The broken window
-
How to apply the Broken Window principle cited in the Pragmatic Programmer book. I'm trying but it seems fantastic when you are just a team member. I'm not aiming at code only and its related fields, but also on managing projects.

Ce qu'on voit whatever whatever? I don't see how that can be applied much to programming. Are you just trying to advertise a book?

This principle is well applied when you use small fast iterations with regular code reviews and lots of unit tests. Basically, the principle is fix early and fix often. In other words, if you catch and fix something early then it doesn't become a big problem later on. It comes from this: "Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it's unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside. Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates. Soon, more litter accumulates. Eventually, people even start leaving bags of trash from take-out restaurants there or breaking into cars."
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

It seems that the theory is mentioned there in this book. I don't think he wants to advertise the book, more likely he wants to know how developers influent each other in a team (working techniqe related, we had that behavior-related thingie a short while ago, hadn't we?). Nevermind, just my 2 cents :rolleyes: .
