New phone, maybe
Yes, I know! I’m add it again. There is a a new Windows Phone OS and a new Microsoft Lumia. Since the last price bump for an iPhone 6s I’m having a hard time justifying the price tag. When I look at the Lumia 950xl and the pricing and features it look more what I want from a phone.
Frustrating Speech Recognition
This must be one of the must frustrating experiences a developer can endurre. I laughed through the entire video when he tries to write code through speech recognition.
Still an Intermediate Developer
A good intermediate developer needs less supervision. They can be trusted to raise issues of code design, and play a valuable role in design discussions. They are also the “workhorses” of the dev team. However, further mentoring and higher level supervision is still vital.
I’m an experienced developer, with lots of baggage. But reading this broad generalization I’m still an intermediate developer and I’m fine with that. There are still much to learn.
Getters and Setters are highly overused
I’ve seen millions of people claiming that public fields are evil, so they make them private and provide getters and setters for all of them. I believe this is almost identical to making the fields public, maybe a bit different if you’re using threads (but generally is not the case) or if your accessors have business/presentation logic (something ‘strange’ at least). I’m not in favor of public fields, but against making a getter/setter (or Property) for everyone of them, and then claiming that doing that is encapsulation or information hiding… ha!
