My Favorite Line(s) of Code

Onwards to Round 2 in our current blog battle here at SEP. This time I’ve been asked to write about my favorite line(s) of code. Unfortunately, I don’t have some fancy Ruby, Haskell, or Clojure to dazzle you with. My recent tenure spent managing projects leaves me with little time to focus on the latest […]

Been There, Done That

“Been there, done that” is a dangerous phrase in software engineering. I recently watched Ben Orenstein’s talk “Refactoring From Good to Great“, and it got me thinking about how easy it is to become complacent with your code, design patterns, and solutions. If “been there, done that” is your attitude toward the problems you’re faced […]

Positive Deviance

What’s that? Another SEP Blog Battle you say? Of course I’ll chime in! What’s that? The first topic I’ve got is Positive Deviance? Ok… What the heck is Positive Deviance?

Blog Battle: What Can I Learn From My Teenage Self

I’ve learned lessons from my myriad of mistakes growing up and I’m certain any advice he has left to give shouldn’t be heeded […]

We often get clients interested in mobile solutions to their problems. One of the biggest questions they have for us is “what platform should we even target?” iOS? Android? Windows Phone 8? What about BlackBerry? Symbian? Firefox OS? How about Ubuntu Mobile? Do we even want something native, or is a properly tested and designed […]

Passwords, P@55w0rD$, Schmasswords

I have too many passwords. I admit that I don’t always use a unique password on websites that I rate low on my ‘do I care if I get hacked’ radar. And, unless forced, I’m terrible at remembering to change them from time to time. On the plus side, I don’t keep passwords on post-it […]

Code Reviews – the way it should be?

This past Monday and Tuesday, I attended all-day training sessions led by David Hussman. He’s a big Agile guy, but more than Agile he kind of picks and chooses the parts he believes work – i.e. he’s huge on TDD and pair programming and continuous integration.
