Re: Build once, MSDeploy all over the place

Ryan,

Sorry for the off-topic comment here. Your blog post about "The WPF Mindset" appears to be partially unavailable: the images in the post are unavailable, as is the source. I was wondering if there was any way to obtain the source, at least. I can put together something from what is available on the webpage, but the implementation of IMultiValueConverter is only available from source.

Thanks,

Keith Montgomery

Re: Better than your average programmer…

"So, you're not a big fan of YAGNI approach?" - I don't think you read the whole thing :)

I'm not sure I follow your second part. If you're saying people you I'm being Agile, YAGNI, etc as a cop-out for quality and discipline then I agree it does happen. Then again, people also use quality and craftsmanship as a cop-out for actually shipping. It goes both ways.

When something is beyond "the average programmer", then that is an excellent opportunity to help that programmer become better than average.

If you don't keep learning, you'll get left in the dust very quickly.

So, you're not a big fan of the YAGNI approach? I find, more often than not, people who say "YAGNI" or "KISS" have difficulty designing/implementing at the higher levels of abstraction needed to support future efforts.

Thus, they tell everyone "I'm being Agile" instead of "I'm a hack" :)
(OK: a bit of hyperbole in there, but.. kinda true)

Re: Comparing Github Forks

Also extremely useful is git diff origin/master...plastic/master
(Notice the three dots between the commits.)

This will show all the work up to and including plastic/master from the point it diverged from origin/master. In essence, ignoring any work that has occurred on origin since they diverged.

You mean walk on a rope? No. I have enough trouble with flat ground. :)

I like the photo - have you ever been slacklining? It's quite challenging...

Re: Expand Your Normal

Ryan Cromwell — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:30:47 -0000

Agreed. Acknowledging that everyone is where they are and that the opportunity we have is to create a discussion dynamic in which we both end up in a better place is far more effective. And fun.

I often forget how much just participating in community (conferences, twitter, blogs like this) moves "normal" for me, and that developers without those experiences might not share my worldview.

I've been trying to help a client in the DC area hire a senior developer or architect. Its amazing (shocking?) to me how these candidates, who are intelligent and experienced in many ways but not involved in the dev community, are getting by with the tools, techniques and processes that I now take as a given.I guess my point is, don't take for granted that everyone else has the same "normal" that you do. Everyone is on their own trajectory and its a lot easier to communicate effectively when we're mindful of that!

This was more tricky than I had initially anticipated, but the solution seems to work for us and its got relatively few moving parts.
