Ever have one of those days where everything you check into source control is wrong? Also, how exactly is that day is different from any other? But seriously. Code that is visible is code that...Coding Horror has been updated @ 04:33 am, Nov 05/09
I've spent a significant part of my life online. Not just on the internet, I mean, but on modems and early, primitive online communities. Today's internet is everything we couldn't have possibly...Coding Horror has been updated @ 01:07 am, Nov 03/09
That Stack Overflow thing we launched a year ago? It's been going pretty well so far. Of course, everyone knows you could code Stack Overflow in a long weekend. It's trivial. Assembling a...Coding Horror has been updated @ 03:25 pm, Oct 26/09
