You in DC? My Software Dev Management book club is this evening: http://www.meetup.com/DC-Agile-Software-Management-Book-Club/events/219331798/

Add a stray , to the end of a line in a #python file and watch the fun begin.

If developers named their children with the same contempt they have for variable names, they'd all be named Meh.

"we have seen product management teams churn out product requirement documents so long and complex they are unreadable." Mnging the Unmangbl

PyCharm community edition, does it support TFS? I can't get it to work either: http://8thstring.blogspot.com/2014/07/pycharm-34-community-edition-does-not.html (but I got it to work in pro edition)

If you put #AmazonEcho and #siri together, will they argue with each other?

#python Let's put every single variable into a dict.We'll simulate complex types w/concatenated key strs. sort of a dict layer over __dict__

Is #Lenovo shipping the data it intercepts to the PRC's various agencies? Sounds like a perfect international surveillance system.

If you own a Lenovo, you need to remove superfish, ref: https://superuser.com/questions/848853/what-is-best-deals-products-and-is-it-malware and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27338272/what-is-the-superfish-ssl-certificate-and-where-did-it-originate

The great vertical white space shortage of 2014 is over. Please look to the key between the \ and the shift key and use it more often.

If you access self.__vars in the python repo, I will break you knee caps and revert your commit, that's what access control has come to.

The force of jedi python. Strike down these scoping double underscores and the bugs will become more powerful than you could ever imagine.

https://searchcode.com Currently trying to figure out how to search for "throw up" in C# repos and how to find "pass # gas" in python repos

Using python dictionaries as models in a GUI (not, MVC, nor MV*, closer to ***) creates a nasty muddle.

What are the odds I have a statistics wonk on my follow list? http://formarshgroup.theresumator.com/apply/jobs/details/EpBGZ5?

quacks like a duck alrighty! actually it's been reassigned to a list. Oops now it is a duck again. Now it is reassigned to a network socket.

In this app-there is ONLY 1 reason any class can change. That reason is-any one of *all* the other classes needed to change. SRP in practice

I own a samsung TV, but I will never buy one of these: http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/11/8017771/samsung-smart-tvs-inserting-unwanted-ads You can't make me.

Wow, my productivity now that I don't have to compile every few minutes... it's the *same*. You have to run lint every few minutes.

If you have 50 static methods that all mutate on the same state-holding first-argument object, maybe you have a class.

This framework/language doesn't get in your way! Lets you do anything you want! Create a mess, shoot your feet, write bugs, fail, anything!

I wish code bases could vote. I'd ask for a show of hands of how often "dynamic" and "untyped" is just an excuse for cluster-f* coding.

Inappropriate OOP beats cluster-f* implemented in any other programming paradigm.

I can't down vote tweets. Reply is too confrontational. Unfollow is overkill. Turn-off retweets is really untargeted. Sigh.

multiple massive else/if blocks that switch on instance type. Horrors. Horrors.

Every time you name a 2 letter variable, you are saving negative 8 hours of typing, 1/2 your own, 1/2 the professional who gets your code

The #AmazonEcho out o the blue said "Porn added shopping list" and no one was talking and it happens again a few minutes later. What?!

PyCharm Inspect keeps saying "unexpected argument". What does it think, that I'm going to just roll over and not argue with it?

Class A depends on every member of Class B. Class B depends on all members of Class A. Maybe this is neo, the one!

New phrase: dependency pollution. When every class in your application has a reference to TkInter.

App A-let's call it Subversion, install python to a place-lets call it c:\csvn\python25, and sets PYTHONHOME in the env...Pycharm crashes.

If your application has 2 or more God classes, is it polytheistic? Do atheists believe in applications with God classes?

In an org where the training says never make a decision, always get your supervisor to decide, that applies to supervisors, too, right?

What up w/ websites that try to get you to sign up before you know what the website is even offering? Maybe it's just an identity harvester?

Some dev seem to think there is a shortage of vertical space in source code and it must be conserved at ALL COSTS. NEVER HIT ENTER. EVER.
