If you type git pull and expect a fast-forward update, but get a merge instead, don't panic! This usually happens when we're collaborating on a branch with other people, and we've made changes on our local version of a branch, and someone else (or the other you, if you use git to sync between multiple dev platforms) has made changes to the remote version of a branch in the meantime. It also happens really frequently in teams where all commits are to the master branch ... yet another reason to have a decent branching strategy.

Recent additions to the joind.in API have introduced some new dependencies so we decided we'd start using Composer to manage these - but we don't want to run composer unsupervised. I'm sure this will bring the rain of "just run composer install, it's probably mostly almost safe" criticism, but actually it's quite tricky to run Composer without excluding vendor/ from source control so I thought I'd share how we did it so that anyone who wants to do so can learn from my experience!

It didn't start out like that. When I first discovered TDD, it was like a courteous invitation to a better world of writing software. A mind hack to get you going with the practice of testing where no testing had happened before. It opened my eyes to the tranquility of a well-tested code base, and the bliss of confidence it grants those making changes to software.

BETA: This is a Code Heavy Read :)

Not all apps need to be an SPA (Single Page Application). Sure they have their place but in most cases the task might benefit from just a Blade template and Angular widget. This saves you from having to write an angular route which can be a tedious duplication of work. Also Blade is fast and fun to work with.

The following is a story about how we matured as an engineering team. We went from an ad-hoc process to Scrum, and used Scrum for a whole year. Scrum leveled us up as a team in terms of structure and process. But it caused major morale issues. Then we found Kanban. We implemented it and have never looked back.

This will cover two things. One, how helpful it can be to make a clickable Proof of Concepts (POC), not just with images, or tools the spit out html but instead just enough javascript and base theme to help "sell" the idea, or more importantly to help Product Owners see the possibilities that are not too far out of reach. And the second, and maybe more important thing I will cover is that the developer has a lot to gain in taking on this seemingly non-coding path.

"For the last year I have been experimenting with the new approach to a Behaviour-Driven Development, which could be summarised as "Ubiquitous Language is a thing again". The core premise of this approach is that if you take Ubiquitous Language seriously and push for it in your scenarios, you open the door to doing a Domain-Driven Design while you're doing Behaviour-Driven Development's red-green-refactor cycle. By embedding Ubiquitous Language in your scenarios, your scenarios naturally become your domain model, which you can use to develop the most important part of your application - a core domain."

First let me define what a “Side Project” is. In this case a “Side Project” is something you are not being paid for and something that you have complete control over....
