    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Use semicolons in Javascript.</p>

<p>Rigid adherence to any software ideology is detrimental.</p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/moonpolysoft/status/314605895952764928">Just use postgres, you goof</a>.</p>

<p>Stand-ups should never take more than 1 minute per person. This does not mean each person gets 1 minute each.</p>

<p>Stand-ups should not include more than 10 people. More can be allowed if they take a blood oath to never talk.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s pronounced with a hard G, like in &ldquo;Graphics&rdquo;.</p>

<p>Less process is generally better. Process burden need not be a function of team or company size.</p>

<p>Avoid big refactorings/rearchitecture when possible. Refactor in place instead.</p>

<p>Never rely on unproven third-party software. This does not mean &ldquo;never use third-party software&rdquo;.</p>

<p>Periods inside of quotation marks are dumb.</p>

<p>New features automatically become riskier the more the product / project matures.</p>

<p>99% of potential new features make a mature product worse.</p>

<p>You will need to concentrate on Application Security sooner than you think.</p>

<p>The word &ldquo;Cybersecurity&rdquo; reminds me of the movie Hackers. Stop <a href="https://twitter.com/cybereveryword">cyber-ing everything</a>.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>So, my website has been more-or-less nonfunctional for about 5 years. I finally buckled down and got things going again. Instead of my own home-rolled blogging software I went the simple route and just used a static site generator based on Jekyll called Octopress. We&rsquo;ll see how this goes. I&rsquo;ll actually post stuff here in the future, I think. Twitter is great for soundbytes and snippets of wisdom, but I&rsquo;m finding it too constraining when discussing nuanced topics.</p>
