I hear what you're saying, and I basically agree. However, I still see some shops building new product with Jakarta Struts, hand coded javascript, and no continuous integration. They spend way too much time doing things…

He didn't say it was false. He did say it was unsupported.
Much respect for the frankness and forthrightness with which he addressed this. I've always taken the exponential increase in the cost of bug fixes with time for granted. I won't do so in the future. We need more…
Funny, I just started reading about adversarial stylometry the other day. https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~mb553/stuff/Indiana_20110407.pdf
"TDD is nearly useless when your code is the opposite of what I've described above: specific and mostly trivial, with complexity coming from the sheer amount of methods and their interactions. " In other words, badly…
...and then multiply that cost by the probability that this will happen to find the expected payoff. If the work costs substantially more than the payoff, don't bother. If substantially less, you're negligent if you…
