nah, cerner's ceo is just a big baby and gets real worked up when his show sites decide to move to epic. word is that he's had to leave conferences and meetings several times because he couldnt control his emotions when losing a big customer.

it really chaps his rear end because we've taken a bunch of their show site customers and meanwhile the only customers to move from epic->cerner did so because they were acquired by larger organizations that didn't want to switch. and the funny thing is that usually those groups come back to us later anyway. there's a p funny cart about this we show sometimes at staff meeting, i'll have to see if that's a publicly sharable thing.

Lets take today, I came in to see my shame inbox filled with stacktrace emails, uh oh. Had a look at my commits, cool. I had merged in changes from another branch earlier in the day and commited the changes in to my branch without checking the files. I forgot I had some local changes in them, oops.

All the stack trace emails came from a line i accidently added where it was trying to subtract 2 lists (if I had wrapped each list in a set, it would have been fine), and it broke some stuff. Oops

This would be a non issue in java

We figured to just delay today's release, but since next week is month end then it won't be for another 2 weeks minimum.

On the flipside, it gave me a lot more time to fix things and I've still got ages left till next release. I'm still the solo dev on this project, which is pretty cool. It doesent have too many whacky development processes going on, and it has some good documentation for the ones that do exist

im being a very bad brogrammer

i.e. "more minuses than pluses in a commit means that commit is negative, +50-140=-90, means commit was loaded with negativity and is bad for programm, as in the app, which in turn means that this commit was a disruption" :downs:

oh no, it works fine and I can compile and write programs to my board which is pretty cool! I just meant the language is pretty complex and I can't do much beyond blinking an LED with the timer and writing things to the display yet.

http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Negative_2000_Lines_Of_Code.txt posted:

In early 1982, the Lisa software team was trying to buckle down for the big push to ship the software within the next six months. Some of the managers decided that it would be a good idea to track the progress of each individual engineer in terms of the amount of code that they wrote from week to week. They devised a form that each engineer was required to submit every Friday, which included a field for the number of lines of code that were written that week.

Bill Atkinson, the author of Quickdraw and the main user interface designer, who was by far the most important Lisa implementor, thought that lines of code was a silly measure of software productivity. He thought his goal was to write as small and fast a program as possible, and that the lines of code metric only encouraged writing sloppy, bloated, broken code.

He recently was working on optimizing Quickdraw's region calculation machinery, and had completely rewritten the region engine using a simpler, more general algorithm which, after some tweaking, made region operations almost six times faster. As a by-product, the rewrite also saved around 2,000 lines of code.

He was just putting the finishing touches on the optimization when it was time to fill out the management form for the first time. When he got to the lines of code part, he thought about it for a second, and then wrote in the number: -2000.

I'm not sure how the managers reacted to that, but I do know that after a couple more weeks, they stopped asking Bill to fill out the form, and he gladly complied.

metrics are for showing off to management how well your team met their goals, or even exceeded them. this should always be the case, because your team's goals should always be set so that even in the worst possible situation, you will easily achieve them. this is called being a good manager, and if your team isn't like this every single quarter, look to update your resume asap, or at least switch teams within the organization if possible
