a strawman or a false dichotomy. That's a real choice people make every day.

Here's my first go at writing some thoughts about the interesting side of software: people! stuttaford.me/2018/02/03/peo… Some folks tell me that this is the sort of thing I should be tackling in my consulting work. Is this of value to anyone? Thanks for your feedback, either way!

I've learned a LOT about solving real business problems with #Clojure, #ClojureScript, & #Datomic. in 2018, I'm offering my knowledge back to the community: stuttaford.me/consulting/ I also hope to learn a heck of a lot more, doing this! RTs much appreciated, if worthy of it :)
