I completely agree with you, Steve. At my previous job we used Visual SourceSafe (VSS). We struggled to try and use TFS, but never got it right, so we used...

Starting today all state departments have had to let people work from home. This has resulted in several challenges, many I won't go into.

For me, in a way, it isn't...

What a fascinating idea, Kendra! I've never heard of reteaming. Thank you for the link to Reedgate's use of self-selecting reteaming, I'm going to read it with interest!!

Oh, Grant, I am so envious of your career!! My career has practically been the opposite. In the 90's I worked for an organization that did soil and biological testing....

I remember writing a SSRS report which had calculations in it. I was guilty of not testing it properly. I released it to production and almost immediately had management on...

I've made the mistake of implementing a spec wrong. Simply put, I misinterpreted it. If there's some confusion on what a spec says, then I've asked for clarification, more than...

This is a very interesting article. As far as I know, none of our SQL objects are in source control. Well, except for what we, the developers, write in order...

Good points, Steve. So many thoughts. I have a 4 year degree from a university in Arizona. Without that, I would never have gotten to where I am today. But...
