All software processes are inherently continuous self-improvement and continuous delivery. Other than the iteration rate, I really don't see the distinction between traditional waterfall and scrum. Release dates with traditional waterfall are measured in months, sometimes years, while scrum releases are measured in w...

Your "salt" here isn't really a nonce. It's more like the key to your home-made MAC. Now, I know what a linear feedback shift register is, but I'm assuming that your `lfsr` is a referentially transparent function? Also a dictionary attack on the key isn't really feasible. Both Triple DES and AES are resistant t...

Hey, at least you get a fixed direction. I'm the only developer working on the company's main product.

I personally feel that the term manager doesn't fit well into the scrum methodology. I feel that a manager is a person who is, in some way or another, in a superior role. This is not the case for the ScrumMaster. In my experiece, the ScrumMaster holds no more authority over the scrum team than any other team member.

I don't really understand the concept of a shippable product at the end of every iteration. Recently I worked on a project that had 3 deliverables to the customer.

Less feedback versus more feedback-- both internal process feedback and external customer feedback. I think saying that waterfall provides continuous improvement is stretching the definition of continuous. If you don't know you have a problem for months/years as opposed to weeks, you adapt more slowly.

That's a big part of it. Effective meetings are (not surprisingly) a must, starting with who you involve in those meetings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_and_the_Pig Also you'll want to have different periodicity in your meetings. Meetings with chickens-- people you report to-- should happen less often. ...

You do have a good point. One way to measure is to actually remove something, and see if there's a reaction. Personally, I find the spell checking to be surprisingly useful. On a long name, I find out immediately if I forgot an import or simply misspelled it - and what the correct spelling is.

Grabbing a reference for a value stored in the main function and another in the currently executing function will give you the current top and bottom of the stack in most C or C++ implementations, but there is no guarantee that it will work.

Reference counting is a very, very poor mans garbage collector. It is almost unusably slow when using multiple threads, it smashes the cache, it has lousy branch prediction performance, and it still forces you to do a bunch of manual work to avoid circular references.

It's the opposite extreme of something that has infuriated me when trying to develop against website's APIs. Here you have a fanatical dedication to backwards compatibility, if it worked once it'll work again. With a lot of web APIs you have no assurance that it will work in 5 minutes, let alone 5 years.

I was mostly talking about URL obfuscation/overcomplication in general, but here's an example for integer IDs: in "http://y.com?article=123" you know you're at the 123th article and can easily navigate to the next, previois, first etc. article, even if the web designer forget buttons for these. If it's "http://y.com?m=...

Though I'm not a huge fan of automated testing at all times, that quote understates greatly where testing helps. Mainly because good testing doesn't just show you how screwed you are, it shows you what parts of the system are screwed up.

Upvoted for the mention at the end of Xtext. From [the website](http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/2_0_0/000-introduction.php) > Xtext is a sophisticated framework that helps to implement your very own DSL with appropriate IDE support. So you get compilation to JVM and Eclipse support? Awesome.

On platforms that support dynamic loading, I never understood why you'd prefer resorting to a textual dynamic config file. Just defer config options to a config object that's loaded dynamically, and you can use the static typing of your favourite language to ensure your config is at least somewhat correct.
