Tech debt day yesterday: reviewed tech debt tickets, closed a bunch and voted the biggest obstacles. Today: start removing those obstacles.
-
On IM for the first time in 5 months. Kinda sad about it.
-
As expected, I played around with Google Wave for a day or two. Haven't touched it for 3+ months.
-
The default Chrome page (showing recently closed pages) is nifty. Unless you're hooked up to a projector.
-
Ahhhh... Retrospective day. Always fun finding new ways to get better.
-
Love the smell of freshly deleted code (and specs) in the morning.

Only using firefox nowadays when It's All Text is required and for gnarly DOM/JS issues best deciphered by Firebug. #chrome

Yay! Twitter's back. I missed it so.

Fog machine and laser lights are back in the office. Sweet.

Need to figure out what's next in book club (already done PragProg, Passionate Prog, and DP in Ruby). Maybe Clojure (some group interest).
-
Brown bag lunch on Interpreter, DSLs and Meta-Programming from Design Patterns in Ruby. The latter 2 feel a bit dated. One chapter to go!
-
Good talk with QA team re: integrating Cucumber more into their process—both catching obvious bugs & driving changes to their testing plans.

Bummer. Buddy of mine, who left coding for _marketing_ got laid off. Thought he was crazy when he did it. Hard to gloat now. Stupid economy.
-
Why "vendor" (as in vendor/rails, vendor/plugins)?
-
Heading downstairs to setup for @bmoreonrails. Looking forward to @avdi's Confident Code :)
-
The disco ball is on as I await the start of @bmoreonrails!
-
Amazed that it has been so long since code has filled me with a desire to hit something. Has the code gotten that good or am a boiled frog?
-
If I ever come across the "programmer" that produced this application again, I'm going to slap him.
-
Dying inside as I review / try to work with code that I allowed an external contractor to own for over a year.
-
Fighting with SQL Server's inability to utf8. Cursing those that chose this friggin DB.
