I apologize for just another link dumping of my own posts yet again, but i have some posts that are personal favorites of mine but that didn't quite get the attention that i thought they deserved. Instead of thinking that they suck (which they very well might) i tend to tell myself that these unfortunate posts were merely overlooked ![]()
- The Life And Times Of A Bug
This is definitely my nr 1 favorite post. I guess it was a bit too far out there for most people but you have to admit at least one thing: you've never read anything like that before :p
- Ethics In Software Development: Pragmatism Over Dogmatism
Dogmatism of any kind is wrong. Pragmatism isn't always ideal either, but a healthy balance between them is a necessity in this business.
- Buzzword Driven Development Isn’t Gonna Help You
I hate it when people go overboard with buzzwords, and it shows in this post.
- Make It Work, Make It Clean?
I really loved this post... it's about an approach that one of my friends used (and still uses from time to time). I certainly don't recommend this approach to anyone because i can only imagine a handful of people pulling this off successfully, but it's interesting nonetheless.
- Test Doubles: When To (Not) Use Them
I actually think this is pretty good advice about when to use test doubles, and when not to. Unfortunately, hardly anyone read it

- Which Path To Follow?
Which path should one follow if one is merely looking to improve continuously?
- Thoughts on code reviews
Discusses a different approach i once took for a code review.
- Is SQL going the way of Disco?
People are writing less and less SQL... my question was: why should they?
- Are women better developers than men?
If the majority of male developers sucks, is it a stretch to think that maybe women on average would be better at it than we are?
- Programming Languages Don’t Matter
They really, really don't.
Hopefully some of you will like a few of these posts now ![]()
