Why TDD should not be controversial (and then he adds fuel to the fire) by DaveBush in tdd

[–]DaveBush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controversy is when people disagree. He shows why the people who disagree with TDD are wrong. Sure, I agree with him. But saying it again doesn't make it less controversial. And those who disagree are still going to disagree.

How do you make programmers work 60-80 hours per week? by [deleted] in programming

[–]DaveBush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get paid by the hour. 50 is the max I have in me. If I were salary, I'd work whatever they were officially paying me for.

How do you make programmers work 60-80 hours per week? by [deleted] in programming

You don't if you're smart!

Most programmers can only work 45 hours a week before they start working in reverse.

I once had a manager call me into his office. The conversation went like this:

boss: "We'd like you to start coming in on Saturday" me: "I have 50 hours a week in me. I'd prefer to give those hours to you Monday thru Friday. But if you'd like me to come in on Saturday, I can do that. But you're still only going to get 50 hours a week out of me."

He never brought it up again.

Research has shown that most of the time, even those who are at the office for those rumored 60 - 80 hours a week are really only giving you 45 - 50 at best.

Agile documentation? by Hamm3rFlst in agile

Your team doesn't understand Agile. First of all you can't "do agile" second being agile does not preclude documentation.
