  1. How do you know when you have something worthy to say?
  2. While reverse engineering is about automatic detection, software assessment is all about human decisions.
  3. Not long ago, only lesser programmers were testing. Now, only lesser programmers aren't testing.
  4. A glimpse of Glamour http://bit.ly/6NqOOB
  5. Most people use regular bikes to drive through the city. But those that jump over cliffs customize their bikes to fit their needs.
  6. Projects fail because of bad decisions. And bad decisions stem from incorrect assessment.
  7. It's not lupus, says Dr. House. Of course, this did not prevent him from identifying one. So, I say: It's not lupus until it is.
  8. My favorite Dr. House quote: It's not lupus. My translation: if you really wish to find it, you will find it even if it's not there.
  9. What's the problem with a 5000 LOC class? It's that someone opened it, entered line 5000 and closed it without any alarm going off.
  10. Patterns are not called recipes exactly because they are not.
  11. You mainly find what you are prepared to notice.
  12. You mainly find what you are looking for.
  13. We are visual beings. In fact, we many times use "to see" as a synonym for "to understand". Do you see my point?
  14. I was asked how much does the assessment effort cost? A better question would have been: how much does it cost not to do any assessment.
  15. There can always be another explanation. We just have to be open enough to recognize it.
  16. Not everyone should be allowed to design graphical interfaces. Perhaps permits would be a good idea. Just like for driving cars.
  17. Tools should empower not drive.
  18. Software is not soft and we can definitely not treat it lightly.
  19. A Q&A session is called like that because the questions are expected to be answered. So, when asked make sure you do answer the questions.
  20. What do you do when you cannot afford new things? You assess what you have and make the most of it.
