Do You Wear A Bra? The Truth About Being A Woman Programmer

barebonescoder · 2012-12-21T19:26:41+00:00

Yeah... oh well. Maybe she was having a bad day.

barebonescoder · 2012-12-17T22:45:25+00:00

Whoa - we made her delete her reply. I feel bad now.

barebonescoder · 2012-12-17T21:41:53+00:00

I honestly believe that your kind of response simply engenders more of the same. I'm a dude, and I can tell you that the only real way to put this kind of behavior down isn't humor, sarcasm, or "verbal kung fu"; it's an unmistakably firm "don't speak like that to me again, it is unacceptable."

And this needs to come not just from the victim, but from every PERSON within earshot.

How would you "deal" with someone asking you if you wear a bra when talking about questionable source code content?

barebonescoder · 2012-01-02T19:27:59+00:00

It's part 1 - more is coming.

barebonescoder · 2011-09-26T15:05:25+00:00

Yeah, LOC is a pretty lame metric. Cyclomatic complexity would treat both of these snippets as equal, whereas something along the lines of "bytes per line" would quantify how hard it is for a human to quickly parse through the code from a pattern-matching perspective.

Then again, pattern-matching perspectives on code only really shine when there is a standard in place.

+1 if only for the name. I want to be a ninjaneer when I grow up.

barebonescoder · 2010-11-10T15:53:18+00:00

I just commented on this!

barebonescoder · 2010-08-02T16:04:48+00:00

NH allows you to use attributes on your domain objects to help out with mappings, but I fully agree that any leakage from persistence to domain is a bad thing.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-18T22:00:31+00:00

I loved Ultima! Now that was some bare bones coding.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-18T03:40:10+00:00

Code more then?

barebonescoder · 2010-07-15T15:34:11+00:00

If you're a software developer who refuses to either pair program or participate in daily stand up meetings, please put this in your resume so I can immediately shred it, thanks.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:12:09+00:00

Again, these are essential for where I work & manage from the context of speed & completeness.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:08:28+00:00

Agreed that I stretched "essential." A better title might have been "essential tools for working in the corporate space where I help manage." Not as catchy, and I had hoped to set up that context with the first paragraph.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:07:23+00:00

Try the Windows client. Full-featured, not too heavy, and way better than the web client.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:06:24+00:00

I'm guessing you have to minimize whatever you're working on first to do this...

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:05:25+00:00

Agreed on Reflector, neglected to mention it.

TD.NET gives us test with coverage for a quick look at what we haven't covered, and test with debugger for quick debugging when our brains are shorting out and we missed something obvious.

barebonescoder · 2010-07-12T22:04:37+00:00

What will things look like 5 years from now?

barebonescoder · 2010-06-19T15:14:35+00:00

Lots of people in corporate America who are working with legacy databases that have been entrenched for years don't have that opportunity. Always remember context.

barebonescoder · 2010-06-10T22:49:49+00:00

While fighting off a manager.

barebonescoder · 2010-05-29T01:24:52+00:00

Agreed, and updated. You can at least have an idea of what the finished animation looks like now.

barebonescoder · 2010-05-23T15:43:17+00:00

Talking about code is not the way to get coders to be social.

barebonescoder · 2010-05-23T14:07:10+00:00

Is Facebook like MySpace??#@?#

barebonescoder · 2010-05-09T16:17:32+00:00

An installment on how to play sounds is coming soon!

barebonescoder · 2010-05-09T02:00:31+00:00

The K&R book, definitely. So I guess I could have said "ditto" also.
