Good morning London.

Good morning from the North

mrnng

morning

Hello there from Manila in the evening… 😉

What are you guys up to today?

I am drawing a graph of "Where shit comes from, where shit goes" for all the entry/exit points from our marketing campaigns

I am wiring up a complex piece of functionality in BackboneJS and PHP Basically someone, somewhere is having a lot more fun and I am paying some kind of price to balance them out.

morning :simple_smile:

fixing tests for a django app yay

especially enjoying fixing a test of more than 100 lines

a test that is more than a 100 lines long..? *boggle*

yeah well...

it should be splitted in multiples tests

Nonesense

trying to come up with a strategy to instil learning in my team (not just devs), thinking of doing an occasional show & tell day. ideas welcome..

here we have cross-team weekly show and tell

is it stuff you’re working on, or anything?

stuff we are working on, but said stuff can come from self directed R&D

we also sometimes make presentation about things we are interested in, but not as often

One company I used to work at gave the floor for 5mins after standups to talk about new tech

Mostly was me ranting about new APIs and tech, as I don't think the rest of the team gave a shit. but hey.

occasionally it paid off and we got to play with some new stuff because of it

haha

we also tried doing cross-team tutorials once a month. e.g. I did one for the ColdFusion developers on the basics of the Django framework

but hard to get people to volunteer to do them. I think the senior CF dev got volun-told to do one

volun-told hahaha

that’s sad that people are not interested in that

it can be so cool

I think a part of the problem is modesty

coldfusion still rockin?

I think they still use CF

so yeah

it's out there

I remember when they switched to use the JVM

so basically they are JSPs..

when I was forced to use it, I embedded jython into the project, and just did my work in python

wasn't long until I was no longer forced to use it

:D

I worked for a company that used them (i worked on something else), it just got reported to me as an utter hackfest

yeah

the only way to do OOP in it was use the XML programming language

D:

IMHO PITA

and then we will try and recreate the problem they are seeing. fail.

How’s tricks @thomas what you up to this evening
