The weekly bag– Oct 5
Read on with pleasure, baby:
- You Know Your Project is in Trouble When…- Ah, a good list presented here.
- Rails: Maintainable Code- It took quite a long time before people starting talking about Struts maintainability, so it’s good to see people addressing the issue with newer, more hip frameworks.
- Shouldn’t this be a compiler error?- This is a great read, especially from the comments, man.
- We don’t write tests. There just isn’t time for luxuries.- James does a good job of elaborating why this comment is bogue.
- Is CMMI Overrated?- Jason does a great job on this post– “Having a CMMI certification does not guarantee anyone that we will perform in a manner which will satisfy our customers, only that we will perform in a manner which will ensure we can check boxes.”
- New for Visual Studio 2008 - Code Metrics- I like the “Maintainability Index” metric, but as I’ve mused before, man, there is only one metric that matters, baby.
- Polish Your Build- I prefer to spit-shine mine, man.

Thanks for the love, Andy! Seeing overreliance on any process, no matter how good, goes under my fingernails. It takes away the ability for people to innovate and to see the big picture. Process is good. Too much process creates automatons.
