IT Hare on Soft.ware
If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...
If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...
If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...
...then 'No Bugs' Hare on Soft.ware might be the right place for you.
Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included

Different teams use very different development processes, with very different results.

IT Hares have collectively spent quite a bit of time developing in small- and medium-sized teams, and are ready to share their own experiences with different development processes.

Quote: “Yes, a coding architect might work (and is indeed orders of magnitude better than an architect who has no clue about the code), but a knowledge-sharing architect will generally work better.”
Another Quote: “As a nice side effect, the very same knowledge sharing weakens a dependency on the architect (and reducing any dependency on a specific person is a Universally Good Thing™).”

Quote: “DON’T use C-style cast, EVER. If you DO need a cast – DO spend time on figuring out which of C++ *_cast<>s you really mean (and maybe, you’ll find a way to avoid that cast at all)”

Pre-Coding Checklist: Things Everybody Hates, but Everybody Needs Them Too. From Source Control to Coding Guidelines

posted by

Quote: “The basic idea behind Continuous Integration is simple: as soon as you commit something, a build is automatically run with all the tests you were able to invent by that time”
Another Quote: “One thing which should be noted about agile criticisms, is that there is no real disagreement about what needs to be done; the sentiment in such criticisms is usually more along the lines of “we’re doing it anyway, so do we need fancy names and external consultants?””
