It is 9 years since Joel Spolsky created “The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code”. I thought it fitting to make a poll around it for the August 12th edition of the UK Flash (and a big thanks to @rammesses for the initial suggestion). There is a little

UK MSDN Flash Poll for June 17th 2009: How many monitors do you use for developing software?

I have a couple of days leave coming, hence the early poll to accompany the Flash next week. I bumped into an old colleague who now has a six monitor setup in his home for developing software – which made my “notebook + 19inch monitor” setup look a little

UK MSDN Flash Poll: As a developer, what do you think of IE 8?

I don’t do much web development these days (with the exception of when I am thinking about Windows Azure) and I certainly haven’t battled with complex html+JavaScript across multiple browsers for a long, long while. On the other hand, my colleague Mike

UK MSDN Flash Poll: How good are your estimating skills?

A long, long time ago I used to take pride in my ability to estimate how long it would take to code something (which worked well!) and be pretty much spot on. With older eyes I suspect I used to overestimate how long it would take and then pad the time
