  1. @patrickdlogan Indeed, if I recall correctly global/local is configurable within assemblies as well.
  2. @patrickdlogan Yep and version management becomes easier - each process could have it's own version of it's dependents - reduces clashes.
  3. @patrickdlogan In essence, easier to upgrade a whole process (kill, xcopy/replace, start) as opposed to hot-patching bits of a running one.
  4. @patrickdlogan Not so much dynamic loading but probably for e.g. in-JVM package management, modules and hot-upgrade of .jars etc
  5. @patrickdlogan xcopy-install isn't tied to Windows - OS X apps do it too - it's more a conceptual approach.
  6. @patrickdlogan Yep, an OS-process and it's associated dependent bits (libraries and such) - think xcopy-install.
  7. WebApps '10 - could be good: http://bit.ly/1Tjfcp
  8. Thinking the signs point strongly at a process being the right unit for deployment etc rather than say individual packages within a process.
  9. @bigballofmud "Software professionals are presumed by many executives to possess paranormal skills" and vice versa in my experience...
  10. @lancewalton @channingwalton Waterfall is a perfect responsibility avoidance opportunity.
  11. -> @smcnamara: looks like "the cloud" will cure all ills, feed the hungry, world peace etc. - yep it's become as meaningless as SOA.
  12. @monadic Quite probably, though I have the distinct impression people don't see the costs that negate the value of the complexity.
  13. So much focus on managing complexity. Wouldn't we do better eliminating complexity so we can focus on delivering value?
  14. Why are so many devs prepared to give technical respect to vendors without so much as a challenging question? Tribal behaviour? Sheep?
  15. @jstrachan This http://bit.ly/4loDE8 works pretty well - make sure to setup sparse-band-size too: http://bit.ly/2f159j
  16. @jstrachan I have time machine running against a NAS, no problem - are you getting errors or something else?
  17. So-called cloud experts who put forward command and control architectures don't know what they're about - c&c doesn't work well distributed.
  18. Do you think business value is entirely about limitless compromises to code and ship right now?
  19. Do you put ego and personal enjoyment ahead of other considerations when you design and code?
  20. Do you consider whole lifecycle cost implications of design and code decisions? Implementation, deployment, operations, retirement?
