Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Monday, September 30, 2013. When to Create a SetUp Method. I recall from back when the Earth was cooling and I was spending a of time in Seattle (read: "living there") that there was a lot of advice flying around about the forces surrounding designing individual tests. That, to me, settles the "when" question by obviating it and uncovering a much more interesting question: what. Should you factor out into a set-up method? Let's look at two examples. Here's a ...

Max Guernsey, III: Agile Database Resources
http://maxg3prog.blogspot.com/p/agile-database-resources.html
Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. As I run into agile database resources, I write them down here. Ten Tips for Constructing an Agile Database Development Environment that Works. This is an article I wrote as a companion to my book. It's kind of a "whirlwind tour" of the most prominent technical concepts in the book. Test-Driven Database Development: Unlocking Agility. This one of Scott W. Ambler's websites. It's got all his thinking as well as some contributions from others.

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Friday, September 26, 2014. A viable stand-in for every free-form poem. He fired an electric beagle at her. Cumulus hairballs in a Tycho lace hack! It was too late to return the pancakes. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 09, 2014. My friend and current boss, Al Shalloway. Has been talking with be about cogito ergo sum.

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Sunday, September 07, 2014. First, I'll Rant About How Crazy People Are. If you're one of those people who is insane but can't face it so you call my ideas nuts, you might want to skip this section. You know who you are (but can't admit it). When I learned about Descartes's discovery. I learned from someone who understood what it really meant. It sure looks to me like he meant the right thing but there's no point in arguing with someone over what a dead guy m...

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Referencing Concepts from Presentations. I've been delivering shorter presentations of late. To keep things compact, I've been experimenting with just saying "I'm assuming you're familiar with these things. If not, there are resources to help you with them.". In retrospect, this is obvious but I certainly failed to predict it. Keep materials on hand that address assumed knowledge and adapt a talk to the audience's needs. Tuesday, F...

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Code Retreat for JavaScript and Ruby Developers. I'm thinking of putting together a little meetup where I can help developers who prefer Ruby and JavaScript improve their focus and discipline. Both languages have critical flaws in them that make it harder to adhere to object-oriented principles and, as a result, developers who choose these languages must require a far greater amount of concentration in order to do a good job.

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Tuesday, January 07, 2014. Why Revision Control is Not Enough. Several people have suggested that revision control might be an alternative to creating a class of databases. I really have no way to counter such an argument because I cannot fathom what they were thinking in the first place. Whereas a revision control system tracks versions for the benefit of the development process, a class of databases must track revisions for the benefit of the database-const...

Max Guernsey, III. Suffer not a fool to live. Thursday, July 25, 2013. So Long, Old Friends. This is the complaint I submitted to Starbucks and my final communique with them, I suppose. I terminated the auto-reload on my card because of the changeover to La Boulange. Of course, it doesn't bother me that you added their products to your offering - what reasonable person would be bothered by that? However, in so doing, you took away all the good food items.
