January 22, 2013. There are many reasons to extract methods in old legacy code. Sometimes you just see a small piece of cohesive code and you ask yourself whether you can name it. If you can, extracting that code to a method is often a decent thing to do. . In the following code, its easy to see that the while loop could be extracted into a simple method that forms a vector from the lines that we read from a file. Its a decent extraction, but is it high value? Lets look a little closer. When I talk ...

Michael Feathers: The Single Responsibility and Open/Closed Principle are the Same

http://michaelfeathers.typepad.com/michael_feathers_blog/2013/07/the-single-responsibility-principle-leads-to-good-openclosed-characteristics.html

Laquo; Flipping Assumptions with 'Programmer Anarchy'. Unconditional Programming ». July 23, 2013. The Single Responsibility and Open/Closed Principle are the Same. Consider a class C and a set of potential feature changes F. If class C has two responsibilities, it is likely that many F in F will only affect code for one of those responsibilities in C. Now consider separating responsibilities by breaking C into C1 and C2. If F only applies to C1, C2 is closed with respect to F. Posted by: Philip schwarz.

Michael Feathers: Unconditional Programming

http://michaelfeathers.typepad.com/michael_feathers_blog/2013/11/unconditional-programming.html

Laquo; The Single Responsibility and Open/Closed Principle are the Same. November 05, 2013. If we are working in an object-oriented language, we can replace switch-statements with polymorphism. The same trick works well for if-statements too, but it can be overkill in simple cases. When we use languages with functional features, we can do most of the work that we do in loops using maps, filters, and folds. Control structures end up disappearing, and that can be a good thing. If else . end. A while ago, ...

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AND BAD CODE. What, you didn't know I was doin that? Well, fuck you. I don't have much know-how under my belt yet, but I'm learnin this Scala shit that all the kids seem to be playin with. It's fuckin great. I mean, where else can I make a method name of? And get away with it? The syntax looks just like I talk. So, what can I code? What I know about is governing, so let me distill this knowledge down to a mini-quick how-to-govern trait:.

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. There's been a lot of discussion about Agile Certification. A Rails Maturity Model. Are we always doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past? Remember the MS/Java/Sun/Linux certification craze of a few years ago? Yeah, same thing. For those of you coming into this industry, coming into Agile or Rails. Or for those somewhat experienced fellows looking for what to do next. Certification is not the answer. Let me now bestow upon you the few truths I know about this:. It will take you...
