That's like saying "I don't use wheels, because I don't live in the prehistoric era when they were invented." Some tools are fundamental. A tool to solve the problem of executing dependant tasks is one of them. Solu

Using script files to store config is convenient, but is it true that in some circumstances it could give malicious parties a chance to inject arbitrary executed code into your environment, in ways that parsing a pure data file could not.

Hey. Out of interest, Jason, would you personally write a functional test that spun up a local SFTP server like I describe? As a developer who's better than average, it presumably wouldn't take you a couple of days to get that working, but

Hey. It's a nice idea, but there are problems with this. The actual output varies depending on your hardware & driver combo, and is substantially affected by the state of the graphics drivers (e.g. What types of anti-aliasing or interp

An interesting aspect of the "different dimension" is that functional tests actually demonstrate that your application works. If your website is down after deploying a well-functionally-tested application, then it's often because of somethi

I'm a big fan of unit & functional testing. One reason for not writing functional tests though is that they are way harder to write than unit tests (assuming that your unit tests are relatively straightforward because your code is well

Our intro page does need some love, good call. >> HTML5 charting or Google Visualisation This would be great. Maybe we could have a canvas element off on some discreet pane somewhere, direct these rendering libraries at it, and reve

Yeah, most are, but the good ones are amazing . As a for instance, I spent years going to large corporate oriented industry conferences, and hating them. Last few years, I've discovered the smaller, community run Python conferences, which

Hey ivank. I work at Resolver, and just wanted to say, that's a fair comment. Getting the startup time of Resolver One down has been difficult for us. Our new web-app will fix that for some of our users, and we hope to provide a clear migra

It sounds like use in moderation might make it easier to rapidly leap around the conceptual problem space, perhaps reaching apparently unrelated insights. This tallies with the stereotype of being good for creativity. At higher doses, this

I suspect that being a foreigner meant you didn't pick up on a lot of the class-based ambition in London. The city is moribund with it. Every social event reeks of it. I'm English, but lived in the US for five years, and have returned to En
