next best approach for software development: stop talking start acting


I always tell my team "there are people who program and then there are people who /talk/ about programming, be the former"

I always try to hire the ones who program. People who program learn domain knowledge and become better developers through ... writing code.. their managers leadership and not talking about methodologies all day long but actually executing and learning from their mistakes!

I tell them if they'll get to work -- I will worry about requiring things like testing frameworks that add overhead but only when they add more value than the overhead costs.


No, it's been there for a while already http://programming-motherfucker.com/


That one made me laugh!


lol cracked me up. this is pure gold, thanks!


methodologies attract cringeworthy acronyms, lets dub this gtfowidd, get the fuck on with it driven development, and lets all just go back to however we were doing it already ;)


A.k.a., Programming, Motherfucker!
