When an engineering manager tries to sell you on developing software in iterations, it sounds like a scam waiting to happen. You pay them money to write software for some number of hours, but the developers offer no guarantee that they'll finish the features you're asking for. It's not even like getting your bathroom renovated; sure, the…

I tweeted about ORM last week, and since then several people have asked me to clarify what I meant. I have actually previously written about ORM, but it was in the context of a larger discussion about SQL and I shouldn't have confused the two issues. So here I'm going to focus on ORM itself. I'm also going to try to be very brief, since it became very apparent from my SQL article that people tend to stop reading at the first sentence that makes them angry (and then leave a comment about it, whether or not their point is addressed later on). What's an anti-pattern? I was pleased to discover that Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of anti-patterns, both from within the world of programming and outside of it. The reason I call ORM an anti-pattern is because it matches the two criteria the author of AntiPatterns used to distinguish anti-patterns from mere bad habits, specifically: It initially appears to be beneficial, but in the long term has more bad consequences than good ones An alternative solution...

I think it's code that does what you need it to do and is ready when you need it. Those are the two iron requirements. If it doesn't do the job or isn't ready when I need it, it's not good code. Testability, maintainability, extensibility, the mythical "elegance": all great qualities of code. Sacrificing them entirely to ship faster is lazy hacking. Do as much of them as you have time to do. But they're not more important. If the code is wonderfully tested and six weeks late it

The Unix Philosophy defines a culture of how to write tooling in the Unix world. At its core, the Unix Philosophy is about designing tools that work together. A consequence is that there must be some rules or convention such that programs can communicate. The power of the Unix Philosophy is that it lets us both automate our workflows and also build more sophisticated and powerful solutions by combining tools.
