Why aren't I an MVP?(codebetter.com)

submitted by klaus_b0klaus_b0(210) 3 years, 3 months ago

There's a problem with the MVP program I'd like to talk about. The fact that I'm no longer an MVP (haven't been for over a year now) isn't the problem, merely a symptom. My problem is that I don't know why I'm not an MVP, and by extension I don't know why others are. The process of becoming and remaining an MVP is completely opaque. Plainly, the MVP program lacks transparency. read more...

Fast Serialization(codebetter.com)

submitted by adminjewadminjew(1490) 3 years, 9 months ago

We use ALOT of serialization in the current system I work with. Serializing/deserializing 100,000,000 objects in a day is pretty common. For a long time we knew that the binary formatter was fat and slow but never rationalized writing something custom as we were always fast enough. Unfortunately our data throughput has raised 400% in the last year (when you start with gigs and gigs of messages this is a huge gain) and our little three or four year old dual xeon 2.2 has turned into the little engine that could during peaks lately so we finally bit the big one and threw something together quickly. read more...

Have you heard of SFD?(codebetter.com)

submitted by wisemxwisemx(8074) 4 years, 3 months ago

OK, you've heard of TDD and BDD, but have you heard of SFD? SFD stands for Simple-First Development. It's a principle that we're driving on as we move forward in our "Prism" (Composite WPF) project. Essentially it means that when we attempt to solve any problem, let's start with focusing on the easiest path that addresses the most common cases rather than over-complexifying the simple cases in order to handle the edge cases. read more...
