• Nice general advice, really liked the hero link from that post:

    It resonates for me because we have still got some hero code, the source of which cannot be traced, so many sites have had to run in .Net 1.1 for the last x years. It took literally 3 years to eradicate this particular Japanese knot weed from ongoing codebase when I arrived here, after the hero had gone. Seeing this hero mode and it's repercussions has made me examine my own practices carefully to see how I can ensure everything is done with team in mind. Not always easy but hopefully I'm getting there.
