Blue. No, Yellow
What language was used to write the very first programs for the very first stored-program computer?

Classes vs. Data Structures
Or rather, an object is a set of functions that operate on implied data elements.

Why Clojure?
I’ve programmed systems in many different languages; from assembler to Java. I’ve written programs in binary machine language. I’ve written applications in Fortran, COBOL, PL/1, C, Pascal, C++, Java, Lua, Smalltalk, Logo, and dozens of other languages. I’ve used statically typed languages, with lots of type inference…

TDD Doesn't Work
Yeah, an in-depth study that repeated another study that was done a few years back. Both showed that TDD doesn’t work. The new one uses a multi-site, blind analysis, approach. It looks conclusive.

Dijkstra's Algorithm
I was at SCNA the other day, and someone approached me about TDD and Dijkstra’s algorithm. He wondered if you could find a sequence of tests that would lead you to the algorithm. This sounded like a fun little exercise, so I decided to give it a try here.

Clean Coder Blog
Peter was showing the relationship between age and reputation on stack overflow. The correlation is unmistakable. The older the programmer, the better the reputation, by far. He also shows, in the following graph, that the reason for this correlation is that the older programmers answer far more questions than the…

Over the last several years we’ve seen a whole range of ideas regarding the architecture of systems. These include:
