Let’s assume you are manager (or just part of) a small department. The task of the department is to make sure that everybody in the company is using Grglwup for wumpeling and does so in the correct way. What do you do to achieve that?
The approach I see most of the times lets me wonder, [...]
Many developers try to get into (project)management. That is ok I guess. But what bothers me is, that many developers do that without actually wanting to be managers. It’s just that they want to make some progress and the only career option available is to get into management and manage larger and larger teams, or [...]
In my last blog post, I described how to use JUnit Theories to create large amounts of test runs, with very limited amount of work, like so:
import static org.junit.Assume.assumeTrue;
@RunWith(Theories.class)
public class TheorieTest {
@DataPoint
public static String a = "a";
@DataPoint
public static String b = "bb";
@DataPoint
public static String c = "ccc";
@Theory
public void stringTest(String x, String y) {
assumeTrue(x.length() > [...]

I am a big fan of creating at least the basic structure of your database from the domain model using hibernate. But if you work with Oracle you know on problem with this approach: the length of names is seriously limited for tables and columns. So if you have a inner class with embeddables you [...]
You probably know this feeling: You take a look at somebody’s code and immediately think “Oh my god this is ugly” More seldom, yet it also happens that you think “man this looks nice” even before you have the slightest idea of what the code is all about.
I hereby claim that the chance of your [...]

Heather O’Cull erklärt in ihrem jüngsten Artikel die Funktionsweise von Abhängigkeiten in MS-Project, bzw. allgemein in der Netzplantechnik. Leider unterläuft ihr bei der Auswahl der Beispiele einen klassischen Fehler: Statt wirklich tatsächliche Einschränkungen mit den Abhängigkeiten abzubilden, benutzt sie in den Beispielen Abhängigkeiten um eine Planung, die sie im Kopf hat in MS-Project abzubilden. Und [...]
