On testers and testing
Over the years, I’ve come to hold some strong. opinions on testing, testers and the entire business of quality assurance. Inspired by this post on Facebook’s testing, I wanted to write this down so I can point people to it. Some of this is controversial. In fact, even mentioning some of this in conversation has caused people to flip the bozo bit on me. Most product teams don’t need a separate testing role. And even if they do, the ratio of full time dev:full time te...

30-Minute Exercise to Become a Better Programmer

The other day I finished one of this kind of books - “Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsmanâ€. This book motivated me to think carefully what I want to invest my time in. Also, it coincided with my 25th birthday and, of co...

printf("goodbye, Dennis");
Dennis Ritchie, a father of modern computing, died on October 8th, aged 70EVERY time you tap an iSomething, you are touching a little piece of Steve Jobs. His singular vision shaped the products Apple has conjured up, especially over the last 14 years, after Jobs returned to the helm of the company he had founded. Jobs's death in October resembled the passing of a major religious figure. But all of his technological miracles, along with a billion others sold by Apple's competitors, would be mere...

Do We Really Need Wi-Fi in Schools?
Why do I think Wi-Fi is needed in schools? Times have changed. We need to adapt to the changes. I believe the internet is probably the most important tool available today. The world- wide web contains information about anything you could possibly want or need to know. It allows an even playing field for people who don’t have the information and knowledge to be able to get it. Students today are the future. They need to be able to access as much knowledge as possible to be...

Do IE developers feel guilty?
IE won the browser war before Chrome appeared with the help of anti-competitive practices. But with the appearance of more and more easy-to-use and fast browsers, people start to hate IE and leave IE. It seems IE is not a product of modern age. Do IE developers feel guilty about this? Everything is contextual. The browser that most people hate today is IE6, which, at the time was one of the best browsers on the planet (it didn't win the Browser Wars, Round One, by accident). It was built on "int...
