30 minutes a day

Derrick

The simple act of reserving a tiny part of your day. Perhaps just 30 minutes. Of pure, uninterrupted focus. On the idea you want to make become reality. Will ensure at least some extent of progress. I guarantee you.

We are not stateful. We are not machines. Picking up where you left off becomes harder the longer you wait. There is no resume on ideas when you leave them dormant.

LearnProgramming via github

LearnProgramming organisation

LearnProgramming is an organization that grew out of the subreddit /r/learnprogramming, our aim is to provide a set of 'hackable' projects for beginners to contribute to in a open, encouraging atmosphere.

In many cases, it seems, new programmers feel daunted by the task of contributing to open source, they don't know what to do, how to write code that meets standards, or how to really contribute in an effective way to open source projects. This organization intends to provide a playground, staffed by the best and brightest self-elected members of the /r/programming community, where the new open source contributor can cut their teeth; contributing to real projects used in the real world, without fear of reproach or denial due to their beginner status.

Our Development Process: 50 Months of Evolution

Michael Dubakov, TargetProcess Founder

Our company is almost 6 years old now. It was founded on agile principles and grew up on them. We've used Extreme Programming from day 1, immixed some Scrum ideas later on and switched to Kanban in the end. Here below I've tried to review our process changes for the last 4 years.

A great insight into how processes evolved and what worked and didn't.

Instagram as a platform?

Using Instagram seems a viable business platform

Whether you already love it or are just now getting into the craze, this roundup is all about helping you get the most out of your Instagram photo sharing and viewing experience.

Depending on another service's popularity to drive your own. Perhaps risky, but I don't think Instagram is going to be a dwindling force just yet.

JavaScript Study Guide

Chris Shiflett

A few months ago, I wrote about learning JavaScript. I'm already pretty comfortable with the language, and although I did break the chain, I'm happy to report that I'm still at it. Never stop learning, right?

Nice list.

Fact and folklore in software engineering

Laurent Bossavit, Institut Agile

The verdict seems clear: this supposed “scientific” observation on individual programmer productivity variations only deserves the name of folklore, unsubstantiated bits of opinion which are transmitted and kept alive for reasons more cultural than rational. I am most emphatically not claiming that there aren’t variations in productivity of that order: I am only saying that this “fact” has not been demonstrated, and that as of today we do not know what to make of it even if it were true.
