Incêndio no Andanças: Os Números das Seguradoras

Quantas seguradoras estão envolvidas?

Quantos veículos sinistrados estão afectos a cada seguradora?

Quem são as outras pessoas na minha seguradora?

Responder a este tipo de questões tem sido uma das muitas dificuldades do grupo de pessoas prejudicadas pelo incêndio do Andanças (no qual, infelizmente, eu me incluo).

Juntando a informação publicada pela GNR no espaço do evento(gentilmente…

By version 4.11, transitive dependencies have proliferated seemingly unchecked. We are far from the short dependency-chains and few cyclic-dependencies of good structure.

A software’s user-experience realization is just another term for what that software does. This user-experience realization and its structure are, however, practically orthogonal.

There are many ways to do this, but one way is to practice radial encapsulation. Figure 9 shows the evolution of a radially-encapsulated program that is bigger than JUnit yet has throughout its history retained a structural clarity that JUnit seems to have abandoned.

Programmers should be forced to wear their systems’ package-structures on their tee-shirts.

A better way…

Michael O. Church's answer to Why do some developers at strong companies like Google consider Agile development to be nonsense? - Quora

Michael O. Church's answer to Why do some developers at strong companies like Google consider Agile development to be nonsense? - Quora:

Before I get into why this “Agile” stuff is horrible, let’s describe where Agile/Scrum can work. It can work for a time-sensitive and critical project of short duration (6 weeks max) that cross-cuts the business and has no clear manager, because it involves people from multiple departments. You can call it a “Code Red” or call it a Scrum or a “War Room” if you have a physical room for it.

Note that “Agile” comes from the consulting world. It suits well the needs of a small consulting firm, not yet very well-established, that lands one big-ticket project and needs to deliver it quickly, despite changing requirements and other potential bad behavior from the client. It works well when you have a relatively homogeneous talent level and a staff of generalists, which might also be true for an emerging web consultancy.

Seth's Blog: More trouble than it's worth

Seth's Blog: More trouble than it's worth:

In five words, that’s one secret to delight. When you do the work that others can’t possibly imagine doing, you set yourself apart.

Seeking out the things that are more trouble than most people think they’re worth is a powerful place to be.

The hard part, of course, is actually doing something that appears to be far more trouble than it’s worth.

Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said… is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul…

From the movie Billy Madison (1995) [scene in context].
