  1. I reached a goal I’d worked toward for years: becoming a successful independent software development consultant.

    Then I had to answer a harder question: what comes next?

    That search led to a lot of research, a long interactive chat with ChatGPT, and eventually the PurposeCompass Framework.

  9. @jbrains @qcoding @marick Yes! I practice long term refactoring #ltr. Only spend a reasonable amount of time with each code change #refactoring the code around it towards a more testable/maintainable design. Doing this helps increase the probability you are only refactoring code that will likely change in the future and not touching code that will probably never change and doesn't need a better design.

  10. @djlink experienced this yesterday. Wrote a parameterized unit test with 6 rows with #MSTest and it took a minute to run them all. Switched to #xUnit and took 72ms. I felt like the boiled frog. I had noticed #MSTest getting slower but didn't think it had gotten that bad.

  11. In the #MWNN you are free to pick and choose whichever processes you feel will help your team succeed. Like Tuco does to assemble his perfect gun. To me this extremely light weight methodology, of all the methodologies, best fits the agile manifesto's number one value "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools".

  12. With the #MWNN there is no need for sprints and sprint planning where you try to guess how many stickies you can do in the sprint, and flagellate yourselves if you don't complete your guessed number of stickies or oddly even if you complete more stickies than you guessed. I find this about as useful as medieval monks arguing about how many angels can do the Mambo No.5 on the head of a pin.

  13. The #MWNN is simple. You add a column on the #kanban board that is a prioritized list of work that is ready to start work on next. But the trick is that the column has a reverse WIP limit, where you make sure the number of stickies in the column never falls below the reverse WIP limit number.

    So I call it the Methodology with No Name(#MWNN), like Sergio Leone's character the Man with No Name.

  29. Inspired by this towardsdatascience.com/how-i-c I added @session-control /analyze and /implement commands to my Session Control(marketplace.visualstudio.com/i) #VSCode extension that analyzes the chats saved in the .chat folder for things that could be added to your AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILLS.md etc. to make future chats run smoother.
