I have been writing about this in books and articles since the beginning of Microsoft .NET over 20 years ago. This first PSA is geared toward Project Managers and Development Managers as a warning, so their projects don't suffer from preventable issues like this that I see at every company I work for.
Did your parents ever tell you something like this… “Back when I was a kid, I had to walk 3 miles to school, in the snow!”? Well, this article is going to be something like that since I’m going to say that software engineering was easier when I started. The goal with this article is to start a conversation on how we can make the software development life cycle easier on software engineering teams.
I have been using Microsoft Office / 365 for all of my presentations, documents, spreadsheets, and more for decades. While I like it the best, there is a lot of room for improvement and like any software, it has issues. Below is my running list of these issues and features I think need to be … Continue reading Issues & Features Needed for Microsoft Office
On show #38 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am ranting about far too many .NET software engineers DO NOT understand how memory management works when it comes to disposable objects! Not matter what level of software engineer you are, you need to watch this episode... NOW!
On show #37 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am ranting about how the Windows refresh feature does not restore apps or most user data. The MAC OS does not have a refresh feature at all! This needs to be fixed and fast!
On show #36 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am ranting about all the security placed on software engineers and their work environments. As you can see from the poll below, over 50% of engineers are reporting that they are losing 6% to over 20% of productivity, daily! This has gotten out of hand!
On show #33 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am discussing why at some companies, it takes so long to get engineers onboarded so they can start coding and providing value to the company! I've seen this take one to two weeks! There has to be a better way!
On show #32 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am discussing why some companies do not focus on what they offer in a new version of their software the truly addresses the users needs and issues. I've seen this at companies I work and and for much of the software I use, on a daily basis.
On show #31 of Rockin' the Code World with dotNetDave, I am discussing why some companies hire "experts" and not take full advantage of them?
I have been part of many successful software projects. Unfortunately, I have seen many that have failed or will in the near future. By this point in my career, I thought companies would understand how software engineering works since the first software program was written in 1948! Sadly, I see companies make the same mistakes … Continue reading When Are Companies Going to Learn How Software Development Works?
