Why Are There So Few New Programming Languages?

When was the last time you heard about a new programming language? And by that I mean a programming language that introduces some new concepts or tries to do things in a totally different way, not yet another variation on the same (C-)theme. It’s possible that I missed out on…

Hvor er alle nye programmeringsspråk?

Denne teksten ble først publisert hos Kode24. Det slo meg for et par uker siden at det er lenge siden jeg har hørt om et nytt programmeringsspråk som på en grunnleggende måte legger om på ting. Det siste store må ha vært funksjonell programmering og utvikling av mobile apper, og…

Fem lærdommer fra Log4Shell

Denne teksten ble først publisert hos Digi.no. Det har nå gått litt over en måned siden det ble publisert en sårbarhet i Apache Log4j-rammeverket. Sårbarheten, som går under kallenavnet Log4Shell, ble utnyttet ganske raskt, og mange virksomheter, både her i Norge og i resten av verden, måtte stenge ned en…

How to Sharpen Your Unit Tests

How “Simple Things” Quickly Become Complicated in Software Development

“There’s this little thing that we would like to see automated” — how often haven’t you heard this, knowing that it’s not going to be a little thing at all? Or maybe you’ve said it yourself, even though you know better? Why is it that simple things never stay simple…

My Six Years with #NoEstimates

It has been six years now since I first came into contact with the #NoEstimates movement. I was attending the OOP conference in Munich, and went to Vasco Duarte’s session called “How to improve estimates for software: The #NoEstimates view”. For me, it was an eye-opener, not in the sense…
