What the heck does this mean?

I'm doing a phone interview tomorrow with the lead tech guy and he, and I quote: "wants to make sure that your strategies align more with Ruby best practices as opposed to a more traditionally .NET approach." Now, what exactly does that mean? From my experience, Ruby developers have piss poor practices, but I really wonder Ruby brings to the table in terms of practices that are somehow different from "traditional" .NET approaches. All I can think of is leveraging features like mixins that promote bad OO practices. Anyone have a clue? More generally, would you say that [Java / C / PHP / F# / etc.] has best practices that distinguish it from "traditional .NET" development? Marc

Um... Testing... Testing... Seriously. Many Ruby wallahs think that .NET guys don't do enough testing. That sounds like something someone would refer to as "best practices".

I can think of 3 points: 1. Using the strength of the language/environment (what is it for Ruby?) 2. Using common 'best-practices' - but why that should be different between Ruby and other languages? 3. The actual look-and-feel of your code - and I mean that your code is not write-only, and can be used in a group too... In any way such a question would - in most cases at least - turn me hot...It sounds me like a 'tech' guy who didn't got over the slogans and buzzwords of the subject... If you want the job, beware! Do not make him fool!

I am guessing he is either: - talking about building up classes using Ruby's strengths and understanding how to apply duck typing in the best ways, or - talking out of his arse.

Surely it doesn't matter if your strategies come from Ruby, .NET or Mars. If you can write clean, well designed and structured code that meets or exceeds the client's expectations, then it's irrelevant. If I came across that statement from the "lead" tech for a job interview, I'd seriously question their credentials.

Hmmm. My reply to this went straight to the queue. :rolleyes:

Maybe the antispam is crossed that you drank all of its gin reserve. It is a petty entity, I'd never be crossed for such a minor thing but stay away from the Whisky if you value your continued existence :-D

Quite simply it means nothing! I have worked businesses where a number of people use business jargon and nothing else - apart from finding it highly irritating it quite simply is a means of obscuring their lack of knowledge in an area while trying to sound impressive. Best practice - whatever gets the job done making future maintenance as straightforward as possible, in other words doing what you are paid to do.

If it smells like a fart, sounds like a fart and everyone runs away from it then it probably is a fart.

Not sure. Perhaps the filter confused the word 'duck' with something else ;)
