While reading blogs during today morning, I read an interesting one , which captures the way I feel about Pair-Programming. I have my opinion before (old posts), and it’s slightly updated since then, but at the end I still think it’s a great way and not...
We are using Hudson as a build server, and one of the lasts steps that were taken is to mark a build as ‘unstable’ when we pass a certain number of TODO comments in our code (an arbitrary number). While I am not a 100% sold on a number, I think it’s a...

I am amazed. Not everyday you can find a great application that just works the way you expect it to work. Hudson is our teams’ CI engine of choice. We used CruiseControl , but it is no where close to what Hudson is capable. Features I loved most of all...
In my previous post I talked about efficiency of whiteboard with stickies as a tracking tool for a project progress. During last iteration, our PM has suggested to “color code” features with different color stikies. Boy it worked great. Apparently, this...
