Coding Horror Christopher Hawkins - Software development and Web development projects done effectively Lean Software Engineering Henrik Kniberg's blog I debug, refactor, and optimize IT companies. And jam alot too. Friendly Guide to Climate Change (and what you can do about it) I’ve spent ALOT of time the past few months trying to understand climate change and global warming, and how to effectively contribute. So here’s a short animated video summarizing the whole issue. Please help spread it as widely as possible! I hope this video will inspire many people to make small changes, and a few people to make big changes. read more Effective carbon offsetting – what we’ve learned and what we’re doing Flying causes global warming. Fly as little as possible. The obvious question then is – HOW do you carbon offset? So is there another way to carbon offset?

Herding Cats Signal processing is a domain of software development well suited to the paradigm of engineered systems. In today's world, hardware and packaged solutions have replaced the 10's of 1,000's of punch cards needed to process signals. Matlab is one example. This early work took me into other fields of engineered systems. There was even an effort at one time to have a system that translated formal specifications into code - skipping the coding part. large-scale heterogeneous systems, embedded systems for automotive applications, telecommunications, wireless ad hoc systems, business applications with an emphasis on web services etc. Our daily lives depend on complex software-intensive systems, from banking to communications to transportation to medicine. And of course estimating the effort and duration of SISoS is a critical success factor for any business providing products and services to this domain. So when would a software system NOT be Engineered to fit the Needs of the Customer?
