Even when viewing the subject in the most objective way possible, it is clear that software, as a product, generally suffers from low quality. Take for example a house built from scratch.

But you know that the code is useful enough that if the architecture ever sways back, that function will be again useful?

Hi all, I'm doing research on some non-brittle release process techniques in a 24x7x365 web service environment.

Let's assume that everyth...

My question is: if I were to begin using git-svn, would I need to do some or all of my version control work from the command-line? Or is the...
There is a strong case out there for companies who are experiencing scaling problems with their current architecture to simply spend $$$ on cutting edge hardware to achieve the performance and scale they require. In most cases I have experienced and read about, the business case for software re-architecture never stacks up against the b...
Computer science and programming is a field with a relatively short history but it is developing very rapidly.

I'm starting up a web design shop and hoping to also get into custom software development. So the problem I'm having now is coming up with a name for the company.
