Programming Pretty Good Practices

  • Write code that works, most of the time at least.
  • Keep documentation up-to-date unless no one's going to read it anyway.
  • Use TDD, but don't both to hook up CI.
  • Hire a ScrumMaster (certified of course), and then tell him/her what to do on the team, based on your (uncertified) ideas of scrums from all those rugby games you watched last year.
  • Test files should exist to give the appearance of caring and design.
  • Popular libraries should be included to give the appearance of being cutting-edge.
  • Always use the words agile, rock start, and ninja in your job ads whether they apply to your existing team or not
  • Use the Presenter pattern because ... um... you should
  • Replace your daily standup with your daily pivot.
