    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.

      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

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

                    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.

                    "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter

                          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.

                                    Unless I'm employing someone to create strategies, they can keep their strategies at home -- that's as "aligned" as they need to be.

                                      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.

                                        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

                                        May I translate: We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your existence as you know it is over and you will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. Or even simpler: We want to go sure that any crap we have produced, be it as unconventional as it wants, will be adopted by you as best practice. If you have the option: Run as fast and as far you can.

                                          Unless I'm employing someone to create strategies, they can keep their strategies at home -- that's as "aligned" as they need to be.

                                          Just the sort of comment I'd expect from someone with misalignment all over their strategies!
