  1. It's worth it on Are Code Reviews Worth It? · · Score: 0

    Email pass-around Source code management system emails code to reviewers automatically after checkin is made.

    It works much better than expected. We started on a 1st version about 2 years ago with 4 developers. After the shipment, we had a "what was good/bad, what could be better"-meeting. The bad things were the same shit as in so many projects: not documented dirty and unmaintainable code, which looked like a quick perl 1liner to check an e-mail address, but it was Java and C++! If your co-worker is touching the code parts you're interesed in or working on, you have to review his check ins and vice versa. At least it ensures, that the checked code is:
    a) Documented
    b) Doesn't contain 100+ characters long undocumented regex
    c) Doesn't look like your favorite pasta dish
    d) You know, what is going on and it makes it easier to maintain that code in the feature

    By the time we doubled the team and it seems to help. If some developer gets 2-3 "WTF?!!"-mails a day from his co-workers, he starts to think before commiting the next time..

  3. Never make your phone number public on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 1

    Our IT guys in my last company have an unbelievable effective solution: No one knew their phone number. If you had a problem, you had to ask your department manager.
    But if you were trying to call them again, you would notice the number was changed. You've got it: telephone system was managed by the IT as well.

  6. Re:Common sense escapes them? on Console Port of The Witcher On Hold · · Score: 1

    You don't know how many software (and other types of projects) are destroyed by management changing their minds on details and inserting demanding new "features" and functions well after the original outline was done.

    Replace management with product management and/or marketing and I will agree. The problem I see is that less competent folks from upper management have funny ideas and telling the top management how nice it would be, what all the great benefits are and how many purchase agreements they will get but without understanding what they do. Afterwards you will be informed that you have to cancel your entire project planning and implement ASAP [insert fancy feature here] no matter how tough are the time lines. You have the choice: disagree and quit or close your eyes and let your project sink.

    "The current version of MINIX 3 (3.1.2) is a work in progress. It is nowhere near as mature as FreeBSD or Linux right now."
    Yau, Minix is not dead, micro kernels are /better/ than this monolithic retires and with your definitions of "near" you'd better promote yourself for the oxford english dictionary editor.
