I've noticed that I write software in one of three modes: For myself: Shortcuts, less testing, not well-factored. For myself but in public: Mostly POP Forums , which I try to avoid letting it suck since others will use it and see the code. For sharing...
Let me tell you a story of HR-discouraged workplace fun. Back in the day, prior to the crash-and-burn of Insurance.com, we had this thing in the development part of the company called the Scoring Game. I wrote about it a couple of years ago on my personal...
Just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I've got an updated version of our most recent POP Forums drop. The new v9.2.1 adds Spanish along side of Danish, German and English as available languages. It has no new features or bug fixes, so if you have...
POP Forums v9.2.0 is the third release for the ASP.NET MVC3 version of POP Forums. It is feature complete, stable, and ready for feedback. For previous release notes, see previous releases. Check out the live preview: http://popforums.com/Forums Setup...

I was very relieved to see that Umbraco is ditching XSLT as a rendering mechanism in the forthcoming v5. Thank God for that. After working in this business for a very long time, I can't think of any other technology that has been inappropriately used...
This is actually a re-post from my personal blog . I'll make the usual disclaimer here that I'm not calling out anyone specifically, whether it be at Microsoft or elsewhere. It's just a topic that I feel very strongly about. I have to admit that I've...
