Earlier today, a new video of Windows 10 for Phones showing off some new features. The video shows off a new settings for developers – dubbed as “For Developers”. Does that come with leather interior and racing stripes?

Here is my list of heuristics and rules of thumb for software development that I have found useful over the years. "O this learning, what a thing it is!"

Yup, pretty much how I have always worked so gets my 5.

Nice article. Short, to the point, and IMHO right on the money. +5

This is why software development is not a science. We seem to keep repeating these lessons every few months as if they are revelations. Seems like nobody actually pays attention.

Agreed. I waffled on this one a few times, as everything seemed ... like everyone should know them. But, I guess it just takes hitting the heads with yet another hammer. Or I'm just wasting time repeating it, and people will forget again in a few minutes.
Wait. What was I talking about again?

I would take great care in polishing my code only to find out nobody actually cares. Well, now my feelings are hurt

Well, I care!
Mind, not about your code, about mine.

Well, sure. They didn't say no one cares about Sascha's code, just mine

Polish the outside, tune the inside.
(Technically this is for cars, but the metaphor works for code)

Only slightly apropos, but I was out for a bike ride on Sunday, and I saw a guy washing his car. He was busy polishing the inside of the fuel tank door (whatever the official name for that thing is).

The corollary to that is I have a pretty good sense of the rust the polish is trying to cover up. It's funny how the outside reflects the quality of workmanship on the inside.

An open, fully connected environment is impossible and dangerous, which is why IoT is really a collection of separate networks. Forget all that other stuff you've heard

And, uh, oh....
I tested http://codeproject.com the Google Testing app couldn't find the site.
I tested http://www.codeproject.com and there are some issues as those of us with Android devices know.
Sorry, all CPians.
Knowledge is power though.
EDIT
Worse yet. Just tested stackoverflow.com and it passed. Ugh!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
