David Kramer’s high-entropy blog. I’m glad Microsoft is embracing open source. When someone, especially new software developers or those still in college, asks me whether they should learn Java or C#/.NET, my normal answer is something like “They both do. The same thing, but Java will run on almost anything, and almost all the development tools are free. With C#/.NET you could pay hundreds for Visual Studio. And the programs will only run under Windows. Microsoft is opening up major parts of the .NET...

David Kramer’s high-entropy blog. MVP is a VIP (Very Important Practice). MVP stands for (in this article) Minimum Viable Product. It’s not an Agile concept. It’s not even a software-specific concept, though it’s certainly easier to do with software, since upgrading software is usually easier than upgrading hardware. The concept is simple: Instead of building every feature under the sun into your product then releasing it, build the least you think people will buy and release. July 9th, 2016. This is esp...

David Kramer’s high-entropy blog. Resisting the urge to do more. As a Software Engineer and as a geek, I face many tempations. One of them is “I can add this really cool feature while I’m in the code, and it will take hardly any extra time. It won’t impact any of my other work at all”. There are some very good reasons why you shouldn’t do it though, and why it’s an Agile anti-pattern. You are part of a team. The extra work you do may not create much burden on you, but it may create a burden on others.
