https://lizkeogh.com/2009/11/30/estimation-anti-patterns

Liz Keogh, lunivore. Upgrading wordpress and the missing posts. This blog is now under Creative Commons →. November 30, 2009. Talk on “the Fallacy of Effectiveness”. Prompts me to put down the many estimation anti-patterns I’ve encountered. It also reminds me of his blog post on the Perils of Estimation. Here they are, in alphabetical order, because none is any better than any other:. Whatever estimate you come up with will be enlarged. But we only managed 5 last week! As told to me by Dan. How tall am I?

let x=x › ORM-is-Dead meme

http://www.crazymcphee.net/x/2009/10/19/orm-is-dead-meme

Programming idiom and methodology. About ‘Let X=X’. I agree with Stephan. ORMs increasingly get in the way. Here’s a further situation where I find that they. Get in the way. Consider integration with existing systems that use highly-normalised database schemas (designed by advanced SQL programmers who know what they are doing in that language). Also, I get a bit annoyed about ORM abstractions leaking into the web tier, this is especially prevalent with using annotations rather than ORM mapping files.

Adventures In Software Development. There’s something very fishy about the UK Agile Awards. October 13, 2011. Awards are a very interesting thing, especially the motivation for giving them. I’m particularly uneasy about the UK Agile Awards. Which ran for the second time this year with the results being announced a few weeks ago. As far as I can tell pretty much all of this years winners have a relationship with one of the sponsors. Lets go through each of the winners. Who were a sponsor. As one of the p...

I see a problem here. Yes, it’s Christmas soon, which made me bring my cookie jar. I brought cookies on 1st December, but when my team leader saw them, he refused to believe that I brought them to work. The reason was that any other team got the exact same bag of cookies. December brought you Zamu-han. I like...
