My comparison to waterfall was a reductionistic take on the specifications up-front before coding starts aspect. If comparing it to the full waterfall process then it is definitely a fresh take!

It sounds a bit like the Waterfall model. It became highly unfashionable in the 90s, maybe even earlier.

I miss the passive nature of the web. A page got loaded and then it was idle. Now I can stare at a page of text with my cpu spinning at 100% in the background, it adds nothing extra to my experience except for a quiet hum from the CPU fans

The TDD advocates I have been exposed to are mostly cargo culting consultants and this alone makes me very sceptical. It has some good core ideas but I find that in practice it leads to unit tests that are highly coupled to implementation d

I don't like people saying just hello and expecting me to answer before they get to the point. If I see the message and immediately respond hello back then I have to sit and wait and watch the 'person is writing' indication u

..in my experience it can also lead to antagonistic thoughts about people who I have never met and only know through the code they wrote :)

If you are working on an old code base for a reasonable time I recommend to get to know the old developers. Check out the commit history, who wrote what, talk with them a bit if they are still around to get a feel for them. After a while yo

Agree with this. I obviously comment on bugs and also convoluted code that I know will be hard to understand later. If it is just small details it is easier to just change them myself when I inevitably have to revisit the code later on rath

One Chinese I talked to said there are two reasons that can play into this pressure. First reason is that the grandparents probably had the same situation themselves, they were raised by their grandparents, so now they have a urge to take t

I notice that it's not uncommon for American recipes to be tied to a specific brand of sauce or similar. I don't see this as often in "European" recepies, here usually the recipe is broken down further or listing a gener
