I’m not sure what makes it difficult people putting in a DNS entry so that [somesite].com redirects to www.[somesite].com. I hit Argos yesterday only to find out that apparently they use Websphere. That’s all very nice to know as a techie, but as a customer, it’s not quite the user experience I want.
Starting new projects always carries great responsibility but also offers a great opportunity to improve it by applying learnings from previous projects. Fortunately I’m currently in this position as one of the early developers on a greenfields project that’s been running for the last two weeks.
What I’m attempting to do this time is that instead of defining and/or enforcing a set of coding standards and patterns used throughout the project, I’m hoping to capture the thinking that goes along side the decisions as we make them, distilling them into a set of core principles we’re striving for. By capturing these core principles I hope it makes it easier for new people to come on board, provide a better context for analysing the code artefacts we create and still leaves an open discussion for newcomers to suggest better ways of achieving these same principles.
I’ve decided that it’s about high time that I split my work and my life blog. Although the feeds from work related categories had been fed into various things, you really can’t stop the power of search engines from stumbling across content. Rather than confuse people with the two different sets of content, I’m splitting them out. Here’s my first post.
