Re: My Ideal Development Shop

Alan Stevens — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:30:32 -0000

Personally, I want to work on a team where everyone clocks out at 5:00. I want to work with people with rich and diverse interests and experiences outside of software development. I want to work with people who make time with their family a priority. I want to work with a team who honestly acknowledge the time constraints of the work day and ship software accordingly. I do not want to work on a team where I am expected to perform heroics and work extra hours. Heroism is failure in the ongoing flow of delivering value with software.

Congratulations on fulfilling a dream. You are moving to a beautiful area.

I look forward to meeting you when you get to the area.

Re: Chocolatey Software | PuTTY 0.74

Ha. I don't know why I had a package in my repo.

Oliver,
if you have a working package, clone my repo or Rob's nugetpackages
repo. Add your package. Commit, push and send a pull request. I can test
your code and merge it doesn't matter which repo you add it to.

Please post comments on the github repository: https://github.com/alanstev...

Oliver, you should be able to duplicate my putty package and edit it for Kitty then send a pull request with minimal effort. Alternatively, just create and publish the package yourself.

Unlikely. This product went commercial so this is the last freeware version.

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | Vim 8.0.442

Alan Stevens — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:30:31 -0000

Darcy, the cream build allows for silent install while the binaries from Vim.org do not.

I've run into the issue you describe. Do you know of any pre-built mingw python binaries? I've built my own Vim before and could build Vim and Python as part of a chocolatey install, but this isn't homebrew or Gentoo. ;-)

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | Vim 8.0.442

Alan Stevens — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:28:13 -0000

There is a 64bit version: http://code.google.com/p/vi...
I've never used it. Never had a need.
Leonard, if you need 64bit Vim, for some reason, let me know and I'll try to add it.

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | Vim 8.0.442

Alan Stevens — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:25:54 -0000

I just submitted a pull request to fix this. It is only an issue on 32bit Windows.

Re: Chocolatey Software | Mp3tag 2.93.1-beta

Should be fixed in the 2.55 update

Re: Microsoft and Open Source

Alan Stevens — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:23:17 -0000

I wish I could disagree with any of your conclusions, but I can't. Despite (or perhaps because of) a dozen years on the MS platform, I trust Microsoft less today than ever before.

Nice post, "Chris". :-P

I'm looking forward to see both of you at That Conf.

Re: OAuth 2.0 in Web API

Alan Stevens — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:16:21 -0000

Hmmm... I thought there would be a complete sample leveraging the MessageHandler, OperationHandler and Helpers.

Re: OAuth 2.0 in Web API

Alan Stevens — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:06:29 -0000

Hi Howard,

What's the ETA of getting this sample in the Prototype branch? I want to pick this apart.

The first two of your bullet points are very high priority for me. I'm glad that you are working on it. Please reach out to me if you want some early feedback.

Cheers,

Re: How To Replace Source Control With Comments

Alan Stevens — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:34:09 -0000

This is the dirty secret of our industry. The number of developers that don't suck and the amount of code that doesn't suck is a statistical anomaly. *sigh*

Re: Twitter, You're Fired

Alan Stevens — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:37:35 -0000

Kudos for doing what works for you, Rob. Obviously, my experience of Twitter is different than yours, but C'est la vie. I will miss the occasional jabs we exchanged, since that's the only interaction we had.
